Return of freezing temperatures makes toque a prize

The Alumni Association is offering DailyNews readers a chance to win something valuable now that the winter weather has returned — a warm blue-and-gold toque.

The one-size-fits-all hat has the University’s logo embroidered on its brim and is topped with a pompom. It’s perfect for bundling up now that temperatures on campus have dipped below freezing again.
