LSD On Campus By REX MAZDA Curry residents Alfred Gary and Joseph Parker were arrested on Wednesday of last week on drug charges. Joe Parker was the Residence Assistant for the eighth floor. The Virginia State Police have said that during an undercover investigation, Gary sold LSD to a trooper on two occasions, one time in Cumberland County and another in Farmville. Police officials contacted would not say whether the investigation was conducted on the Longwood Campus. Vice President for Student Affairs, Phyllis Mable, said that the administration knew nothing

about the investigation until the arrest was made. Parker, a chemistry and physics major from Asbury Park, New Jersey, was charged with one count of conspiracy to distribute LSD. Parker apparently has been released; "I do not know if he is attending classes," Mable said. Gary, a government major from the Bronx, was charged with two counts of distribution of LSD. Acid, a powerful hallucinogen and a favorite of the more hardcore drug users, has seen its popularity among students drop since the 1970's due to a fear of dangerous side-effects.

Clarence White, owner of Pierson and White Construction, assisted Dr. Jordan in salvaging some bottles from the early 18 or 190O's, buttons dating back to 1790's, horse and pig teeth and assorted bones. A brick wall was also found. These 120 bricks were handmade of clay, sand and crushed quartz. With further research it was discovered that the wall was one of the Thackston dwelling dating back to at least Nov. 25, 1858. Dr. William W.H. Thackston.

Lancers Leap Into First Place Following Longwood's 74-69 overtime win over third ranked Mount St. Mary's Friday night, a lancer fan called radio station WFLO in Farmville and requested DJ Tom Jenkins to play "I'm So Excited" by the Pointer Sisters. "I want to hear that song because I'm so excited about Longwood's basketball game tonight," the caller told Jenkins. It was an EXCITING night for the Lancers and the thousand or so fans who were on hand. Lancer Hall was jumping like never before after Frank Tennyson canned a 3-point shot at the buzzer to bring on overtime. And

when the dust had settled and the victory was in hand, the Lancer cagers were engulfed by their fans and fellow students. The victory over a team ranked third in the nation was a BIG one. "Without question it's one of our best wins," said Longwood coach Cal luther. "The last time a team that highly ranked played here was when UDC beat us 65-64 in 1982. It was all the more satisfying because it came against a league team and it gives us a shot at the MasonDixon championship." With its fifth straight win, Longwood is now 9-10 overall and 4-1 in the MDAC. The Lan-

cers are in first place in the league. Senior forward Kenneth Fields had the top game of his career with 29 points and seven rebounds. The 6-2 co-captain was guarded for much of the night by The Mount's 6-10 center Mike Grimes. Fields was 11-17 from the floor and 7-9 from the line before fouling out with four minutes to go in regulation. "I told everybody I saw before the game that they could count on us winning," said the confident Fields. "I was feeling pretty good tonight." Tennyson got the idea for his heroics Wednesday night on

television when he saw Kentucky's Roger Harden drive down court and hit a long shot at the buzzer to beat LSU 54-52. "I saw this guy do the same thing on TV Wednesday night," said Tennyson. "I heard Lonnie (senior Lonnie Lewis, LC's top outside threat) asking for the ball, but he was on the other side of the court and there was three defenders between us. So, I just put it up." Tennyson had sue points, four assists and no turnovers in 19 minutes of action Friday night. Lewis had a phenomenal shooting night from long range, (Continued on Page 12)

