I now suspect he hadn't under- stood a word I had said (my French is rather spotty), and would never have passed me if he had. Very few long-hairs ask to have their Moroccan entry stamps invalidated. While waiting for my English companions on the other side of the border, I noticed a grey Volkswagen with Danish license plates waiting on the Ceuta side. I later learned that the six inhabitants had been sitting there for over an hour trying to decide whether to submit to hair- cuts. They had driven the length of Europe to come to Morocco and only one of them finally relented to the scissors. The rest d r o v e back, pre- sumably to where they'd come from. Why do travelers with long hair go to such lengths to avoid haircuts? Some say its "the principle of the thing," which may actually be stub- borness, pride or rebellion. Another is the very practical fact that a good head of hair often takes months and years to grow, and many don't consider a few days in any country worth the sacrifice. But the most important reason seems to be the extent to which long hair has become a unifying factor, a symbol of identity, to youthful travelers all over the world. Long-hairs soon learn that. they can usually depend on each other when they're on the road or need a place to sleep or eat, and although their appearance undoubtedly costs some rides while hitchhiking, it invariably leads to others. Long hair is not always a good clue to beliefs or character and it may or may not mean the person digs drugs, but it generally indi- cates a certain life-style different from those who travel first class and who might not appreciate the beauties of crashing on a beach or having a drink with the locals instead of in the Hilton bar. The rub What does Morocco hope to gain from its crackdown on hair? Most of the victims, both American and European, seem convinced that the United States government is behind it, hoping it will decrease the drug traffic to the States. America has volunteered notably little help to any of its citizens involved in a drug case in a foreign country. In Spain and Morocco alone several hundred Americans are now serving long prison terms on drug charges, and conditions in both countries' jails are often abominable. And though Morocco is busy arresting Americans and Europeans for possession of hashish and kif, its own citizens smoke them openly, I saw both drugs smoked in sidewalk cafes, even on sidewalks, by Moroccans in Tangier and Marrakech, with no apparent fear of the police. And I have seen long-haired Americans arrested and jailed merely on "suspicion" of possession - that is, because they had long hair. Morocco's drug crackdown seems aimed almost entirely at "undesirable" foreigners, and not its own citizens - who apparently use drugs as cas- ually as Americans drinkalcohol in our culture. But the long-hairs also have their methods of retribution. As one sheared man said at the border: "I sure fooled them. They may not know it, but with short hair I can smoke just as much dope as I could with long. In fact, in memory of my hair, I plan to smoke twice as much." - JJ J If You're Looking for the Widest Selection of *Hardcover -Books " Paperbacks .
