While reviewing the scheduling for summer session, I ran across the following language in the class schedule grid, used by students to sign up for lab sections (this is just applicable to chemistry lab sections Ð what other departments to, I don't know):

 

ÒStudents must be prepared to participate on the first day of lab meeting with the mandatory dress requirements including:  approved laboratory coat, safety goggles, closed-toe, closed-heel shoes, and clothing that completely covers arms and legs.  Personal protective equipment may be pruchased at the UCD main bookstore.Ó

Please don't drag us back into the contact lens debate!  Contact lenses are safe to wear in lab, making sure proper safety eyewear is also worn.  If you need references (going back a decade or more), check the archives.

Birkett's hypothesis: "Any chemical reaction

can proceed violently in the presence of an idiot."