Rotunda Needs Staff After an ad and one hundred ninety-nine copies of a letter asking the faculty to help The Rotunda recruit staff, our meeting last week resulted in two new staff members. OH BOY! I sure hope they use big words and repeat themselves 'cause two more just don't cut it when we want to average 13 pages per week. Let's try a new approach . . . The Rotunda needs staff, but you don't want to do it, it takes around 90 hours per week, even to be a peon. It's no fun, often painful and sometimes even causes illness, festering blisters or double amputations. You get no recognition, 'cause nobody reads the rag. You can't put it on your resume or make your relatives proud. Even If you wanted to join the staff, you couldn't 'cause we're prejudice against everybody, just about. You are probably grossly underskilled as well, too. The dictionary in the office weighs about sixty pounds and you probably couldn't lift it. I would highly recommend just sitting on your butt like the veggie you are, because if you did join the staff and wrote just one story, you'd smell bad for a week. Nobody knows why but everytime a story is written you kinda stink for about seven days — no more, no less. That's how we know when another story Is due, when you start smell in' good again. Even after all this, if you still want to join our pitiful group, just come by The Rotunda office in Lankford, left of the Post Office. Thursday night at 8:00, we'll all be there, probably in a big fight or something. Or contact Smelly Loser, Box 1133, 3924012.

To The Editor: I found out today that the Campus Police are not just a bunch of ticket-giving bums; the boys in blue are also in charge of breaking up football games. This Friday, Sigma Phi Epsilon and Delta Sigma Phi played a football game on Barlow Field. There were around one-hundred students watching the game. With fifteen minutes left in the match, a meter-maid Campus Police officer walked on the field and tried taking the ball away. The officer was invited to play running back for a while, but refused. The game moved over to Her Field. Surely we would have been booted off that field too if the cop had time to get permission from whoever. Sure the fields were wet and got torn up a bit, but Field Hockey season is over, and you could spread grass seed over the entire campus with comprehensive fees from just one student. We pay out the nose for the existence of these fields. Why cant' we use them? Longwood loves to tell us not to drink so much and when the two best partying fraternities decide to do something wholesome, the Campus Dicks usher them off the field. Are you trying to tell us something? Would you prefer us to have wild alcohol — and druginduced orgies with little or no clothes on? Name withheld to avoid tickets

To the Editor: The other night, a situation arose that I would like to bring out in the open. It has come to my attention that the campus police will not go off campus to pick up Longwood students who need escorts back to their dorms. This might not sound so ridiculous until you consider that we live right across the street from the campus. I realize that we were being lazy by not walking these people back ourselves, as we were still entertaining no other guests at the time. But it also seems silly that we had to promise the

campus cops that we would walk the ten feet that separated us from school boundaries and wait for them there, especially since these same people have been seen giving on-campus students rides to the hospital (which is understandable) and to the drug store and other places in town (which is not). I know that 1 am an off-campus student, but I still pay my comprehensive fees just like oncampus students. Suppose somebody tells me what those fees are going towards. Name and address withheld

Managing Editor's

Reply This letter is in response to the January 28 letter to the Editor by Assistant Professor of Philosophy, David N. James. I write this letter, partially to try and clear up exactly what Dr. James was saying, and partly to save rny own skin because the person he attacks, Mr. James Caleb, was quoted in an article that I, myself, wrote. Dr. James writes of "psychological egoism," a term used to describe a person's general tendency to promote only their own self-interest. I tend to agree that people can show characteristics of being nonegoistic, but only on a small scale — people don't seem to care much about anything these days, I know that sounds harsh, but upon further investigation into the subject, one may find that being an egoist is not so bad, and even further, that to be classified as an egoist is only a matter of opinion and therefore should not be taken too seriously. For example, I have already admitted that I am an egoist because I am writing this letter to "save my own skin." However, wouldn't be an egoist if I did not write this letter because I thought the best way to promote my own self-interest is to avoid the situation and not bother getting in it. Which alternative is the worse of the two egoisms? As another example, I submit that I am an egoist because I am currently going to college at some sacrifice to my mother. You may then say that my mother is not an egoist because she is sacrificing both corn-

