Let’s be honest about this: It’s that time of year when a young man or young woman’s thoughts turn to skimpier clothing and naked toes.

Unfortunately, there is no quicker way to shoot yourself in the foot as a student journalist than to look like a student journalist.

So please look at the dress code in the syllabus, and remember: No flip-flops, no short-shorts, no stringy and revealing tops, no T-shirts with organization/team names. Etc.

And if you think you’ve got it bad, you should take a look at the KOMU dress code.
