“Higher education is not a parti

Erickson said that whatever
problems may arise as a result of
the split, the government must
find a way to work through them.
“Legislatures always get their work
done,” she said. “They have to.”

Barbershops

hours for a turn at her chair, but an
increasingly fast-paeed culture has
changed that.
“People are in more of a hurry.
Now, if the wait is more than a half
hour, they’ll just come back later,”
Martin said.
Other modern issues have
changed the practices of this classic
trade. Vilhauer, who works at Les’s
Barbershop on East 13th Avenue
and Oak Street, says that since the
arrival of AIDS as a public health
concern, Les’s has drifted away from
the hot lather and straight razor
shaves that were synonymous with
barbershops at one time.
Martin seems most concerned
about the future of her trade. “I think
the days of barbers are kind of dying
out,” she said.
She added that cosmetology
schools have overtaken barber
schools around the country. She grad
uated from a barber school in Boise
and said it was the only school of its
kind left in the area. Even the instruc
tors were cosmetologists with little ex
perience in barber techniques.
The Northwest is not faring any
better, according to Spencer, who
graduated from a Eugene barber
school in 1966.
“The school I went to closed around
1975,1 believe,” Spencer said. “At one
time, there were four in Portland, one
in Salem, one in Eugene and one in
Medford. But not anymore.”
It could be argued that if barber
shops were to fall by the wayside,
they would have done so by now.
The allure may be less about haircut
ting than the dynamics created by a
few people sitting in a room dis
cussing the issue of the day.
And every day is different in a bar
bershop. Perhaps Spencer puts it
best: “You never know what’s going
to walk in the door.”

added that Pyle’s slideshow presen
tation of local butterflies will offer
students a reprieve from the winter
doldrums.
“We thought people might enjoy
getting a reminder of spring,” Juene
mann said.
Bruce Newhouse, one of the found
ing members of the Eugene-Springfield
chapter of the North American Butter
fly Association, said “The Butterflies of
Cascadia” is a valuable in-depth field
guide for butterfly enthusiasts. The
book identifies nearly 200 butterfly
species in the Northwest, with full-col
or photographs and illustrations. He

many other field guides because it fo
cuses on local butterfly populations.
“Most authors try to cover a large
geographic area so their book will have
a more widespread appeal,” New
house said. “But that dilutes the infor
mation in the book.”
Pyle added that his book will be an
ideal introduction to butterfly hunting
for the uninitiated. Besides properly
equipping yourself for an extended
outdoor exploration, Pyle said the
most important thing you must do
when butterfly hunting is be attentive.
“Watch for the flicker of wings
that says ‘here’s a butterfly’ and be
like a pussycat and prowl very slow
ly until you get near,” he said.
