As an alum of Marquette one of the things that I remember the most is how we were mandated to have our shirts tucked in during school hours. Recently, I was made aware that this rule does not exist anymore at the school. I decided that this is something, for some reason I care about and wanted to let the school board and administration know about. I have decided to start an online petition that will be submitted to the school with hopefully 1,000 alums who support the reinstatement of the tuck rule.

I will leave it up to the current administration on how to reimplement and enforce this rule as they see fit. I would also like everyone to know that this is not going to turn into a political action committee that wants everything changed into their ideal rules for Marquette. This is a petition soley to bring back the rule that many of us were forced to abide by. Hopefully together we as a community can bring back something that in some tiny way might make a difference in the men and women who attend our beloved Marquette.

Please share this via facebook, twitter or word of mouth with any alum that might be interested in our cause.

Go Explorers!

Sincerely,

Justin Siemer

Class of '99

I have been reading your messages about how much these small school traditions meant to you during your time at Marquette. It is truly humbling to see that a simple idea from my desk moved so many of you to reconnect and share your memories.

I truly did not anticipate this much momentum when I started this conversation. Seeing so many familiar faces from my time at Marquette join in is entirely due to your passion and I am just humbled to be a part of it.

This is about professional presentation. I laugh as I see names on this list that the big UN tuckers now asking for it to be reinstated. It shows how this small act helped shape them as adults.

I remember getting detentions for untucked shirts. It taught us to respect the dress code. Seriously disappointed they let this slide.

Tradition matters. If we lose the small rules the school loses its identity. Go Explorers.

Hard to believe this is even a debate. It takes two seconds to tuck a shirt and you look like you actually go to a serious school.

It was for discipline. Looks like a bunch of slobs walking around campus now. Bring it back.
