FRESHMEN ARE WEARING HAIR LONGER SAY LOCAL BARBERS

"The Freshmen are letting their hair grow" was the consensus of the barbershopmen of the Square when interviewed yesterday.

"Crew cuts are gradually going out" said one man, a trimmer of Harvard heads for 20 years. "About seven years ago the boys began to wear their hair for comfort instead of looks. But the girls are beginning to put the pressure on the crew cuts now. The boys who do let their hair grow have it cut only about once a month."

The House plan was blamed for lessening the students' clothes consciousness. Some barbers complained that the boys spent all their money on their cars leaving themselves no pocket money for haircuts or shaves.
