There are clubs and organizations of all kinds in San Marcos. Just look around
and you're apt to find someone somewhere sharing your interests in something.
Take, for example, beards. That's right...beards. Erika Everett has more in
this Bobcat Update.

The group is the San Marcos Bearded Men's Club. All of its members appreciate --
facial hair. Will Parrish, a graduate student and one of the group's founding
members, says the Bearded Men's Club wants to be heard.
Soundbite
The Bearded Men's Club is not among those formally recognized by Texas State,
but most of its members are associated with the university, as current or former
students. The club holds meetings at Showdown Amusement Bar on the square and
the members even have an official handshake. Senior Maxfield Baker says he
wasn't aware of the organization, but now he's considering becoming a member.
Soundbite
(Stand up) Not all members have to have beards. Occasionally women and
non-bearded men attend the meetings as well. As long as you have an appreciation
for facial hair, you will be welcomed with open arms.
For Bobcat Update, I'm Erika Everett.
