Williams arraigned

Friar basketball star Dwight Williams has been suspended by the College pending an investi• gation of charges that he stabbed senior Ray Romagnolo. The inci• dent allegedly occurred on April 17 after an argument over a pool game. Romagnolo has charged that shortly afterward Williams stabbed him in Alumni Cafeteria. Romagnolo received a stab wound below the left shoulder blade. Rev. Thomas R. Peterson, O.P., has announced that Wil• liams' suspension "in no way re• flects the determination on the merits of the case." This past Thursday Williams was arraigned in District Court where he entered no plea on charges of assault with a dan- gerous weapon. Judge Victor J. Beretta has allowed Wiliams to remain free on $3000 personal recognizance and ordered the case turned over to Superior Court. No date has been set for Dore Hall: soon to be women's dorm the Superior Court hearing.

It's important to know just where you stand in regard to rent prices." Objectives of the organization were stated during the first or• ganizational meeting on March Proulx memorial game The first annual Stephen Proulx Memorial Game will be held on Thursday, April 27, in Alumni Hall Gym, beginning at 7:30 PM. The basketball game, sponsored by the Class of 1978, will feature various New England all-stars against the Quincy Chiefs of the E.B.A. The money raised from this game will be used to establish a perpetuating scholarship fund in memory of the late Providence College student Stephen Proulx, who died in 1976 after a two-year battle with cancer. Response to this scholarship game has been very favorable, according to Class of 1978 presi• dent Bill Cupelo. "All of the senior stars that I invited have agreed to come," said Cupelo. Among the senior players sched• uled to play are Bruce Campbell, Bill Eason, and Bob Misevicius. along with Holy Cross hoop stars Mike Vicens and Chris Potter. Joe Welton from the University of Conn, and U.R.I, forward Stan Wright have also agreed to play. These and other top players will face the semi-pro players, the Quincy Chiefs of the E.B.A. The Chiefs, coached by Leo M. Papile, were "extremely co-op• erative," commented Cupelo. "We offered to pay them $600, but Papile wouldn't accept our money since the game is a bene• fit. Coach Dave Gavitt has agreed to coach the all-stars, and the entire athletic department has been very helpful in assisting me in this venture." A pre-game dinner for the ball• players and the Proulx family will be sponsored by Father Peterson. A most valuable player trophy will also be presented at the close of the game. Many donations have been received from various campus organiza• tions, in addition to $450 worth of advance ticket sales. Stephen Proulx served the col• lege community by holding many important positions within his class and the administration.

O'Connor led the attack in the first half for Prime Time, bombing from outside and pulling down a number of rebounds to turn them into layups against the bigger Cretins. The Cretins staged a mild comeback, taking the lead for a short time in the second half. Then Brereton took control, hitting from inside and out to lead Prime Time in a 49-47 win.
