Carrying sweaty clothes?

This is probably an oft-covered topic, but my searches turned up lots of vague posts that didn't answer my direct question.

I sweat, even in the cold. When the summer comes, I will surely sweat more. However, while I can shower in the gym on campus in the mornings, there isn't always a locker available to leave my clothes in all day. I stupidly opted out of a rental before they filled up because I hadn't thought about how late I'd be in on Mondays and Wednesdays.

So now I'm dealing with the situation of carrying around my clothes in my backpack. Because it's winter, I can usually run my wool stuff under a hair dryer for a few minutes and be fine, but this won't be the case in summer.

So does anyone here deal with clothes having to co-mingle with books and papers? What do you do? I could obviously just shove them in a stuff sack, but even the most breathable stuff sack will keep them soaked and I have to put them back on at the end of the day to go home, so I'd like it if they could get a little dry. And we're talking school here, so hanging my flithy, sweaty bike shorts from my backpack while walking around campus is definitely a no-go.

So I'm out of ideas. Input? Suggestions?
