No-shave month is here

By Angela Lingg

In honor of No-Shave November, several students at HCC have put away their razors for the entire month.

Beards are beginning to appear on the faces of a few male students. However, not to be outdone, the ladies are encouraged to stop shaving their legs.

The campuswide No-Shave November challenge is hosted by Phi Theta Kappa. After one month of not shaving, the best hairy beard for males, and the best hairy legs for females will receive a prize.

Cordell Meely, Topeka, has his beard started.

“I like growing beards,” Meely said. “And it’s for a good cause.”

No-Shave November is actually a nation-wide event, used to raise awareness and funds for cancer.

Phi Theta Kappa’s contest will be held on Nov. 30 at 4 p.m. in the Justice Theater in Shears Technology Center.

If students are unable to make the meeting, picture entries are also accepted. Each person competing will be required to pay a five-dollar entrance fee. Phi Theta Kappa is planning on giving 25% of the proceeds to the Cancer Council of Reno County.

According to LeAnn Bravi, sponsor of Phi Theta Kappa, this organization helps residents of Reno County cover cancer-related costs that might not be covered by insurance.

These costs could include travel expenses, wigs, or prosthetics.