pamonship and money in order to promote my education. Again, the tables can be turned by understanding that this plan may be an investment in her future, as I would be able to support her in her older age with a higher paying job because of my continued studies. The point that I am trying to make is that people are not egoistic unless someone else wants to make them that way. I, for one, do not intend to sit around and pick out people's ulterior motives for the purpose of showing just how evil people can be. My mother loves me and wants me to get an education; I love my mother and probably would support her in the future — if she needed it. Whether those are egoistic attitudes or not will not cause me to lose any sleep tonight. In conclusion, Mr. Caleb was viewed by Dr. James as an egoist because Caleb said that he did not believe that people in the marketing business were "not in it for something. They must have some goal in mind or else they wouldn't be doing it in the first place," a statement that says people are in the marketing business to either make some money or to use a project as a learning experience — something that could possibly enhance their well being now or in future prospects. My feelings are that if a person going into marketing is not going to be "egoistic," then maybe they should consider a less competitive occupation — such as professing philosophy. BHB

Not A Pretty Sight How would you like to wake up every morning to the beautiful sight depicted in the picture? Not a pretty sight, is it? None-the-less it is a common sight for the South Cunningham residents Teri Acors, Stacy Hicks, Julie Anne Powell and Denise Rast — and it could start to be a problem for other residents, as well. "The whole ordeal started back in October,** recalls Hicks, "when the ceiling started to leak. At the time, we had to take our showers with the lights out because the water was coming through the light fixture and we were all afraid of getting electrocuted!" "Aside from taking showers in

We have a proposal into the state for a funding project that would rebuild those bathrooms — all of them. South Cunningham has deteriorated to the point where there's nothing we can do short of ripping those showers out and rebuilding them."

How to live with someone who's living with cancer.

IT'S CHEAP!

Learning to live with cancer is no easy task. Learning to live with someone else's cancer can be even more difficult. Nobody knows better than we do how much help and understanding is needed. That's why our service and rehabilitation programs emphasize the whole family, not just the cancer patient. We run local programs with volunteers who are recovered cancer patients, or whose lives have been touched by family members or friends with cancer. That's what makes us one of the largest, best-motivated and most caring of any health organization in the country. Among our regular services we provide information and guidance to patients and families, transport patients to and from treatment, supply home care items and assist patients in their return to everyday life. Life is what concerns us. The life of cancer patients. The lives of their families. So you can see we are even more than the research organization we are so well known to be.

Faculty From Finland Under an exchange program, Dr. Nelson Neal, assistant professor of physical education, has gone to teach at the University of Jyvaskyla in Finland. Risto Nieminen and his wife, Pirkko, both members of Jyvaskyla's faculty, have come to Longwood for the spring semester. The Neals and the Nieminens are occupying each other's house and using their host's automobile. Risto, nicknamed "Roope," is teaching volleyball and orienteering, a popular Scandinavian sport in which competitors use a map and compass to find geographic points and complete a course. Pirkko, who is called "Pipsa," teaches dance. Both are members of the university's faculty of Physical and Health Education, one of five "faculties" (academic departments). Roope has been Faculty Secretary — an administrative position — since 1974. Roope, 42, and Pipsa, 39, brought along their two young sons and Roope's 25-year-old niece, Maaria, from Helsinki. They arrived in the United States in early January and lived in Longwood's- Alumni House until the Neals left for Finland Jan. 22. The couple has enjoyed the friendliness of Americans and the warm weather. "People here are so friendly and nice," said Roope. "In general, people are more polite than in Finland, at least the ones I've met."

Pipsa said she likes the "small talk" at stores between cashiers and customers. In Finland, she said, such conversation is rare, and Finns seldom exchange greetings when passing strangers on the street. When they left Finland, it was minus 15 Celsius, or 5 degrees Fahrenheit, so the weather has seemed especially warm to them.

