The evening's entertainment, including music by Booker Tee and the M.G.'s, a nationally-known recording group, is free to all seniors.
The event promoting this change in dress is the Senior Fall Party at 8 p.m. Nov. 24 at the Tee Pee.
Dress for the party is coat and tie.
Mike Stevens, Hutchinson senior and publicity chairman for the party, said he thought the party would be exclusively for seniors.

THIS YEAR THE public relations staff is trying to build up national recognition for the Revue, Henry said.
"We hope to get coverage from regional papers and national magazines," he said. He added that national coverage can't be expected before next year, since the staff has just started a public relations campaign.
Caston said he expects the 1965 Rock Chalk Revue to be the best show since it was first produced in 1950.
"We feel that the Revue deserves recognition," he said, since it is one of the first college shows of this type."
"We're doing everything we can to make it a gala and memorable production." he said.
