Doctrine and Conduct 139 We believe that for the sake of Christian testimony and the achievement of college purposes, we must abstain from the use of alco– holic beverages, tobacco and the non-medical use of narcotic drugs; and not participate in dancing, the use of playing cards, gambling, atten– dance at movie theaters, and membership in secret societies. We also bel~ve that Christians have an obligation to dress appropriately, to avoid wearing of extreme fashions and wearing of shorts in public (with the exception of participation in athletic contests), and to have sincere re– spect for the Lord's Day. We prayerfully seek to serve Christ in an atmos– phere free from personal attitudes of distrust, dishonesty, selfishness, damaging criticism, disrespect, unethical conduct and irreverence.
