guilty to breaking and entering a Hamilton home and stealing $72.

Stanley Ronald Davis, of Cedar Avenue, appeared in Magistrates' Court charged with breaking and entering a Joells Alley home and stealing an ATM card and some cash.

Prosecutor Insp. Peter Duffy told the court when the residents of the Pembroke home awoke to find Davis at the foot of their bed, he ran off.

"Davis stole an ATM card from the pocket of a pair of pants in the room but later discarded it,'' said Insp. Duffy.

"He also stole cash from a handbag in the kitchen.'' Davis told the Police he used the money to buy cocaine.

Duty counsel Mr. Kiernan Bell said Davis had been looking at a local drug rehabilitation programme and would prefer that to incarceration.

Davis was remanded in custody for a social inquiry report.

He will appear again in court on July 21.

Director of the Alumni Relations, Mr. Nicholas Zaharias, joined a lunch with the former students to set up the Chapter.

"The alumni will get together for functions, donate to the university and help give advice to parents and prospective students and hopefully get more students for us,'' he said.
