Short haircuts grow in popularity
By MIKE FITZGERALD

The shoulder-length hair worn by students during the late 1960s and early 1970s was disappearing. According to several University of Kansas students and two barbers.
Long story-
Floor fund excess to go to recreation
Student funds totaling $45,000, which were left over from the cost of resurfacing the Allen Field House floor, will be used for the construction of recreational facilities.
Reserves.
The decision to use the money recreational facilities was reached Wednesday in a meeting of Chancellor Archi R Dykes; Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor; Clyde Walker, athletic director, and John Beister, student body, president.
According to Beiser, the university committee of the Student Senate will begin looking into the recreational areas that most need the money. He suggested that the funds could be used toward more tennis courts, construction and improvement of football and other fields and the addition of lights for the football field.
Beisner also said part of the $45,000 could be used to improve the University intramural program, which he termed "Kansas football" when compared with other Kansas schools.
Walker said he was satisfied with the agreement.
"The issue was resolved, but to me there never was an issue," he said.
Long hair styles are being replaced by styles of shorter lengths.
Initially, the Senate agreed to pay 10 percent of the total cost of resurfacing the field house. The estimate cost was $300,000 and all of the student funds were earmarked for the field house. The final cost was $225,000, so that the Senate paid only $135,000, which left $45,000.
Any further improvements to the field will be financed by funds raised by the United Nations.
Rocky Browning, owner of Gentlemen's Quarters, 844 Illinois St., said yesterday that he had been a patient of the shorter and neater haircuts. He said that there were still a lot of long hair styles, but that people were taking better care of their hair and not concerned by its condition and appearance.
Browning he hoped the trend wouldn't go too far.
"I hope it doesn't go all the way back to the really short hair," he said. "I never cared for short hair. You can't do anything with it."
Joe Lesch, owner of the Malls Barber Shop. 711 West 3rd St., said he a trick toward moderate length hair but not toward short haircuts.
"I think the reason for the shorter haircuts is just that they're easier to care for," he said. "We've noticed it here and we've learned that we can better courses we sometimes take on weekends."
Although shorter hair is easier care for, such said, there is one overriding reason why it should not be done.
"Warren control it," he said. "They just
them how they like it and how the
things work."
"It's our secret - big percentage of our customers come in and tell us so."
Mike Browne, Clay Center senior, who wears his hair short (just over his ears and short in back) said he wore his hair short because it was more comfortable. He said he was going bald anyway and was just speeding up the process.
Browne described himself as a liberal and said he wasn't worried about being mistaken for a stereotype conservative because of his shorter hair.
"I'm not worried at all," he said. "It
alms me to infiltrate the conservative
vote."
Greg Bashaw, Chicago junior, said he liked his shoulder-length hair and kept it that way because he thought he looked better.
"To me it still means something," he
huffs. The trend is now that it doesn't mean anything.
"I don't mind being tagged as a liberal, though it's becoming less valid. Straight people are wearing their hair longer and others shorter, so it means less."
Tom McNish, Clay Center special student, said he was one of those students who had long hair but changed styles, although involuntarily.
"I took off my glasses and told her (the barber) to trim it—about one-half inch" he said. "I looked up later and she said, 'I don't see how you stood that long hair. Now I have much shorter hair. I was shocked and naked felt on a week."
