When I was in Jr. High School, the dress code required girls to wear either dresses or skirts. Slacks and shorts were not tolerated. I often wondered why the administration thought it so necessary that the girls occasionally show their underpants (the natural result of dressing in such a manner). Mind you, I certainly was not complaining. However, I DID notice the inconsistancy of the administration's position. In most other decisions they seemed quite puritanical. Frank Silbermann
