We’re talking about college students, right? Besides sweats what else do they were other than jeans?
“Why not an extensive comprehensive legalistic wardrobe list?
Did you ever think such a list just isn’t needed?
“Why stop at adults on campus?”
Maybe because that was the issue?
“Why not force Mormon adults to adhere to comprehensive wardrobe policies where they meet for worship?”
Force? They can’t force anyone to do anything. They have no police force or army (not any more, at least). I bet most Mormon congregations have a written or strongly recognized but unwritten dress code.
A written dress code? Where? What does it say?
If it's unwritten. So what? An unwritten policy can't be legalistically forced. See my post #27 where I said informal discouragements are fine on LOTS of things; including wardrobe choices.
I think what is being lost here Vlad is that it goes beyond "just a dress code" and into part of the legalistic requirements for exaltaton. President Spencer W. Kimball stated, "I am positive that personal grooming and cleanliness, as well as the clothes we wear, can be tremendous factors in the standards we set and follow on the pathway to immortality and eternal life"
Secondly, the 'dress code' is manipulated as a tool of member control. Consider - Jesus wouldn't be allowed to even serve the mormon version of communion in today's mormon services - because of his grooming.
