## How later opinions describe it (automated extraction)

- holding that at the college level, unlike the high school level, an adult's constitutional right to wear his hair as he chooses supersedes the state’s right to intrude by imposing an "appearance code” on would-be junior college students
- holding that at the college level such interests are not sufficient to warrant a similar intrusion on the liberty interests of college students
