Subtle stubble. That's it, boys — my favorite style of facial hair. It's sexy and refined. Rugged, yet classic. Think Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones. A 72-hour shadow allows for just enough scruff — not so much that something could live in it, but just enough that it surpasses unpleasantly pokey whiskers. And let's face it, a little stubble is much more attractive than none.
Ironically, my boyfriend informed me this week that he's letting his facial hair grow for an undetermined period of time, "just to see how it looks." I'm interested (and excited, of course) to see how it turns out, especially since I've never seen more than his 3-day, too-lazy-to-shave scruff that I happen to like very much. However, growing facial hair is a delicate art that must be approached with caution. Few men can pull it off without looking like a crude lumberjack.
Three of my childhood experiences have undoubtedly shaped my views on facial fuzz:
never had much more — or less — than whiskers. I remember hugging him and cringing when it scraped against my cheek, scrunching up my face and saying, "Grandpa, you really need to shave." And he would laugh. I still tell him the same thing and he never does anything about it. To be honest, I think it's intentional.

2) A couple of years ago, I saw a photo of my parents just after I was born. My mom was holding me and a strange man with a beard down to his chest was next to us. I stared at it for a minute before I asked who it was. Lo and behold, it was my father. It made me uncomfortable.
In conclusion, I've decided that moderation is key. I don't want to see Hagrid any more than I want to see Charlie Chaplin walking on campus. An unkempt or overly exaggerated beard or mustache is no way to impress a lady. Subtle stubble is. Be rugged and refined.
3) No-Shave November: a time for all men to express their manliness. On the trip to the Orange Bowl with the KU marching band, the drumline decided to experiment with their lifterover beards. Much to the dismay of our director, each one of the percussionists showed up with freshly sculpted facial-dos to our last practice. Hilarious, but NOT attractive. For more on the growing trend of artful man-grooming, check out Beth's story on page 8.

Director Dennis Christilles has been taking students to Greece since 1997. He said this experience is unique for his students because they don't just see Greece through the windows of a tour
Brian Bondari produced the score for "The Trojan Women" in
collaboration with Christilles. He now teaches at the University of Texas at Tyler, but went to Iniades twice with Christilles.
This weekend, the same group of students will transfer the Greek tragedy from the ancient theater of Greece to the Inge Theatre in Murphy Hall. The performances this weekend are in celebration of the one-year anniversary of Lawrence's sister city agreement with Iiades.
"It's overwhelming to rehearse and practice in a place that witnessed the birth of Western music, theater and civilization as a
whole," Bondari said in an e-mail.
One challenge the students faced was learning and performing one-third of the dialogue in Greek. Maggie Parker, a junior from Bentonville, Ark., said that

They also travel to historic cities like Delphi, Corinth and Mycenae. Christlstes said the cornerstone of their work, the production itself, was done in fourth century B.C. theater in Iniades.
The group lives in an elementary school in the village of Katohi, which is part of the larger city of Iniades, for six weeks. During this time, they take classes in ancient Greek drama and architecture.

Lance Johnson, Lawrence City Commissioner, said one of the commission's concerns was making sure that no alcohol was sold to minors.

Haworth evacuated after chemical spill
The University's emergency notification text message and e-mail alert system notified students and staff this morning that Haworth Hall had been evacuated as a precaution after a hazardous materials report.
KU Police Chief Ralph Oliver said that a beaker had been accidentally knocked over, and the chemicals had an odor. The police had to figure out what had been knocked over and if the chemicals were in the air system.
Haworth reopened for classes at 8:30 a.m.
Police cars blocked Sunnyside Avenue from Illinois Street to Naismith Drive.

An understanding friend may be harder to come by as technology grows and changes the way society interacts. According to a recent University of Michigan study, college students today, also called 'Generation Me', are about 40 percent less empathetic than those from the '80s or '90s.

That class of college students seems to correspond with the beginning of a new generation, one still at large, that is totally immersed in the Internet.
"I feel like Facebook changes how we talk to each other," said Erin Tomkins, a senior from Lawrence.
