BYU student Frank Edmunds satirizes BYU beard policy in Daily Universe.
Frank Edmunds, "Ode to Standards," Daily Universe, March 27, 1985, 22
An Ode to Standards/Were it possible to Brigham Young/to visit this university/His namesake to see/Would Brigham have to shave his beard and trim his hair, . . . or just how would he fare? Or, if George Albert Smith were to attend a game/(in the Fieldhouse bearing his name), Would he have to do the same?/Could Joseph F. Smith audit a class/Or would he have to wear a mask to make it past? (Would they force Karl G. Maeser to use the razor?) Ah! But, "Standards" today are the general tenor, So let's name a building after Yul Brynner.
