At Sweet Briar (a touch north of Radford) in '66 you could wear jodhpurs to class if your riding class butted up to one of your other classes, but we could wear jeans when not in class (the theatre prof let us techie types wear them to class in the theatre).

We were allowed to have slacks (not denim) but could only wear them outside the dorm with a knee-length coat freshman year.? I was in the band and we were getting ready for? Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.? Band was scheduled as an 8am class, but we were actually starting at 7:30 most days to get in the extra practice.? By mid-November it was cold!?? The only time we could wear slacks to class was if the Dean declared it a "slacks day" and she didn't announce that until about 8am!? Oh, by the way, our uniform was full Scottish regalia - kilt and all. ? Sophmore year the rule was changed to letting us wear slacks and by senior year we were in jeans.? (The summer after I graduated the school went co-ed.)?

This doesn't happen that often in Corpus Christi, TX - but by golly that sea wind is blessed COLD at 33degrees... In my 9th grade year('68), most of the girls staged a pants-wearing "sit in". Didn't work, but there were too many of us to send home to change.
