Clothes do not make people

To the Editor

With reference to the letter ("Men's Hoops team dresses poorly" Mar. 24) by Mr. Jerry Dumon of Traverse City, Michigan, and his comment concerning the UA basketball team's lack of class because of their casual attire, I have a comment. Clothes do not make the man or the woman. Values and ethics are more important than jackets and neckties.

The men of the team have showed their class and talent and it was earned by hard work and a winning attitude. If Mr. Dumon, a visitor to Tucson, prefers style to substance, I suggest he return home to Michigan and admire his necktie.