"And there may be one meter (slightly more than 3 feet) of snow on the ground at home," said Roope. "So, we don't miss the weather." They have been surprised by the formality with which American students address them; Finnish students call their professors by their first name. "I was shocked when the students first called me 'Professor Nieminen.* I said 'Please, call me

Send In The Crowds If you mentioned the Marketing Intern Program to someone, you'd probably get a quizzical look. That is partly due to the fact that it isn't listed on any master schedule and partly because not just anyone can take it — it is a specialized "course" for selected students. The program, which was started by Mr. Burt Brooks who teaches marketing here at Longwood, was first implemented last semester in an internship for two marketing students, Sherri Clemmons, President of the Longwood Chapter of the American Marketing Association and Sherry Massey, Vice President of the Longwood A.M.A. "This program started because several departments around campus had contacted me to do research for them," said Brooks. "I really didn't have a formal way of doing the research, other than the marketing research class, and since a large class is not conducive to a project like this, I decided to start the •

internship with one or two people along with myself." "I think the program is good," continues Brooks, "because it gives the students an opportunity to get hands on experience and it gives them a chance to work with the administration and other departments. They have to coordinate the whole thing with the people that initiate the project. They have to do the research. They have to formally present the project at the end. I think that kind of experience is invaluable." So what about the program, itself? A report, entitled "Student and Faculty Awareness of and Attendance at Longwood Atheltic Events" shows the results and recommendations of the information compiled by Clemmons and Massey. The initial objectives of the project were to determine the level of awareness among students and faculty at Longwood about athletic events, and to determine the effectiveness of

communication between sports information sources and the students and faculty. The primary goal was to discover whether increased awareness of athletic events would increase attendance. In order to determine these objectives, 75 faculty surveys and 125 student surveys were randomly distributed throughout the Longwood population. The Freshmen class was purposely avoided in these surveys due to the fact that they had not had the opportunity to attend events at the time the research was being done. The findings are as follows: A. A major contributing factor to lack of attendance at sports events is lack of awareness. 1. Student surveys showed. 69.5 percent are unaware of times and dates of games. 2. Faculty surveys found that 25 percent of the professors think that they and the students are less than somewhat aware of times and dates of events and 52.3 percent are only somewhat aware.

B. Although Longwood has been characterized as a "suit case college", the surveys found that actually 88.5 percent of the students remain on campus 1 to 4 weekends a month, 51.6 percent of these staying 3 to 4 weekends. C. In communicating information to students and faculty, the following methods have been found to be most effective: 1. Word-of-mouth (77.9 percent by friends). 2. Rotunda (76.8 percent regularly read). 3. S-UN calendar (70.0 percent having poster). 4. Message board (63.2 percent regularly read). 5. Campus Bulletin (58.9 percent regularly read). In other words, the report found that the students are here — many just don't know about the games — some students do not even realize that admission is free to atheltic events! With so many sporting events going on, how can students say there is nothing to do? Several recommendations have been made to the Athletic Department, but, as to- wfjetfier any of those recommendations have been taken into account remains to be seen. One visible acknowledgement of this project is the blue sports schedule posters that are very similar to the S-UN calendar of events schedules that can be found throughout the campus. Other various sources of media to attract attention, put posters up attract attention, put posters up in classrooms, have players announce games in their classes, have players preview the games on WUTA, have pep rallies, and sponsored rivalries between various campus organizations such as sororities and fraternities. Mr. Brooks hopes to continue offering programs like this in the future — first, because it is a good experience for the student involved and, second, it helps Longwood College as a whole. In fact, you may be asked to fill out a survey sooner than you think, considering that another marketing internship project has already been started for the spring semester. It's your campus people — get out there and get involved with it.

Drugs Make Comeback

By SUSAN SKORUPA LOS ANGELES. CALIF. (CPS) — A new recreational drug seems to be appearing on college campuses, researchers say. Use of "magic" mushrooms — natural hallucinogenics with effects similar to but milder than LSD — is rising on West Coast, New York City and even on British campuses, say researchers at UCLA and Cal State-Northridge. But national drug surveys are missing what could be the beginning of a trend by asking the wrong questions and misinterpreting data, the researchers add. The study, prepared by UCLA student John Thompson, Cal State ethnobotanist William Emboden and UCLA psychologists M. Douglas Anglin and Dennis Fisher, says nearly 15 percent of 1,507 students surveyed at UCLA and Cal StateNorthridge admitted to using mushrooms at least once. A state Substance Abuse Services study showed New York City high school students who had tried hallucinogenics, including mushrooms, increased from six percent in 1978 to 10 percent in 1983. "Our survey proved two things," Fisher notes. "First, mushrooms are the major hallucinogenic being used in our sample, not LSD. And second, national drug surveys are asking questions in the wrong way and L0NGWO0D COLLEGE BSU misreporting the data." Ginger Eidson, President When mushroom users are Box 445 asked if they have used LSD or anything similar, "yes" ARE YOU A WINNER? respondents are labeled LSD There is olten only a small difusers in other surveys, he says. ference between the top leaders Those who don't consider in every field and those who mushrooms similar to LSD anmerely "do well."

