Opinion "Coats Not Necessary, Neither is Sloppiness"
Dublin Core
Title
Opinion "Coats Not Necessary, Neither is Sloppiness"
Subject
Description
This opinion piece written by an author “R.C.” expresses disappointment toward the sloppiness of Richmond College students in their dining hall. He claims that the unkempt dress of Richmond students does not honor the prestige of the University, nor the fact that the University of Richmond is one of 33 American Colleges to house an ROTC unit. Instead of wearing jackets and ties similar to other university requirements, Richmond students wear clothes “that might probably force one to comment ‘shades of Tobacco Road’ or some other unflattering remark.” The phrase "Tobacco Road" refers to any impoverished rural area, particularly in the South.
