In spring 1980 College of Veterinary Medicine students made public their dissatisfaction with a dress code voted by the faculty to take effect in fall 1979 in clinics, laboratories, and classrooms. The dress code banned blue jeans, bib-front overalls, sandals, and flip-flops, and tennis shoes and T-shirts were also frowned upon. Assistant Dean William Grau responded to reports and editorials in the student newspaper that most of the 213 students enrolled in the college have accepted the code and that the few students opposed to the code have been vocal, making the code an “inflamed issue.” Four students reported in the Daily Beacon that two weeks before the end of the winter quarter, they had been academically penalized because of what an instructor labeled as “inappropriate attire.” The instructor gave out the quiz, it was taken, and when the graded quizzes were returned, the four students were informed that their quiz grades did not count because of their attire—the professor counted them absent. A second professor also deducted points for lack of proper attire. The students were later given the points that had been subtracted. In July the dress code and issue of subjective grading were reconsidered by the faculty and clarified.
