DERBY IS AWARDED
TO RAY MACKLAND
BY LAW' STUDENTS
Freshman Claims That
Dead Slave Can Be
Replevined.
In a sweeping statement that
set aside eauitv principles estab
lished through centuries of court
opinion, Ray Mackland, freshman
in the college of law. declared that
a deed slave could be replevined,
thereby earning the right to wear
for one week the famous Brown
Derbv. awarded each week to the
law student pulling the best
"boner" in class.
Professor Orfield's equity class,
in which Mackland's opinion was
"handed down," felt that Orfield's
question, "Can a dead slave be re
plevined?" ran Mackland's answer
a close second, if not a tie.
After some discussion, in which
it was pointed out that Mr. Or
fleld already possessed a black
derby, Mackland was declared the
winner and was awarded the
Brown Derby with all due cere
mony. It was the opinion of the
class that such questions should be
reserved for examinations.
