BYU Idaho bans skinny jeans.

[wuapinmon]

My fashion is more modest than the big girls who squeeze themselves into itty bitty boot cut jeans.

Just one more reason why I don't want my daughters to go to BYU-I. I shared this story with my wife yesterday and she said she'd rather our daughters go to a Catholic school.

Must be all that cameltoe is causing the fine young men up there to become raging hormones on legs... That and the "defining" purse straps... I bet its like a veritable peep show up there with skinny jeans and purse straps.

sorry--put down the Jergens- the purse straps between the titties ban was a BYU thing, not BYU-I.

I think it's great-- one more shot across the bow to stifle the irritating plague of Rexburg wanna-be Emo kids infiltrating the campus.

Lol. No it wasn't. It was a famous letter to the editor.

I don't know Pell, what if they catch Catholic guilt?

was it? Well it was Daily Universe then, not the Scroll in any case...

It's probably better for them in the long run. In my experience Catholic guilt is associated with actual sins. None of this "avoid the appearance of evil" garbage.

I know, I was there during the whole thing, that and tortilla-gate. It was a letter to the editor by some self-righteous little prick. I think I got in a response to it as well, basically telling the guy that the problem was his, not the purse straps or the women who used a purse.

There was a similar letter in the Scroll from a guy who couldn't help himself when he saw girls' butt cracks. Truly high comedy. It's darn near adorable.

So I cannot tell from the article whether this ban is administration based or student based. I really find it hard to believe that Clark would not have more important things to worry about than skinny jeans. I have to believe this decision comes from an over zealous student committee or some lower level admin who enjoys the power she has.

PS. I assume that the Henry Eyring in the article is related to the one in the First Presidency.

Kim Clark's name has been bounced around as a candidate for the president's job at Utah. This doesn't seem helpful to that effort.

[RC Vikings]

It's ridiculous up there. When Clark took over I was hoping he would bring a more moderate voice up there. He's been gone having a kidney transplant and I'm sure one of the VP's stuck this in. At one time I thought that when the old guard retired that it would mellow out up there but they keep replacing the old dicks with young dicks.

[Pheidippides]

I'm still mad at the stupid bits of the honor code, and I only had to deal
with the Provo version. My senior year was the year they started the "Goldilocks and the Three Bares" campaign, which annoyed me to no end. I mean, I could have given them names of a score of people who were doing the horizontal lambada before nuptials, trolling Utah Lake for really big and gay fish, or who were married but doing something other than working in the missionary way, and this is what has them up in arms? You've already taken away all the fun of working out by requiring women to wear perhaps the least sexy outfit ever; now you're going to deny us all the brief glimpses of lower back, and some of the few nationwide to be unadorned with an obnoxious tramp stamp?

Needless to say, my friends, I walked across the grass as much as I could that year to prove that some cougars do, in fact, cut corners. And the next year I was in NYC for Halloween, so it turned out okay in the end.

[Green Monstah]

They are so nasty, I'm glad. They don't look good. On anyone. Ever.

When I was there, the debate circled around capris and the hip-hugging blue jeans made popular in the early 2000s. Bednar even said in a devotional, "I've had the misfortune of seeing far too many young ladies' "second cleavage"" around campus.