Drug Abuse (NIDA) is skeptical. "I haven't heard about increased mushroom use at least on this side of the country," says NIDA Washington, D.C. spokeswoman Dorin Czechowitz. "And I can't say (the California) study is supported by any data in our surveys." But, so far, mushroom use seems to be confined to small areas on both coasts, Anglin says. "The mushroom center seems to be established in Washington state," Fisher agrees. "The Pacific Northwest has an ideal wet, humid climate for growth. It's quite likely they grow well there." The new interest in mushrooms could be cyclical, researcher Anglin explains. "Don't ask me why, but about every 20 years is a cycle for drugs," he says. "It's like we had nostalgia for the '50s and now the '60s. People who didn't live through those times find them interesting." Anglin blames "media hype" for generating interest in various drugs, and predicts the extent of mushroom use "depends on the media attention."

"These things have a kind of word-of-mouth attribution that makes them attractive to people who use them," he says. "Usually the experimentors are bright, alert people." While it's illegal to possess or use mushrooms, the nonhallucinogenic reproductive spores are legal. If mushrooms' availability enhances their popularity, "it will be interesting to see how fast the trend moves," Anglin says. But mushrooms probably wont affect use of other drugs like marijuana, cocaine and alcohol, he says. "Coke is in for the rest of the decade."

When the building was torn down the plate was lost until 1897. It is now in the Lancaster Library and a model of the plate is on the front of the Rotunda building. Dr. Thackston was Farmville's first mayor in 1872. As mayor, Dr. Thackston and the Rev. James Nelson, the pastor of the Baptist Church, led a movement in 1884 to have a teacher training institution supported by the state located in Farmville. On March 7,1884, the Virginia General Assembly passed a law establishing a "normal school expressly for the training and education of white female teachers for public schools" at Farmville, on the condition that the town would convey to the state the property known as the Farmville Female College. The legislative appropriated $5,000 to establish and continue the school and $10,000 annually toward the operating expenses and salaries of the staff. The board of trustees consisted of such trustees as Ruffner and Curry. Dr. Curry was chosen president of the board and Dr. Ruffner was chosen first president of Virginia's first normal school. What seemed at most to be an organized pile of bricks turned out to be a part of the foundation of Longwood College. Dr. Thackston died in 1899 at the age of 79. The Thackston dwelling was torn down in about 1922 to yield way to the new student building to be named French. Special thanks to Dr. Jordan who saw that wall as more than just bricks. Also thanks to all those who helped Dr. Jordan do his research. "In the very act of rushing on to the future we are reminded in the most physical way of our past. It is one thing to read about the past, but to touch the bricks convinces us it really happened." (James W. Jordan, Ph.D.)

