San Diego State ''suggests" s11nplicity and dignity in dre , but last year the stu- dents had a "miniest mini- dress" contest. Girls may wear shorts and capris on campus; in fact, the only hard-and-fast rule seems to be that bare feet are not allowed in dining areas. "Absolutely no guide lines" in women's fasluons are sug- gested at UCSD.

SAN DIEGO, Calif. - The University of San Diego now has a single telephone number. The unified system for the USO undergraduate

colleges and School of Law replaces individual numbers for the various departments of the university. The master switchboard will now handle all mcommg calls to the university. Tbe new number is 291-6480. Extensions will serve the various offices and departments. The unification of telephone service is another step in the unification which is uniting the schools at the academic level and creating a joint administration of the coor- dinate colleges, with the Very Rev. John E. Baer as coor- dinator of unification.
