The argument that was presented previously I would like to challenge it. First off, what is the solution to the balding epidemic? Perhaps there could be a question on the application to get in to BYU about the state of your hair, or on the list of questions for the ecclesiastical endorsements.
Lastly, Is this really a problem with the school as a whole? Or just with one person. If a poll of the student body was taken then maybe we could know a little bit better about how the students really feel about this topic, rather than just one persons opinion.

What do I dislike about BYU?- BALDING!
(What do I dislike about Brigham Young University? Firstly, when reading the topic I thought that this was supposed to get us to think about something we are passionate about... thus resulting in an opinion essay topic. BUT, what I dislike is not something that I want to write about in my Op essay.)
This being my 4Th semester here at BYU, I have discovered that what I dislike the most would be the balding revolution that the majority of RM's have decided to participate in. Now I know that most of them didn't necessarily CHOOSE to participate in this... but still... is it too much to ask that I have at least 5 prospects who can avoid the 3 inch across widows peak? I can only imagine how those who are becoming sparse up there feel, wearing hats all the time, but put yourself in MY shoes for a second! My father has a full head of hair at almost 60, so I expect nothing less from someone I am dating. This has become such an issue that my roommates and I have come up with "balding types"; they are as followed.
TYPE 1. when the hairline recedes in a headband manner. (evenly from front to back... as if you were to put on a headband and shave off all of the hair from ear to ear in front of it.)
TYPE 2. when there are 2 receding peaks going into the hair line on either side of the head... resulting in a larger than life widows peak.)
TYPE 3. there is a reason Jewish men wear yamikas... to hide their bald spot!
TYPE 4. self-induced balding. (when someone shaves their head etc.)
TYPE 5. sporadic balding. (balding in random areas... this is the most uncommon but also the most tragic when spotted)
TYPE 6. balding from the bottom up (slightly like self-induced- but really when there is such a close shave from their neckline up with longer hair on top that it looks as if they are balding from... well the bottom up)
Ultimately, I argue that balding men is not only what I dislike about BYU, but is becoming a SERIOUS problem that tithing money will NOT be able to fix.
Sincerely, H*
