>Here at AT&T (Bell Laboratories, what-have-you), male MTS's (engineers, to >those who don't follow the terminology) regularly wear t-shirts and jeans. >Female MTS's don't--to do so would risk being classified as a clerk or some >other position "below" MTS. ... Evelyn C. Leeper ...ihnp4!hocsj!ecl I am a male MTS at AT&T-BL. I think the above statement can be qualified a bit. From what I see some male MTS's wear t-shirts and jeans some of the time. Hardly anyone dresses that way all of the time. Most male MTS's wear collared shirts and slacks. In addition, I have seen female MTS's in t-shirts and jeans. It is a common joke that whenever anyone is up for promotion their dress style improves. I've seen this happen for both men and women. Jerome Scriptunas ...!ihnp4!hou2g!js3471

When I worked at IBM-Sterling Forest this summer past you could always pick out those striving for management positions by their three-piece suits ALL THE TIME!! The rest of us Joe-Blows wore shirt and tie. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Henry C.

JUDGE PREFERS LADY LAWYERS IN SKIRTS
Crown Pt, IN (UPI) -- Women lawyers wear the pants in Judge James L.
Clement's courtroom, if they like, even though he prefers them in
skirts.
The Superior Court judge issued a memo Tuesday telling Lake
County Prosecutor Jack A. Craawford , "It is my position that slacks
and/or pantsuits are inappropriate courtroom attire for women lawyers."
Crawford employs 21 women deputy prosecutors. He said they
unanimously reacted to the memo as being sexist and he decided to issue
no such directive to them.
A confrontation appeared to be brewing, with deputy prosecutor
Marleen Langfield determined to continue wearing her usual pantsuit on
the job Wednesday.
Instead, Clement backed down.
"It is not a court order or anything of the sort," the judge
said Wednesday. He earlier had said he might consider issuing an order
on the matter.
Langfield's garb may have prompted the memo. She had worked in
other courtrooms before this week, but first appeared before Clement
Monday.
Her wardrobe for court is mostly pantsuits, she said.
