This will put more focus on the business at hand...education. Therefore I believe that when a student is attending classes, he/she should be dressed appropriately...no do-rags, scarfs, hats, pajamas, slippers, stripper clothes etc. in the lecture hall. But when someone is on their own free time they should be able to dress how they wish.

When I was in school my freshman/soph year 89-90 it seemed that Mon/Wed/Fri was the unofficial dress up days. The Jrs/Srs wore shirts with ties, skirts or dress slacks, all had a coach briefcases and not too many backpacks etc. They looked like they were stepping off the campus and into the real world. You felt out of place if you were bummy on those days. Tues/Thurs were lab days mainly and not too many folks had a full day of classes so it wasn't as much. But it was nice to see college kids of all economic backgrounds try to care about their apperance w/o administration telling them to do so.
