formal room by applying a set of standards known as the label Trach area characterized. The most obvious of these is the dress code, of which Trinidad distinctive academic dress is the essential element for all men and women of the university. Apart from the use of dress, men are required to wear a jacket, collared shirt, slacks and tie, and the close-toed shoes.
