UHF TR CR At Wit's End: Ann Shear, Long Hair Requires Adjustments CMU Aide By ERMA BOMBECK Five years ago, if someone had told me I would be loaning a halr dryer to my son, I would have laughed until I got a stitch im my side. His hair always looked like an unmade bed. The wind parted it. Five fingers combed it. And when birds began to make a nest, we had it cut.

Then one day, all of that changed. The nation went "unhair" and my son went with it. It would be nice to report that by this time parents have become acclimated to long hair on their sons. They haven't. Everywhere I go, the first question is, "How long is your son's hair?" I regard the length of his hair as a graph to my parental control over him.

In June, 1971, I used the heavyhanded parental approach. I told him I did not go through 18 hours of labor to give birth to a prehistoric Cro-Magnon. He compromised by having the wave the scissors over his sideburns. In September, 1971, I used the humiliation route by telling him he looked like Prince Valiant with a $2 permanent wave. He was flattered and borrowed my setting lotion.

January, 1972, was the year of the direct approach. I sat him down and asked him point-blank what he was trying to achieve. He said his long hair stood for his individuality. I asked him to get his individuality trimmed as it was falling into his chili. He declined but said he would keep it out of his eyes, which produced an affliction whereby he would snap his neck and for a brief moment you had a clear view of an eyeball.

In March, 1972, I decided to compromise. If he would get a haircut, I would let him in the house, reinstate him in the will, and let him put a yellow bug light in his reading lamp. He refused. This month, I conceded defeat. I told myself that I had seen boys with longer hair.

(Or were they girls?) I told myself that there were worse things than having a son with long hair, like having a tooth grow through your ear, or an 18-year-old who wasn't toilet trained. I told myself I generation and they wear Mickey Mouse myself that it was a bald as a Marine snapped his neck so would have to get with it as this is a new must set their own style. After all, didn't I hair ribbons? I was in the middle of telling fad and that in a few years he would be as sergeant, when he went by the door and that I could see he was conscious.
