Therefore, although the University affirms each student's right to determine his conduct within the limits of civil and criminal law, and the Christian ethic, the University of San Diego has also estab­ lished basic principles of conduct which pertain to its students in the university community. Off-Campus Conduct The USD student is expected to act in accordance with the law. When a student attends a University-sponsored activity off-campus, he shall also act in accord with specific University regulation for that activity. Infractions of these regulations will be penalized by the Uni­ versity disciplinary system. Conduct at the University-recognized act­ ivities which occur off-campus, e.g., fraternity parties, is controlled by the University-recognized agent, and infractions are dealt with by their own authorities. On-Campus Conduct 1. Personal Appearance and Dress: Personal styles of dress and hair shall be left to the discretion of the individual student; however, students are expected to adhere to acceptable standards of neat­ ness and cleanliness. Shoes should be worn in all buildings on campus. 2. Areas of Communal Use: Where special regulations are necessary, they will be posted. 3. Smoking: Smoking is allowed in all areas of the campus except in the classrooms, the theater, CW residence halls, the College for Women library, and where otherwise posted. 4. Right of Demonstration and Assembly: The University of San Di­ ego respects the right of students to assemble and to demonstrate, so long as the educational functioning of the University is not impaired and there is no damage to persons or property. *5.