Intership invaluable' Sherry Massey, a Senior here ' at Longwood who is studying Business Administration with a concentration in Marketing, returned this week from a week long internship with the Martin Agency. Martin is an advertising agency with branches in Virginia Beach and Florida — the headquarters being located in Richmond. Massey was first introduced to the Martin Agency by the Office of Career Planning and Placement last year when they sponsored a field trip to Richmond to tour the various marketing agencies. "They had applications for the internship at the agency when we went for the field trip," said Massey, "so I just picked one up and filled it out." Unfortunately, she was turned down because of the large number of applicants that apply Jfor the very few internship openings. She did not reapply but got a letter over Christmas break stating that she was not accepted and should report to work at 9:00 a.m. January 27. "I really didnt want to miss that much school," interjected Massey, "but the Agency said they preferred to get students into the program before they graduate." Once getting permission from the school and her instructors to take time away from school, Massey took off to enter the boundaries of life after college. "The first two days were lectures by people from the various different departments involved in the agency," she said, "one right after the other with a one hour break for lunch in between." Day one included the Agency tour and introduction and then lecturers from the media department, the account management department, the marketing research department, the print production department and the broadcast production department. Day two took right up with lectureres from the traffic department, accounting and data processing, sales by design, creative copywriting and public relations. "They told us what the function of the department was — at least as much as they could in an hour — and we could feel free to stop them at any time to ask questions." The last three days went into something called concentrated study where the interns pick one of the eleven departments to work strictly with. Massey chose account management because

she would like to become an account executive — the person who is basically in charge and responsible for the completion of specific campaigns. "It was overwhelming at times," she said. "I've never been hit with that much information in my life. I think I learned more in the past week than I have in four years of college — it's just so much to comprehend that you go home and you're just exhausted" "However," Massey finishes, "everybody was just so nice and they were always willing to take time out any time to help you. I thought it was an exceptional program and an experience that I'm not likely to forget for a long time."

Intramural Update

Project Asset Project Asset, in the opinions of those who participated, was a total success. Project Asset is a special program in which students interact with alumni. The goal of the program is to allow the student experience a job which is related to his or her field. Some students requested specific alumni in which to work with. The students who participated learned what is involved in a job in their particular field of study. This way, they can form an opinion, good or bad, of the field they are interested in. Project Asset was held in the last couple of weeks of Christmas break. The students may have gone to the job from one to five days. Before entering the job field, the students participated in a session on "being a professional." This session was conducted by Ms. Niki Fallis. Ms. Fallis gave tips on how to dress, react with other employers and the employer, how to respect confidentiality, and other on-thejob relations in general. The students' majors include: Home Economics, Psychology, English, Business, Chemistry and Medical Technology. Darcie Brackett, an English major, participated in Project Asset. For two days, January 6 and 7, Darcie visited Virginia Power Company in Richmond. Her duties included talking to people in communications and

public affairs. This was to see if she would be interested in this line of work. Darcie states, "This is a definitely positive thing to shoot for. The experience would be helpful to anyone who takes part in it." Another student, Deb Amos, a junior business major, worked at Dominion Banksharers' Corporation in Roanoke., Deb was introduced to the company and was under the guidance of Joe Donnely, the vice president and manager, who is known for working with interns. She said of her duties, "I got to use computers and gained software practice. I got to work with a word processor and typed up my resume." Deb will be taking her Certified Public Accounting exam and will be working in the administrative part of accounting. She states, "Project Asset is something that I think everyone should do so they can learn and understand what they will be doing in a job related to their field." Other students worked for such companies as the School of Allied Health in Norfolk, Whittaker General Medical in Richmond, Sovran Bank in Richmond and even an Interior Decorator. The program will continue next fall and applications will be accepted. "Project Asset will definitely help alumni and student relations," states Ms. Fallis.

Past Event Winners: Foul shooting took place on Tuesday, Jan. 28. The winners are as follows: Mens — 1st, Kenny Edwards; 2nd, Steve Ayres; 3rd, Leon Hughes. Women's — 1st, Kim Rhodes, 2nd, Wanda Gilbert; 3rd, Genevies Toler. The weekend Coed-Bowling Tournament which took place on Jan. 25 was a big success with ten teams participating.

Picking up three wins with only one loss were Pete Whitman —142, David Taylor — 190, and Strauss. Junior Billy Howard — 167 and 177, chalked up 3 wins with one tie. "Howard had a great tournament," said coach Steve Nelson. "He just had a super weekend." Howard now stands at 14-7-1 and Whitman at 23-9 for the year. This week Longwood plays at Washington & Lee Wednesday night and competes in the Old Dominion Duals Saturday in Norfolk. In last Tuesday's match, Longwood pulled a decisive win over Ferrum to head into the weekend tournament. Strauss had an excellent match by defeating the 1984 AAA heavyweight state champion by a score of 4-2. "Strauss wrestled a very good match, probably his best of the year," said Nelson.

