quick question about clothing. I was reading through the university catalog and saw that the school specifically said that you cannot wear thongs. I frankly only wear thongs. Why is that stated. I mean even if you did wear them how would they know or even better what would they do, kick u out of school!

[Jeep23Guy]

thongs = flip flops

As far as underwear goes...as long as you wear pants, I'm sure they wouldn't care if you wore any underwear at all.

:lol: ummm...
yeah, they do this thing where administration can walk up behind at any time and yank your pants down around your ankles. If you are wearing *that* kind of thong, then you're out baby, expelled! 8)

I've heard that they frown on briefs, also. Boxers are preferred. They must be white, and have a logo no larger than 1/2" on them. Your mother must write your name in the waistband with a permanent marker before you arrive. :D

I can't believe I overlooked this post until now, as the rather innocent confusion made me simultaneously laugh and cover my mouth with both hands in unbelievability :P! I second "ed gee's" request to put this thread in SMU's hall of fame (in a good, clean fun kind of way). With respect to the boxers vs. briefs comment, I just experienced my first seemingly senior-ish fight for bladder control. Too, too funny... :o

Male students may wear "boxer-briefs" such as those manufactured by Fruit of the Loom or Hanes in the event that you have a note from your dermatoligist stating that they are necessary to prevent inner-thigh chafing, or other medical conditions.

All undergarments must be white. Stripes, poka-dots, hearts, smiley faces, skidmarks, liquor advertisements and solid colors other than white remain unacceptable, except in cases of religious observance. Lace is acceptable.

The following undergarment is an example of the type acceptable at St. Matthew's University:

Just because I have already gotten a phone call about it-

THERE IS NO UNDERWEAR PROVISION IN THE SMU DRESS CODE.

And to head wolfvgang off at the pass, that does not mean that SMU is telling you not to wear underwear.

I think Dr. Green put it very well with this;

One of the most important aspects of a "profession" is that it is self-regulating. With our move to Maine we have had a number of challenges and have been exceedingly grateful that our students have stuck with us. In Cayman we had a dress code, but felt that suggesting students wear short-sleeve shirts and shorts to our South Portland campus in the middle of the winter would meet with some objections. Furthermore, it was an opportunity to put the onus for professional dress on the students.

Our current "policy" is that we are asking students to dress appropriately, in keeping with what they might wear to their offices when they start a practice. This has been followed somewhat and has met with mild opposition both by those wanting to wear sweat pants all the time and those on the other side who feel jackets and ties are more appropriate. Unfortunately, some students are still choosing to come to school in attire that by most standards would not be appropriate for an office. Hence, we will have to resort to some more formal dress code policy. I say this reluctantly, as I would far prefer our students, having entered into a profession regulate themselves.

In any event, that is the long answer to the initial question. The short answer is sleeves or no sleeves is not the concern, but rather the general impression. There is currently no restriction on short-sleeved shirts but we only ask that they be tasteful.

On final comment for those of you intent on showing off various parts of your body through your choice in clothing. Medicine, when best practiced is a profession of humility where the physician puts his/her patients interests before his/her own. Wearing provocative clothing, to me, is a method of drawing attention to ourselves which does not seem to be inkeeping with our pursuit of humility.

Just my thoughts, for the record.

Regards

in all seriousness, i believe that smu's dress code is evidence of their integrity. I personally do believe doctors need to dress the professional part. As buisness individuals are required to wear suits and ties for their clients in order to promote professionalism, I do believe a doctor needs to do the same. And I personally will follow the boxer-brief guidelines to the tee. :D just kidding about that.

[rossj2180]

Thank you for bringing a laugh, "wolfvgang22"- you are a riot :P ! Actually, those pantaloons are kind of cute... :wink:

[mo5225md]
