  New Cottonian Dress Code
The Cotton College Students' Union has reportedly issued a strict ''Code of Conduct'' to instil discipline and decency among the students of the college. The code of conduct has made 75 per cent attendance in classes mandatory, as also formal trousers with shirts or T-shirts for boys and salwar-kameez with a dupatta or sari or mekhela-chador for girls. 
There is no gainsaying the fact the dress code is meant for enforcing strict discipline and decency among the students. Students have also been prohibited from gossiping and loitering in the college campus and from talking over cell phones. This apart, they have to primarily display their identity cards by wearing them around their neck. The general secretary of the college union said that the queries on the part of the students about the new code of conduct was natural. He said that the college authorities and the union were trying their best to address students' queries and clear their doubts. He appealed to all students to adhere to the new code of conduct to maintain order and decency within the college campus only. He also appealed to the senior students to maintain order in the college campus and set an example to their juniors. No incident of ragging would be allowed within the college campus or in college hostels on the first day. 
The intention of the union when it comes to the new dress code in the premier college, is perfectly in order. But the question is: Will it not prompt someone to challenge the dress code on the grounds of human rights? Who knows!