In what was without question a "team win", there were many contributors, Junior Kevin Ricks had six points, 3 assists, 2 blocked shots and 2 steals. Senior Lionell Ogbum had 5 points and a career high 7 assists. Center Quintin Kearney had 7 points and 7 rebounds, including a dunk at the Mount St. Mary's end of the court near the start of the game.

late. Senior Dave Edwards came off the bench to get 4 points and 5 rebounds in 14 minutes of action. "It was a great team victory," said coach Luther. "Everybody contributed. I couldn't ask for a better effort than we had tonight. Heading into the game I really felt we could do it if we held down our turnovers. The Mount gets a lot of its offense from its defense with steals leading to easy baskets. "We wanted to get the ball to Kenny (Fields) down low and have him kick it out to Lonnie if things were jammed up inside. That play worked for us in several key situations. Lonnie really delivered in the clutch."

Continuing a steady climb toward a possible winning season, Longwood's men's basketball team upset thirdranked Mount St. Mary's 74-69 in overtime Friday night in Lancer Hall. With their fifth straight win, the Lancers took over first place in the Mason-Dixon Conference. Now 9-10 overall and 4-1 in the league, Longwood hosts Randolph-Macon Wednesday and Pittsburgh-Johnstown Saturday in a pair of MDAC games this week. Next week crucial road tests at Liberty (Monday) and at Maryland Baltimore County (Saturday) will confront Longwood. In defeating the Mount Friday night, Longwood served notice that the dominance of RandolphMacon and The Mount in the MDAC is in danger of coming to an end. R-MC and MSM have ended up 1-2 in the first two years of the conference. The Lancers, 410 just two weeks ago, now have a shot at winning the MDAC regular season crown. Senior Kenneth Fields poured in a career high 29 points and grabbed seven rebounds before fouling out with four minutes left in regulation to pace the win. Lonnie Lewis, a co-captain along with Fields, canned five 3-point field goals in nine attempts to score 17 points. A Lewis 3-pointer with 3:57 left in overtime put Longwood up for good 69-66. The biggest shot of the night, however, belonged to 5-8 senior point guard Frank Tennyson. With time running out and The Mount ahead 66-63, Tennyson drove down court, pulled up outside the 3-point line and launched a missle which sent Lancer fans and players into orbit when it swished through the net as the buzzer sounded. It almost seemed that Longwood was destined to win when Tennyson's shot hit the mark. Longwood ended Mt. St. Mary's 11-game winning streak while at the same time improving its own homecourt mark in Lancer Hall to 51-16 since the facility was completed in 1960. Picked to finish fifth in the sixteam league by the coaches, Longwood has improved steadily since an 0-4 start.

Fields Player Of Week Senior men's basketball cocaptain Kenneth Fields has been named Mason-Dixon Conference Player of the Week and Longwood College Player of the Week for the period January 26 through February 2 following his outstanding performance in the Lancers' 74-69 overtime triumph over Mount St. Mary's Friday night. Fields scored a career high 29 points and pulled down 7 rebounds to lead Friday's upset victory. A 6-2 forward, he had 41 points, 13 rebounds, 4 blocked shots and 2 steals last week as Longwood beat Winthrop 67-58 Monday and The Mount Friday to maintain a 5-game win streak. "Fields just played out of sight," said Lancer coach Cal Luther after Friday's victory. "He really came through for us." The Fairmont Heights High School graduate scored 17 points in the first half and 10 in the last four minutes of the half when Longwood erased a 30-23 deficit to take a 35-34 lead. He fouled out with four minutes remaining in regulation. He was 11-17 from the field and 7-9 from the line.
