FAQ: Does Chicago Style require that I include a running head on my paper?

There is no mention in The Chicago Manual of Style Online, 17th edition about a running head in a student research paper. The format does require page numbers in the header. See the FAQ Where can I find a sample of what Chicago/Turabian format should look like? for more information and to see examples.
