beard ban

The students of BYU have spent far too many hours studying to achieve grades good enough for acceptance into this school to be rewarded with such inconvenient parking arrangements. There is no reason why students at BYU should have to walk up the 192 steps (I did my research) before and after class to park by the Smith Fieldhouse. This is the only reasonable parking space for students and it just so happens to be fairly distant from the majority of classes on campus. Sure, we can park on the other side of the Marriott or down by the tennis courts, but I believe that students at BYU should be awarded better parking options. I understand that transportation by bicycle is ideal. However, many of the students of BYU have to work before, after, or if you're like me, in-between classes. For these students, transportation by bicycle is simply unreasonable.

The BYU Honor Code’s restriction of all facial hair other than mustaches is quite the controversial policy. As a senior at BYU who is going into a finance job in NYC, which is widely considered very conservative, I contest that this policy should be seriously reconsidered as the acceptability of cleanly trimmed beards is growing worldwide.
