So if a group of students got it started, why is there an attitude among some that it cannot be questioned by students?
Personally, I think the honor/dress code is a relic of the 50's. Teach correct principles and let the students conduct their lives in private like every other member of the church. Righteous living should be organic and done for the right reasons, not so that one can avoid getting booted out of school.

Students know before they come to BYU what the standards are. It's not like these rules were foisted upon them midstream.
