Moral crisis in higher institutions and the dress code phenomenon
This article reviewed the case of indecent dressing among the youth of today especially on the universities campuses, which has forced the authorities of those institutions to enact dress codes to stem the tide and restore high moral standards, integrity and decency. Whether this bid was successful or not was another thing which was a function of many factors namely: (1) absence of procedural and legal structures for enforcement and sanctions; (2) weak moral backgrounds from home; (3) lip-service paid to the issue of dress code by the authorities; (4) negative influence of foreign cultures through the moral pollution of the mass media; and (5) the corrupt nature of the society iner-alia. In the view of the fact that this phenomenon portends serious danger to 
realizing the sincere goals of training reliable, decent-minded, well mannered workforce and leaders for the future, the study recommended that: (1) all hands be put on deck by all the stake holders within and outside campuses to stem the dangerous tide; (2) well designed structures be laid down for enforcing the rules and penalizing 
non-compliance; and (3) regular counselling programmes be mounted all over the campuses and in the communities utilizing agencies like the parents, the teachers, the religious bodies and the media most especially.
Progressive Retrogression: Science, Technology, Dress Sense and Fashion Taste amongst Polytechnic Students in Ghana
Background: The dressing or fashion style of tertiary students has become an important issue of much concern in this contemporary era amidst technological advancement. This study examines polytechnic students perspective on the effect science and technology has on dress sense and fashion taste. Methods: The design was a cross-sectional non-experimental survey of 102 polytechnic students between the ages of 15 - 29 years with ample knowledge on dress sense. The sample consisted of 40 male (39.2%) and 62 female (60.8%) students who were enrolled by using a multistage cluster sampling technique according to departments and academic levels. Results: The study found that there was an association between science and technology influence and dress sense (53.7% approval vs. 46.7% disapproval), however this was not statistically significance [x2 = 0.21, p ≤ 0.005]. Again the relationship between the future influence of science and technology on the dress sense of students was examined using Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient since the two variables of interest were measured at continuous and categorical levels. The study identified a very weak negative correlation between the future influence of science and technology on dress sense and how better students dress will be than now [ρ = -0.2, n = 102, p < 0.05]. Conclusion: The study identifies that there is a very weak relationship between the influence of science and technology on the dress sense of students; however this relationship is not statistically significant.
