KINGSTON, R.I. — October 5, 2000 — Come on home! That’s what the University of Rhode Island is saying to all its alumni. This year’s homecoming is packed with a little mystery, a little madness, and lots of fun. There’s even a groundbreaking event planned for URI’s Convocation Center. And, of course, there will be lots of reunions and time for all alumni to get reacquainted. On Friday, Oct. 13, fisheries, Latino, and MBA reunions will be held. The $25 ticket for The Murder Mystery Dinner planned at 7 p.m. includes entry to Midnight Madness. The Madness, which begins at 10:30 in Keaney Gym, offers URI a chance to whoop it up for its Rams basketball team. On Saturday, Oct. 14, dorm reunions will be held in Barlow Hall. At 10 a.m., alumni will begin tooting it up with an Alumni Band practice on Meade Field. Groundbreaking ceremonies for the Convocation Center follow at 10:30 in Keaney gym.
