Has anyone ever lodged a complaint against the campus barbers?
They used to have a "Playboy" in plain view despite the
fact that little children often were in the barber shop. Plus,
the dozen or so times I went there I heard numerous anit-gay and
anti-female comments. I finally decided to support a different
local barber shop and found that it cost less, the cut looked
better, and the barbers had manners.

The UND barbers have made comments of a sexual nature about women ever since they came to UND. The Playboy magazine means these fellas have mellowed. They used to have penthouse magazines around.

What do you expect from UND's administration? Do you really think they would stop the barbers from sexually harassing anyone? That would be folowing regulations...and that's a skill UND administrators never mastered.

Why does the University's administration permit all of this to go on? It seems to me its time someone clean house at UND.

You have the option when visiting the UND Barber Shop to either read the PLAYBOY or not read it. Is this a university or a grade school? Do we have to protect our little babies at UND from the world or can they be expected to make some decisions on their own like the rest of the adult world?

So, you think it is okay to have an adult magazine where children are and have state employees making sexist comments right and left?
Thank God I left North Dakota after finishing at UND. T&J would have their a$$es kicked if they ever tried to pull that in a big city.

The issue is not really the Playboy as I see it. Its the derrogatory comments directed against females and (but not a concern to me-the anti-gay statements) the two barbers make.
