Old-fashioned haircut trims frills, saves bucks
By MATT BARTEL
Staff Reporter
Although the traditional barber's haircut may once have started to give way to the hair stylist's shampoo, style and blow dry, depressed economic conditions could force a return to the barbershop, a Lawrence barber said recently.
Ken Gifford, the proprietor of the Stadium Barber Shop, 1033 Massachusetts St., said there was little difference between the haircuts he gave for $5 and the more costly ones that styling salons offer.
“All that other stuff — the shampoo, the blow dry — we do that, too,” he said, “and it will end up costing $10 or $12, or whatever, just like theirs. But a lot of guys don't feel they need to get a haircut, that's something they can do at home.”
Gifford said the current trend toward shorter hairstyles for men was fine
"We've had an awful lot of young fellows coming in and getting their hair cut to above the ears," he said. "That's our last time we had that in a long time."
THE QUALITY of the shorter cut is as good as any he has done, Gifford II.
"This is just a more full haircut," he said. "If I had to pick one style that I thought should stay around for good, I think the one now, where the hair is maybe around the top of the ear, would be the one."
"But it won't. They always have to change."
He said that the flat-top, popular in the 1950s, was probably the most difficult haircut to give, because it required the barber to stand for long periods of time with his arms out stretched, trying to make each cut similar.
"We'd cut one after another like that, and our arms would get pretty tired."
Giffard said, "Some days we wouldn't cut anything else."
Gifford said that he had a lot of regular customers, and that the conversation in his shop varied with each of them.
"We're all pretty good Monday morning quarterbacks," he said.
THE WALLS of Gifford's shop display hundreds of pictures of athletes, coaches and their teams from Kansas University of Kansas through the years.
Gifford's shop presents a quite different image to customers than the styling salons, with their individual hair styles, bright colors and glistening rows of blow dryers.
The owner of a Lawrence styling salon said her clientele differed from that of the conventional barber's. She said her customers preferred a style that took less time and trouble to maintain.
"Hairsties have gone more casual, to more of an easy-care approach," said Joda Doudna, owner of Joda and Friends, 745 New Hampshire St. "With more women in the work force, they have less time to spend on hair."
She said blow drying was a result of that desire for easy, quick care.
THE SALON offers a shampoo,
hair and style for $13 for men and
$15 for women.
The success of salons such as hers is due in part to the increased popularity of long hair for men, said Doudna, who has been cutting hair for about 10 years.
"When guys' hair got longer, barbers just couldn't handle it," said. "Guys' hair is shorter now, but there is still a lot of style to it."
TORONTO—Last-minute intervention by Chrysler Corp. Chairman Lee Iacoco yesterday failed to resolve a standoff between the company and its dealers, making a strike tomorrow against the automaker a virtuality.
Chrysler facing Canadian walkout
By United Press International
Iacocca, who pulled Chrysler's U.S. division from the brink of bankruptcy, did not make a new wage offer during
an hour-long meeting with United Auto Workers Canada Director Rob Rib
White said the two men met at Iacocca's request. But as tomorrow's 9 a.m. CST strike deadline neared, the union prepared for a strike that Chrysler officials have warned could destroy the company.
"WE TALKED about imports in the industry and the state of the economy, but on collective bargaining, there
was nothing new," White said. "If their economic offer doesn't change there will be a strike at Chrysler Canada."
A UAW spokesman said that it had not been immediately decided whether the two sides would meet again at a short-minute effort to agree on a contract.
Chrysler Vice-Chairman Gerald Greenwald, Iacoca's second in command, met with the Chrysler Canada bargaining committee yesterday and said that the two sides were far apart on salary proposals.
"IT HAS BEEN unanimously rejected by the bargaining committee," White said.
The company made its first economic offer late Tuesday but it was rejected because of its similarity to a wage package rejected by Chrysler's U.S. workers. White said that all lacoca did not reaffirm that offer and that there was no reason to expect Chrysler to make another one.
Investigator testifies shop fire deliberate
By CAROL LICHTI Staff Reporter
A Lawrence Fire Department official testified in the preliminary hearing yesterday of a Lawrence man charged with arson that the Feb. 3 fire at the Royal College Shop had been deliberately, originating in several places.
Tom Black, 40, 322 Woodlawn Dr., the owner of the shop, has been charged with arson and attempting to file a false statement with an insurance company.
Larry Stemmerman, fire investigator for the Lawrence Fire Department, said, "There were three points of origin independent from each other."
HE ALSO TESTIFIED that open cans of a flammable liquid were found in the shop's basement, which was where the fire started. The cans contained a de-glazing fluid used to remove dye from shoes, he said.
fire," said Stemmerman, one of eight witnesses who appeared yesterday.
Stemmerman and three other fire department officials testified that the Royal College Shop, 837 Massachusetts St., was locked when they arrived shortly after 6 p.m. on Feb. 3 to investigate a possible fire.
shop to fight the fire, all four extinctions. In other testimony, Mary Mier, a former bookkeeper for the Royal College Shop, said Black told her to gradually increase the amount of inventory shown on the November 1881, December 1981 and January 1982 monthly reports sent to the Northern Company of New York. All three reports were sent to the company in January.
The firefighters had to break into the shop to fight the fire. All four were certified.
"It was an incendiary fire - a set
MIER SAID THAT she had no knowledge of the actual inventory in the shoe store, and that the increase was based on invoices given to her by Black.
Black wanted the inventory on the February 1982 form to be $165,000, she said.
tory in the report for November 1981 and a $125,000 inventory in the December 1981 report. The December 1982 report is to $142,000 in the January 1982 report.
Mier testified that the shop showed a loss of $3,578 after the third quarter of 1981. The店 recorded a $1,416 profit in October, a $1,609 loss in November and a $3,578 profit in December. The store showed a profit of $4,177 for 1981 in the store's operating statements, Mier said.
ANOTHER STATE witness, Michael Roark, a certified public accountant who worked for the Royal College Shop, said inventory for the 1980 fiscal year ending June 30, 1981, was listed at $65.105 on Black's income tax return.
Using inventory cards that Black gave her after the fire, she determined a $191,000 inventory for the store at the time of the fire. she said
Greg Hammel, assistant district attorney, asked Roark whether he had questioned Black about the difference between the inventory figures on the insurance form and the income tax form
A $89,243 inventory was listed for the previous year in the store's record book.
"I asked him why the figure was lower than what was on the books," Rook said.
She said she listed a $117,400 inven-
ROARK SAID BLACK told him the lower figure on the tax form appeared because spring shoes already had been sold and fall shoes had not yet arrived.

During Hammel's questioning, Koark said financial records showed a decrease in cash.
Roark testified that an inventory of $80,000 appeared on the July 1981 monthly insurance report. He said the figure was an estimate accelerated over the income tax inventory to cover any increase in inventory.
