Dieterich's mullet: It fits him well

in courage. It takes a great deal of patience to grow the amount of hair needed for a mullet. Still, it takes even more patience to endure all of the inconveniences associated with long hair. But, let us, at home front, not forget the amount courage needed to wear a mullet. Sadly, the 80's biases, misunderstandings, and stereotypes surrounding this hairstyle continue right down to this very day. While some will be dissuaded from giving their follicles to the cause because of this, one Stedsman whose resolve never waived ever since arriving is Will Dieterich, Steds freshman from South Paris, Maine. Since day one, this South Parisian answered the call, and now, he and his mullet are at the front. Earlier, I was able to speak with a veteran mullet wearer and legend, Peter Molyneaux, but recently, I was able to speak with this youngling, asking him a few questions. 

StEd: What do you think the wearer of a mullet is communicating to world through his hair?

Dieterich: The wearer of a mullet is telling the world he is both confident and compassionate. He supports the kids, and he does it in style.

StEd: When you see “younglings” about campus with mullets, racing stripes, and skullets, what do you think?

Dieterich: Seeing fellow younglings around campus with mullets makes me think of how amazing our St Edward’s community is and how we all came together and worked- some of us for months- to get our hair ready for the cause.

StEd: Can a mullet really do anything against malaria?

Dieterich: The mullets may be the ultimate weapon against malaria. It has extraordinary fundraising powers, which helps charities battle malaria!

As our boys are fighting malaria, let's do our part in this battle and bring them and their hairstyles back to normal! To make a donation, click HERE!
