Songsters Aid Westerly Fund The Westerly Club will spon• sor "An Evening of Song," featuring the Providence Col• lege Glee Club under the di• rection of Rev. Leo S. Cannon, O.P., on Saturday. Feb. 28, at 8:15. The affair will be held at the Stonington, Conn.. Junior- Senior High School and part of the proceeds used to establish the Westerly Club of Provi• dence College Scholarship Fund.
According to Gerard A, Noel, social chairman of the event, it is hoped that the club will realize a $500 scholarship to be awarded annually to an incom• ing freshman from the South• western Rhode Island and Southwestern Rhode Island and Southeastern Connecticut area. He added that the scholarship will not be renewed to the same person but given only to another incoming freshman- Noel also stated that accord• ing to present plans the club will set up the requirements for the scholarship, but the Administration will choose the recipient based upon scholastic ability.
BERMUDA VACATION Following a long-standing tradition, a large group of Providence College students is planning to spend the Easter vacation in Bermuda. This in• formation was announced Mon• day by Louis C. FitzGerald, special instructor in advertis• ing, who has been conducting spring tours to the famous va• cation resort for the last half dozen years. Mr. FitzGerald said this year's tour would be leaving Logan International Airport in Boston for a flight to Bermuda via Pan American Airways on Easter Monday, March 30. Information may be obtained from Mr. FitzGerald in the Bus• iness Administration Building or from George Brown, a mem• ber of the senior class.

With four and a half minutes remaining in the fracas, Schementi fouled out after another of his now fre• quent superb ballgames. In the next four minutes, the Friar lead shrank to a single point, 51-50. Considering the excel• lent defensive record of PC, this is quite a deficit and im• presses upon the sports fans the importance of Pete to the hoop array.
In last Monday's fray, the sixth ranked defensive team, Providence, ran up against the sixth ranked offensive team, St. Bonaventure. As was proven, Mullaney's defense was better than Bonnie Coach Ed Dono• van's offense. This came as no surprise since Joe's coaching ability is currently the talk of New England and could quite possibly become the talk of the nation.
