This post has been paid for by Woodstock’s and doesn’t reflect the editorial coverage of Mustang News.
In case you didn’t know, it’s No Shave November — and today is Mustache Monday — which means you should be growing out your own facial hair to spread awareness! We interviewed guys around campus who are championing the event — so much that they should be the faces of The Movember Foundation. Agreed? Agreed.
Theatre senior and defensive lineman Chris Judge and sociology senior and fullback Brent Michaels
“What better way to combat the upcoming winter than to grow a mountain man beard?” Michaels said. “Also, Jesus had a beard.”
Political science sophomore Jason Sawatzky
“I’ve been perfecting (my mustache) for Movember,” he said. “It sounded fun and it’s an excuse to see what I could do — and it supports a cause indirectly. I’m also generally a hairy guy.”
Aerospace engineering junior Calvin Born
“I’ve been aware of Movember, and have donated,” he said. “I’m doing it because it’s the one month that’s acceptable to have a terribly shaggy beard and nobody can make fun of me for it. It’s awful progress – there’s a bald spot on my chin – but I’m only 20, so it’ll grow later on in my life.”

“I’m just doing it because it’s fun to grow out my beard,” Tornaghi said. “A bunch of people on lacrosse are doing it so it’s fun to do it with my team. And I gotta support men’s health.”
“I’m a graduating senior so this will probably be the only time I can participate before going into the working world,” Michael Paul said.
Electrical engineering sophomore Jake Bert
“I wanted to see how long my mustache would grow,” Bert said. “My progress is fine, but there’s some spotty areas. I have glorious chin hair, though.”
Woodstock’s employees Jack, Tim and Johnny
“(I’m doing it) for the prostates.” – Jack
“I didn’t grow this ‘stache, this ‘stache grew me.’” – Tim
“I forgot and shaved (off) my mustache, but I still have my beard.” – Johnny
If you haven’t been growing out your mustache/leg/armpit hair for Movember, shame on you!
However, you can still go to Woodstock’s Stache Bash on Nov. 19from 9 – 11 p.m. Who knows? You just might bump into one of these fellas.
