COCK-A-DOODLE-DO
■ In the neighborhood for more
than 30 years, Pete Peterson’s
shop is the local “Cheers”
By Anne Le Chevallier
Oregon Daily Emerald
With salons popping up
all over Eugene, and
more salons catering
to and attracting male
clientele, the old-style barbershop is
one cut away from extinction. There
is a place near campus, however,
where customers can still get a trim
and a conversation about sports —
or whatever: the Red Rooster Barber
Shop.
Located at 866 E. 13th Ave., Red
Rooster is the last of the Mohicans.
It is a symbol of the dying tradition
of personal, specialized barber
shops.
Those who venture inside can
witness its distinction. Several
sports magazines and the most re
cent copy of Playboy sit on a shelf.
But if female nudity seems un
usual for a haircutting place, then
it’s even more unusual that this
shop features a trophy deer looming
over the waiting area, the jaws of the
100-pound shark that the proprietor
Pete Peterson caught, a garage-sale
rooster mosaic and the framed sig
nature of Steve Prefontaine’s last —
and canceled — hair appointment.
Peterson, who has cut hair at this
location for more than 30 years, has
plastered the ceiling and three walls
with trophy game, photos, posters
and other autographed sports mem
orabilia. He has an autographed Su
per Bowl XXIV football on display,
a signed photo of former 49ers Head
Coach George Seifert and an auto
graphed cardboard cutout of former
University quarterback and current
ABC analyst Dan Fouts.
But Peterson emphasized that
most of the sports memorabilia are
gifts from clients who have become
friends.
Explaining his motto, Peterson
said, “I want to make friends out of
my customers but not customers out
of my friends. And that is why I
have as many friends as I do.”
Peterson said that before the
sports department moved to the
Casanova Center, the coaches, staff
and athletes used to drink coffee and
“bullshit” with him at his shop.
Men’s basketball head coach Ernie
Kent became friends with the barber
during his days as a “Kamikaze Kid”
on the basketball team. Since their
meeting 28 years ago, Kent and Pe
terson have dined and fished togeth
er and seen their families change.
“He shows compassion in the
community,” Kent said. “He
knows everybody, and everybody
knows him. ... He is part of the
University to me.”
Although the Red Rooster is
less visited by current athletes,
the camaraderie between the bar
bers and diverse clientele is evi
dent. Peterson said people join in
each others’ conversations and
talk about anything and every
thing, but mostly women, sports
and bawdy jokes.
Making his shop seem like
“Cheers,” Peterson said, “We have
fun with every person that walks
through the door.”
Sophomore Michael Rogers, who
has visited Red Rooster four or five
times, said Peterson is a legitimate
friend to his former and now fa
mous clients and “has good rela
tionships with all his customers.”
Rogers, who said the shop is com
fortable and entertaining, added,
“When you ask Pete about some
one, he goes on and on forever.”
On campus since the early 1970s,
Peterson has as many interesting
stories as clients. Because of his ac
curate memory of a hair cut, Peter
son said he helped identify a bank
robber about 30 years ago. Peterson,
who cut Prefontaine’s hair, said he
even became a consultant to the
track flick “Without Limits” when
the hairdresser could not give an ac
tor a proper flattop. In recent years,
the barber has hosted a fishing seg
ment with the local NBC affiliate
KMTR and raised more than $1,000
for Children’s Miracle Network.
While other barbershops and sa
lons have come and go, the Red Roost
er has lasted through five University
presidents, the football team’s eight
year losing streak and numerous hair
trends. Kent said the barbershop has
never changed. As for the future, the
shop is expected to stay the same.
Actually, there may be more pic
tures on the walls.

Anthrax update
continued from page 1
“We’re telling people that there
is a threat - that right now the
threat is in the mail,” Postmaster
General John Potter said. “There
are no guarantees that mail is
safe.”
Potter recommended people
wash their hands after handling
mail.
The number of people infected
by anthrax remains small, but au
thorities conceded that little is
known about how the disease is
spreading, that they had made
mistakes in responding to it and
that they could not predict what
might happen next.
More than 7,000 FBI agents are
working on the cases, FBI Direc
tor Robert Mueller said, but the
odds of more terrorist acts remain
“very high.”
Meanwhile, investigators dis
covered at least two new anthrax
“hot spots” in the Hart Senate Of
fice Building. Anthrax spores were
discovered Wednesday in an air
conditioning vent and at a nearby
mail-carrier entrance to an eleva
tor, but in lower concentrations
than earlier finds in the building.
