Classmates Give Mohawk, $15
By Carrie Merryfield
Anyone for a haircut — Mohawk style?
If you're interested and want $15, just apply to the Design II class in the School of Engineering and Architecture.
Julian Ominski, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore, said for $10, he'd do anything, even have his head shaved. The class took him seriously.
OMINSKI DECIDED $10 wasn't enough, so he raised the price to $15. The class collected the money Friday and gleefully descended on him with hair clippers, scissors, brushes and electric razors.
Ominski said he needed the money for a date, but he wasn't sure he'd have a date when the men finished the haircut.
He sat down on a tall wooden stool while the apparatus was assembled.
Gray-green eyes watched aprehensively as 2 classmates waited for a turn with the clippers.
FIFTEEN DOLLAR HAIRCUT—That's what the customer (Julian Ominski, Kansas City, Mo.) received when his Design II classmates shaved his head Mohawk-style Friday.
"GET IT PRETTY straight,
please," he said as the first bits of
his tan crewcut fell over his blue
shirt.
Half of his head was now hairless.
James Carr, Carthage, Mo,
sophmore, took an electric razor
and trimmed it close. He whistled
as he put the finishing touches on
the right side of Ominski's new
hair-do.
"Ychah," he replied. "It's here in my pocket."
"Hey, Ominski," a bystander veiled, "got your money?"
Gerald L. Keltch, instructor of architecture, entered, inspected the job and commented:
"Julian's going to need a new name," someone at the back of the room said. "How about Running Bear—or Bear—and that fits better."
"Maybe he'd better try out for a part in the Centennial," Mr. Kelich said, "He could be an Indian."
Ominski clenched his fists.
CARR WAS STILL trimming the short hair on the sides and still whistling.
Then he picked up a marking pen and said he was going to be the first to sign his name. Ominski protested.
ity, he yelled, we up there. That hurts."
"THERE'S NOT MUCH originality in that, boys."
Uminski cienched his fists,
"Hey,"
"watch out
you are
That hurt's."
Marion Barry, Memphis, Tenn., graduate student, will speak to Faculty Forum tomorrow noon in the English Room of the Kansas Union on "The New Negro Student in the South."
"That's all right, Julian," Carr said. "We're about done."
"Did you know you've got dandruff," asked James R. Brown. "You won't when we get done."
Barry Will Speak At Faculty Forum
Fine Arts Honor Recital Is Set for Tomorrow
The Kansan incorrectly reported yesterday that the Fine Arts Honor Recital would be tonight. The recital will be at 8 tomorrow night in Swarthowton Recital Hall.
James R. Brown, Kansas City,
Mo., junior, used scissors to trim
around Ominski's ears. Someone
asked what kind of scissors he
was using.
Recital Is Tonight
A Lawrence senior will present a violin recital at 8 tonight in Swarthout Recital Hall, Murphy Hall.
Kansan Want Ads Get Results
Miss Gorton has received both the Mu Phi Epsilon Alumnae Award and the Lawrence Music Club Scholarship for contributions in musical performances. In addition to her activities in the field of music, Miss Gorton was crowned Homecoming Queen in 1959.
Judith Gorton's recital, which is open to the public, will include works of Bach, Brahms, Hindemith, Bartok, and de Falla.
"ARCHITECTURAL SCIS- SORS, of course," he answered. "They'll give him the forward look."
Brown finished, and asked for a brush. He was handed a wire floor brush, but Ominski put his foot down.
"That's a job you can be proud of," Mr. Ketch said. "Right now, it's time for a coffee break."
Everyone left the room except Ominski. He stood there shaking his head, running his hand over what had been a crewcut, wondering why he'd ever said a word about money.
