Livengood: we can do better

	Summer ended a couple of weeks ago, and the default trend of tossing on a pair of flip-flops and cruising to class will soon be out of season. So forget about those lingering mid-term exams. The crucial issue is what to wear while walking around campus. More importantly, what will students wear once the winter of our discontent finally arrives?
