ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) -- An all-male college in Atlanta, Georgia,
has banned the wearing of women's clothes, makeup, high heels and purses as part
of a new crackdown on what the institution calls inappropriate attire.

No dress-wearing is part of a larger dress code launched
this week that Morehouse College is calling its "Appropriate Attire Policy."

The policy also bans wearing hats in buildings, pajamas in public,
do-rags, sagging pants, sunglasses in class and walking barefoot on campus.

However, it is the ban on cross-dressing that has brought national
attention to the small historically African-American college.The dress-wearing
ban is aimed at a small part of the private college's 2,700-member student body,
said Dr. William Bynum, vice president for Student Services."We are talking
about five students who are living a gay lifestyle that is leading them to dress
a way we do not expect in Morehouse men," he said.
