Today its commonplace to see a young lady standing behind the chair. (SUNfoto by Dave Tinker) by Sen. Edward M. Kennedy and joined by vice presidential nominee Thomas F. Eagleton and defeated presidential rivals, stepped to the rostrum of a tumultuous, jammed Convention Hall to accept his partys nomination.

The victorious nominee had only a few hours to rest up after his triumph appearances before a unity breakfast for the partys House and Senate Campaign committees and a Democratic fund-raising group were scheduled before he re MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) -Democratic presidential nominee George McGovern, vowing to lead a people's campaign, urged wildly cheering Democrats today to put behind "our fury and our frustrations and unite to capture the White House from President Nixon. And the South Dakota senator appealed for help from every Democrat and every Republican and independent who wants America to be the great and good land it can be. It was nearly 3 a.m. when the beaming McGovern, introduced Terry Sanford lifted high the hands of the 49-year-old nominee and his 42 -year-old running mate from Missouri.

Reviewing the way his campaign swept aside the estab-lished political leadership, McGovern said he would dedicate his White House campaign to the people, declared that next January he would restore government to their hands and added: American politics will never be the same again. With some labor leaders still determined to sit out the cam- turned to Washington later today. McGovern also had to decide on a new chairman for the Democratic National Committee, which holds a morning organizational meeting. While he has pressed Chairman Lawrence F. OBrien to stay on, informed sources said he would ask Jean Westwood, the Utah national committeewoman, to take the job if OBrien declines.

Waves of applause rocked the hall as Hubert H. Humphrey, Edmund S. Muskie, Henry M. Jackson, Shirley Chisholm and Haircut Gals Enter Mans Domain What's Connolly's Job? SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. (AP) Former Treasury Secretary John B.

Connally has arrived in Southern California for a conference today with President Nixon. Connally, until recently the only Democrat inNixons Cabinet, just completed a 35 day, 15 nation trip around the world for the President, who has promised the mission would be followed by an important new as-signment for the silver-haired Texan. Asked if the new assignment would be announced today, press secretary Ronald L. Ziegler said, "It has not been decided. There has been speculation for more than a year that, should Nixon decide to replace Vice President Spiro T.

Agnew as his 1972 running mate, he might turn to Connally. The former Treasury chief has expressed disinterest in the job but has never said flatly no he would not accept. Another globe circling traveler, Secretary of State William P. Rogers, will be at the Western White House on Saturday to report to Nixon on a 19-day journey to 10 countries. Ziegler reported that the President and Mrs.

Nixon watched final Democratic convention proceedings on television Thursday night. However, the press secretary kept mum about Nixons reaction to the nomination of Sen. George paign and other delegates grumbling about the ways in which his operatives dominated the convention, McGovern forecast the battle against Richard Nixon would bring the party together in common cause this fall. He is the unwitting unifier and the fundamental issue of this national campaign, McGovern said, adding that "all of us together are going to help him redeem a pledge he made 10 years ago: that next year you wont have Richard Nixon to kick around any more. Even delegates who supported the absent Gov.

George C. Wallace joined the ovation when McGovern vowed to wage a national campaign and said, We are not conceding a single state to Richard Nixon. Earlier in the long evening, the convention ratified McGovern's choice of Eagleton as the No. 2 man on the 1972 Democratic ticket. But it took a one-hour, 20-minute roll call that saw votes cast for candidates ranging from television commentator Roger Mudd, to TV character Archie Bunker, to the senators wife, Eleanor.

McGovern chose the handsome, articulate, first-term Missouri senator, aborder-state Catholic with strong ties to labor, from a field of a half-dozen senators, governors and mayors. He was the senators second choice: Kennedy rejected an offer of the vice presidency shortly after McGovern swept to firs t-ballot nomination Wednesday night. As votes were checked, the defeated candidates most prominent among them being Texas state Rep. Frances T. Sissy Farenthold, Sen.

Mike Gravel of Alaska, and former Massachusetts Gov. Endicott Peabody trooped to the rostrum and declared support for Eagleton. The roll call was never finished. And in what seems likely to be his line of attack against the man he hopes to displace, Vice President Spiro T. Agnew, Eagleton pledged to restore the dignity of the vice presidency as an office whose oc-cupant must appeal to the highest, not the basest, motives of our fellow Americans.

After a while, she continued, some customers just automatically get Into my chair. There are probably many reasons for a gal picking out a bartering career. The most honest, however, probably was echoed by Clorinda Quiroz, who is a newcomer to the Held.

I like to be around guys and theyre easy to please, she said. In fact, she continued, most men wiU take a suggestion better than women and a lot of them like to have their hair cut by girls. But if you cant talk about the fights and the football or basebaU game, whats left? I get them to talk about work, said Mrs. Horner. "They get a chance to say what a rotten day it was.

I like them to go out feeling better and I try to steer clear of religion and politics. You always border on it, but I never tell a customer what I believe. Aw, heck. Go ahead and clip away. By Bill Heath Of The l)ail bl.

But. theres a girl behind the chair. All of the courage that has been mustered up to face the perils of having the curly locks trimmed somehow seems to vanish. Big men whimper like little children. Pass-ersby take a second look, thinking their glasses are foggy.

The reactions cover the whole spectrum. But in this day and age, when its tough to tell the girls from the boys from the standpoint of hair styles nothing is really surprising.
