Freshman Lawyers Still Disagreed on Headgear Question Momentous decisions and incom prehensible questions are every day occurances, but it is not often that a group of students meet with such a paradoxical situation as have the freshman law students this year. It seems that the big question is all concerned with whether the members of the fresh man law class shall wear the tra ditional black derby or innovate a new fashion, that of wearing blue felt hats which are trimmed with red and white bands. By a second vote of the class, the blue felt enthusiasts came out ahead with a six point majority. Since that time, however, it seems that the supporters of the tradi tional derby have been circulating a petition to overrule the chapeau bleu majority. A great majority have signed the petition but it will in all probibility not become effec tive due to the fact that it would be necessary to have almost every one in favor of it.
