 In 1955, "good grooming" was a requirement that consisted, in part, of students exhibiting "no missing buttons, run-down heels, unbrushed clothes, unpolished shoes, neglected nails, or straggling coiffure".When attending classes in 1963, male students were required to wear sports wear or dress suits while their female counterparts had to dress in sports wear or tailored clothes.Nonetheless, an "East Texan" student newspaper survey conducted in the early 1960s found that female students "overwhelmingly approved of the...regulations which governed their dress and behavior".
