at Aaa Arbor,
University circles at Ann Arbor, Mich,
are excited over a scdndal. which has al-
ready resulted In the peremptory dismissal
of an upper class man and a co-ed, whose
names will not bo revealed by President
Angell or Dean Jordan. The offense was
the admission of the man to a dressing
room where $00 girls were arranging their
costumes for a fancy dress party given by
the Woman's league of the university,
Many of the girls at this party, which waa
supposed to be strictly private and for
women only, were dressed as boys, and
thev and their friends are horrified by the
all their amies.
Much latitude la granted at thesa parties,
land men are strtotly prohibited; Juat-be
fore Thanksgiving recess the league gave a
party, and an upper class man, disguised
as a negress. gained admission, accompa,
nled by one of the co-eds. In the course
of an hour or so suspicion rested upon the
"colored woman,"" who spent entirely.: too
mucb time In the dressing room, and "she",
was summoned Into Dean Jordan's office.
r.Jprdan demanded the3 removal of the1
headgear .worn by the negreaatand dls
covered tha Imposition. She then took the
man's name and ordered him 'from the
building. The co-ed who brought him
from the 'hall' wmrn tailed in' and ' closely
quixied, with the result that the entire
matter was reported to President Angell,
and the'dismlssals ensued. St. Louis Globe-
