A man with a...

Hair to work with: Patrick (center) and the Stedsmen

... mission and a mullet. Soon, Patrick Fischer, Steds sophomore and Mullets Against Malaria Commissioner, will have a mullet and direct Steds follicle power in the battle against malaria. But before the our boys head off to the front, I was able to catch up with this brave Arizonan and ask him about the impending showdown with our enemy.

St.Ed: For those who are new to Steds, what is Mullets Against Malaria?


Fischer: Mullets Against Malaria is Steds’ annual fundraiser with a goal of $10,000 donated for United to Beat Malaria.


St.Ed: How is Steds using mullets to stop malaria?


Fischer: Almost every Stedsman will get a mullet on January 28th. Despite looking fresh, it serves to spread awareness and express solidarity with the people affected by this cruel disease. 


St. Ed: As our commander in the fight, how are you rallying the men to offer their locks to this noble cause?


Fischer: To be honest, there is almost no convincing needed. This Steds community is so tight knit that the thought of sharing the same haircut for a common cause is exciting to everyone.


St. Ed: When you get your mop of hair styled, will it be a mullet, and if so, will it have a name?


Fischer: It will most definitely be a mullet, or the last two months of growing out the back will have been for nothing. Being from Phoenix, Arizona I have decided to name my mullet the Phoenician Flow.


St. Ed: Okay, maybe you can’t say, but do we have any secret weapons in this fight?


Fischer: No comment. Just know that the St Edward's network is very powerful.


St. Ed: How can others join you and brave boys, maybe not with a mullet, in this fight against malaria?


Fischer: #1 DONATE. Every dollar matters, with a life-saving net only costing $5. #2 SPREAD the word so that we can raise as much money and make as much of an impact as possible.


St. Ed: Good luck to you and the boys!
