The freedom of choosing one’s clothes is
one of the biggest perks in college. But the ‘irresponsible’ manner of some
students and the dictatorial behavior of authorities had irked collegians, the
issue of dress code prevails more in urban cities and less in rural areas.
Wherever a dress code associated with fashion is talked about, the thought of
Miranda College, LSR, Ferguson College comes in mind. A teenager goes to college
with education in mind, because he is, at that juncture of life, about to step
into a career. This is the most crucial stage of a teenager because he steps
into a New World with new desires, aspirations, aims and also a mood to enjoy
freedom. If he concentrates more on his studies, it will go a long way, which
will help him to settle down in his life. Hence minor distractions like dress
code should be kept away.
Proper Dress Code
We all have followed a very strict dress
code in our schools. We took pride to wear school uniforms and ensured that it
is always kept clean. Whenever our dress was not up to the mark our teachers
and prefects ticked us off. This ensured a certain amount of discipline in us
and this has always helped us to keep our uniform clean. Colleges are
absolutely justified in prescribing a dress code for students. Colleges, DU
colleges in particular, have become fashion hot-spots rather than centers of
learning. Students must realize that college years are the most crucial for
building a career. They should not be frittered away in non-serious pursuits
like following the latest fashion. Single-minded devotion to studies during
college is tough but is the surest way to achieve success in life. Fashion and
phones are distractions. Students are bound to be lured by them. It is for the
college authorities to put effective checks in place. In the long run students
will thank them for it. Every one cannot afford to wear new, expensive dress
every day. Hence a dress code ensures that children from weaker economic
backgrounds do not feel inferior. Moreover dress code brings about feeling of
oneness and unity among the students and bonding is built up.
No Dress code
A person has a right to wear dress,
which he or she likes or wishes to wear. Normally this issue gets blown out.
When girls start wearing provocation dresses in college. No wonder we often
near the principals of Girls College talking about the dress code. At St
Stephen, they do not have a prescribed dress code except for the dining room.
But there is a clear understanding of what one can and cannot wear. The issue is
not what one wears but how one wears it. A sari is one of the most modest
dress, yet it can perception of what college stand for. If they think it is not
a serious workplace there will be problems. There have been occasions when
girls wearing jeans or skirts have been denied admissions in the colleges or
even rusticated. The responsibility lies on both the child and the parents to
ensure to meet the standards of our culture and society. However, some freedom
must be given to the children once they enter the college. If they can be given
right to vote then they can be given the right to choose their desired dress
code. There is a famous saying “jab Beta ka Paer Bap ki Juutti me Aye Usae
Jyade Tokna nahi Chahiye”
Any Other Way
If a person is not wearing clothes that
suit the college environment, then he should be told that. But harsh behavior
would get no one anything. Girls should know the kind of outfits that are
decent enough to be worn in a co-educational college.
There has to be a middle path between decency
and fashion-consciousness. The right approach should be followed and students
should be patiently explained where they are going wrong, if they are following
the wrong track.
We need to maintain a balance in college
environment and need to ensure discipline and a desired atmosphere to conduct
proper education. At the same time a certain degree of freedom to the children
should be given. Hence it would be a reasonable idea to instruct children to
wear college dress, for two or three days a week and other days they can wear
dresses of their own choice. The college staff should keep a look out on
children wearing improper dresses, they should be politely apprised of this
fact. You are going to a temple of learning, not a fashion parade. Dress codes
are not needed. What is needed is a moral code.
