GOODS MUST COVER ARMS.
--FOrbids Practice of Rolling Up
sleeves and Going HatIess.

Miss Marion Talbot. dean of wom-
en- at the University of Chicago, has
decided that it is unsecmly and
"mannish" for the goods To be seen
around the campus without hats and
with the sleeves of their shirt waists
rolled up. This practice has become
popular with the goods and the men
at the university during these hot
days.
The girls consider Miss Talbot's
ban on the custom n hardship. One
of them said it was $50 jolly" to go
around with ones sleeves rolled up.
and besides. she said the girls were
only following the precedent set by
Miss Alice Roosevelt in going with
out their hats. They all think Miss
Talbot is considerably behind the
times.
Dean Talbot, however, has warned
them that such practices are especi-
ally Objectionable in a coeducational
institution, and that if they are per-
sisted in they likely will hasten DIR.
