PAGE FOUR Editorial Opinion Dress Code Attacked The arguments given by the dean of men's office for the rejection of a dress code that would have allowed men to wear bermuda shorts to all evening meals are illogical. . The new dress code, which was proposed by the Men’s Residence Hall Council, was called “unacceptable” by the dean of men’s office Monday; . ‘ , Raymond 0. Murphy, assistant dean of men, said since many "of the students living in the residence halls may move down town next year they must develop a respect for proper dress now. It seems to us that any person who has not learned respect for proper dress by the time he has reached college age cannot be taught this respect by an administration produced and enforced dress code. By rejecting the dress code, the dean’s office has illustrated once again its practice of double talk. In some situations it calls college students mature, self-dependent individuals and yet it lias said “no" to,a minonrequest by a responsible student governing body.’ The dean of men’s office also objected tq the code because it would set a double standard since coeds do not have permission to wear bermudas to evening meals except .on Sundays. . In order to nullify ihU argument, we. propose that AWS and MRC work together in drafting a dress code that will permit all residence hall dwellers to wear bermu das to .all meals. The f)aily Collegian strongly believes that students who desire to wear bermudas .or other .casual dress to evening meals should be permitted to do so. also strongly object to the dictatorial position that the dean of men's office has assumed in this matter. If AWS and MRC want to become more than pawns of the deans’ offices, they,will!have- to coordinate their efforts in all-community matters such and then fight with all their resources for their beliefs.
