BALDNESS (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Rebecca Hays, professor of genetics, said the male-pattern baldness gene is a recessive mutation on the x-chromosome.
"It depends on the mother's gene," she said. "So, it's all up to the moms."
testosterone levels. "It's a double-edged sword," she said. "The more testosterone, the more likely to be bald. However, high testosterone helps build musc-"
Hays, the geneticist, said students who went bald at a young age were predisposed to high testosterone levels.
Nick Kurtenbach, a Kansas football player, said he had been losing his hair since his senior year in high school.
"I didn't like it at first," he said.
"But it's not like I stay at home on Saturday nights wishing I had hair."
Kurtenbach, a Lindsay, Neb., junior, said he has a girlfriend, and until he loses all of his hair, he won't worry about it.
"I hope I can just hold on for another five years," he said. "I just want to make it to 30."
Kurtenbach isn't the only football player who is losing hair. Joe Mortensen, sophomore linebacker, reacted to his receding hairline by shaving his whole head like Mr. Clean
Others are upset because they are not able to experience Mohawks, mullets, rattails or any other funky hairdo, many try to cover it up.
Leylink, the stylist, estimated about 35
percent of her customers had a preceding hairline.
Leylink dated a guy with a receding hairline, and she cut his hair to minimize what was missing.
"I left the 'widow's peak' longer, and cut the bangs shorter, which creates the illusion of hair."
Leylink and Mareska, the other stylist, said they have balding customers who are worried about losing their hair.
"When I cut it too short, they get mad," Mareska said.
"Get rid of the skater/surfer look." Levink said.
They said bald guys were actually more attractive than shaggy guys.
"Yeah, we would much rather date a bald guy than a guy with shaggy hair," Mareska said.
While these stylists claim they would prefer to date a bald guy.
1) Huik Hogan, professional wrestler
2) James Carville, political pundit
3) Aaron Lewis, lead singer of Staind
4) Cal Ripken, former MLB player
5) Moby, dance and techno band
6) Jesse Ventura, former Minnesota governor
"It's a double-edged sword.The more testosterone,the more likely to be bald."
Fran Scheuerman, Overland Park freshman, would like the ability to grow the "shag."
Scheuerman has a noticeably high hairline like others in his family.
"It doesn't make me look older," he said. "I don't have a mature face vet. So yeah, I'm fucked."
For men who can't live with it, the stylists recommend Rogaine or Nioxin.
Nioxin is hair plugs that are surgically implemented into the scalp.
REBECCA HAYS Professor of genetics
Hays, the geneticist, said male-pattern baldness was genetically inherited and that it was a myth that environmental factors, such as wearing a baseball hat, make men lose hair.
Hays said there was no effective medical way to prevent malepattern baldness. She said tennis star Andre Agassi started with a prodigious head of hair but embraced
balding — and made it look good.
Other bald sports figures include Seattle Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck and former wrestling superstar Stone Cold Steve Austin.
KU guys who are never going to attain enough star power to flaunt their baldness are left with only two choices as their hairlines recede.
Like Hollingsworth, the Wichita freshman, they can bemoan their baldness and act as if they lost one of life's little lotteries. Or, like Towell, the Overland Park freshman, they can accept it, look old enough to get into bars, and even take a shine to bald jokes.

As for suggestions that would not cost the city much money, Matrix Consulting recommended clarifying the role and responsibility of the Planning Commission, referring to meetings that often go late into the night. Adopting timelines in which developers can expect to hear back from the city was also high on the list. Matrix highly recommended that the city adopted a single set of building codes: the most recent version of the International Code Council. Pennington said that measure would make it easier for out-of-town developers to do business in Lawrence.
Matrix also put a higher emphasis on the Internet in its report, making part of the development process available online, not only for developers, but for members of the public wanting to know what's going on in their city.
Pennington pointed out a number of ways the city's approval process was efficient, but said by adopting a number of these recommendations, it would make the development-approval process clearer and more understandable for developers. He added that the goal of the approval process was not to make it easier to
get proposals approved, but to make that process more efficient.
tificate to Epic Apparel and her winning design will appear in the store's windows.
nobbie Flory, executive director of the Lawrence Home Builders Association said a more efficient process would greatly benefit the development community.
Pennington said that his company usually sees 85 percent of their recommendations implemented, and the process of implementing their suggestions could take several years, but the Lawrence city commissioners weren't atypical in their response to the report.
"It's unpredictable," she said of the current process. "There would be times, finding out at the end of the process a condition that wasn't known at the beginning."
"I think it could establish a tone in the community that could be very different," Rundle said. "I'm hearing less about 'business unfriendly' and that we're creating obstacles.
Commissioners agreed to evaluate different software systems in 2007 to properly choose which one would benefit the city the most for the future, but Amyx said he asked Corliss to look at some of the recommendations that could be done in a reasonable time.
Commissioner Mike Rundle wanted to make it clear that the city realizes it has improvements to make.
"I was blown away" Verreos said.
Verreos said the designs were up to par if not better than those from students in fashion schools he had visited across the country.
Carolina Medeiros, Recife Brazil, junior, attended the show and agreed with Verreos's assessment.
"I think that it was a good effort from everyone," Medeiros said. "You could see they put a lot of work into it."

campaign cycle."
Instead, Langston said student voters told him they were most tired of lobbying scandals tied to Republicans and the actions of Representatives like Mark Foley, who recently resigned from the U.S. House because of sexual allegations involving House pages.
"I didn't like that I had to miss out on this one," Sedberry said. "I want to try to have my voice heard."
The KU College Republicans organization did not return several calls for comment.
Kim Sedberry, Dallas senior, said she didn't register in time for an absentee ballot, but that she and her friends thought votes mattered more in this election than they had in recent years.
"They deserve congratulations," Franklin said.
Franklin said she was proud of the students' efforts to learn about candidates and then to head to polls.
