	When I worked as a secretary (for one year, at Syracuse University),
there was *no* dress code specified for me.  The office was rather casual
(Student Government Association).  For the first few weeks, I wore shirt,
tie, slacks, etc.  After a while, the tie got dropped from the apparel
collection with no complaints.  During my last weeks on the job, jeans
and t-shirts/sweatshirts/jerseys worked just fine.  I wonder if a woman
in the same job could have gotten away with this sort of stuff.

	Oh, yeah; the fact that I was physically larger than my male
boss had *nothing* to do with it.  :-)
