Shop owner keeps traditions alive By Amanda Wilkinson City Editor
Dressed in a button-down shirt with an orange leaf pattern, Terry Roy helped a customer pick out a set of golf clubs while cutting another customer’s hair. Terry’s Clip and Chip, 807 Madison Ave., is a golf shop and barbershop in one location. Roy said he decided to bring his love of golf and cutting hair together about 40 years ago. He said he started cutting hair in 1960 but was introduced to golfing even earlier. “I was raised on a golf course,” Roy said. “My dad was the groundskeeper. Back then, country clubs were public courses, and I used to hang around the repair shop where the clubs were made.” He loved to play golf when he was younger but did not have a lot of money for clubs, he said. “I loved to play golf,” Roy said. “Like everybody else, when you’re young, you don’t have any money. You want to buy clubs, and you can’t afford them.” He said he would get used clubs or make his own by putting together different parts. Roy now repairs and sells new clubs at his shop. “I’m what you call a master clubmaker,” he said. “Somebody breaks a golf club or needs new grips or new whatever, I do that all the time.” Roy said he makes 30-minute appointments for both sides of his shop. On the hair side, he said he offers
more than a hair cut. “I offer 30 minutes-worth of camaraderie,” Roy said. “I make you feel good. I make you come out of here as a new person. The smallest thing you get is a haircut.” He said many of his customers are his friends, so it is easy to make the time pass. “For me being here for almost 50 years, 90 percent of customers are my friends, and if they’re not my friends, they don’t come back,” Roy said. “We pass the day, and we brighten people’s day up and make you feel better.” He said he likes to keep the heritage of barbershops around and has lined the walls with golf clubs, hair products and antiques. Glass bottles of old hair products more than 40 years old sit on top of book selves and cabinets around the small shop. “Those are old bottles that are gone,” Roy said. “Nobody uses them anymore. They’re part of the old barber stuff that you had.” One of the bottles is filled with green liquid labeled “Robin Hood Hair Tonic” and was “for hair that’s hard to control.” Roy said the old hair products probably have not been manufactured in more than 60 years. “Everything’s all plastic now, squeezey bottles,” he said. “Now the bottle would cost you more to reproduce that than the stuff inside them.” Roy also has an antique barbershop pole and a towel oven in his shop.

Concert to celebrate Women’s History and Awareness Month Award-winning singer-songwriter spans diverse genres By Rachel Biggs Staff Reporter Award-winning singer-songwriter Mieka Pauly will be coming to Eastern for a concert in celebration of Women’s History and Awareness Month Thursday. The concert will be a collaboration between the Doudna Fine Arts Center and the Women’s Studies Pro-
gram. Joe McLean, the director of the Women’s Resource Center, said Pauly is an artist who covers different aspects of music. “(Pauly) is a diverse singer-songwriter who really spans genres,” he said. “One moment she’s bare-bones with an acoustic guitar, and the next it’s a heavy groove with traces of electronic music.” Pauly has performed at other wellknown college institutions such as Pennsylvania State University and even locally in Bloomington. “Her songs take on a life of her in either style, pretty amazing,” McLean
said. “I’m reminded of female songwriters like Fiona Apple, who takes a similar bold, in-your-face approach to her music and lyrics.” Pauly is also a Harvard graduate, the first-ever winner of the Starbucks Emerging Artist Award in 2005 and Cosmopolitan magazine called her “Fun Fearless Female of The Year.” The concert is for all students, not just women, McLean said. “(It is also a) thank you to a community that has recently given a much larger voice to issues of gender violence, sexual assault and race,” he added.
