Ed Mayars, owner ot the Kampus Barber Shop at 851 E. 13th Ave ,
cuts the hair ot one othis foreign customers, Richard Librach ot To
ronto Mayars will retire trom the shop after 31 years and plans to
travel the world
Muyurs said lie argued six
yiMrx ago with u customer
who didn't believe foreign
students contributed any
thing positive lor the Univer
sity Muyurs said ho promptly
tacked up a large map of the
world on which pins repre
sent each customer's country
of origin The map represents
the international flavor of the
University anil helped his
foreign customers open up
about the places they’ve
lived.
"After pulling up the map.
they talked more than ever
be lore about their country,
their culture and their reli
gion.” he said
Men's haircuts haven’t
changed much since he first
begun working at the barber
shop, Muyurs said Today’s
mate students ask for flat
tops, just us men did 31 years
ago However, men may now
request that Muyurs shave
parts of their head to create
designs
In 1**22. the Kampus Bar
ber Shop opened under the
ownership of the lute Luo
Ueffenbacher. Muyurs began
working with Deffenbucnor

"hud .1 good life even during
the Depression." Ironically.
M.iviirs siiiii ho now owns

ness. Jiisi liki: his friend's hi
ther.
Mayors chose Penny Berry,
his son's girlfriend, to replace
him as Rumpus Barber Shop
because “she promised me
she'd keep it the same." Ber
ry. who has 25 years of hair
cutling experience, said
Mayors has taught her a lot.
“He’s helped me have a
positive attitude, und he's
helped me with my confi
dence." Berry said. "I'll bring
a few more people to the
area I don't want to change
anything, but it will have a
different feeling. It'll feel like
Penny's been here before
long."
