Dear Editor, I graduated (From Providence College) in 1987 and am currently a law student at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. Hav­ ing graduated from a small college in the Northeast, rarely is a word said in this area about Providence College. Except for an occasional game or blurb on ESPN, Providence College just doesn’t exist. It is against this backdrop that I tell you about a humorous event that happened to me just recently. I had arrived early for a class and had picked up The Daily Campus, SMU’s daily student newspaper. I began to read the second story on the first page of the paper and it was about a pool player named Jack White. Reminded of the “ Fancy eatin’ tables" at Louie’s and Giester’s, the story continued to explain that this pool player has spent the last 25 years playing exhibition pool around the country, mostly in Texas, however. And then, much to my surprise, the article stated that White’s favorite place to play is Providence College in Providence, Rhode Island! Wanting to tell someone, all concerns came to a stop. How could I share this information with unsuspecting classmates? Oklahoma State...home of the Heisman, Notre Dame...another national title, Georgetown...where “ 1 have more to offer a kid than an education” John Thompson grips his towel again...Providence College...the favorite place to play for Jack White, the Internationally Famous Pocket Billiard and Trick Shot Artist? If PC can make it to the Final Four this year, I’ll casually reveal this prestigious athletic honor to the world. Until then, my lips are sealed. _ Daniel J. Viera Class of 1987 Jack White demonstrates his “ pocket billiards” expertise with Fr. Keegan some years ago.
