The Longwood Players have yet another success in their production of "Pygmalion."
Adolescent Control Topic Of Research By TODD M. HALEY As an Assistant Professor here at Longwood and a clinical psychologist. Dr. David B. Stein has written a book. Controlling the Difficult Ado lescent The R.E.S.T. Program The R.E.S.T. (Real Economy System for Teens) program is "intended to put the brakes on the difficult ado lescent so that more traditional communicative and cognitive methods have a better chance of succeeding," writes Dr. Stein. The four basic Home rules of the program are hygiene, chores, verbal and physical abuse, and safety. "Hygiene simply stated means clean room, clean kid by a specific time each day states Stein. Stein believes that on weekdays the specific time should be before going to school, and on weekends, allowances for sleeping in should be made. Once the time is set. Stein says to stick to it with no exceptions. "One of the best things we
can do for our children is to teach them to take care of themselves." believes Stein. Stein recommends that we teach children and teenagers basic skills, such as shopping, cleaning, paying bills, and doing the household budget. The chore rule means that the teenager is to do at least one major chore and several minor chores each day of the week." Stein comments. Verbal abuse is common among teenagers and though physical abuse is rare, it does happen, says Stein; Verbal abuse or physical abuse should not be allowed to continue. Stein recommends that for safety reasons, teenagers should have a set curfew each day; "I have little trouble with a 12:30 a.m. or 1:00 a.m. time limit on Friday or Saturday." Level I of the program consists of a daily allowance pro(Contlnued on page 4)
By HOKE CURRIE The 1990 Par-Bil's Tip-Off Tournament was a series of highs and lows for the Longwood basketball team. Unfortunately for the Lancers, the "low" part came In the second half of the championship game. After breezing past outmanned Mercy College 87-47 in the tourney opener Friday night, the Lancers made Just six of 30 field goal attempts (20 percent) in the second half of the title tilt, enabling Lenoir-Rhyne to come back from an eight-point halftime deficit and take a 64-55 victory. The Bears, pre-tourney favorites in the minds of many, also landed four spots on the six-player all-tournament team (see below). Lenoir-Rhyne had advanced to the finals with a 75-69 win over Francis Marion Friday night. Finishing third in the eighth Par-Bil's tourney were the Patriots, who routed Mercy 76-50 in the consolation game Saturday night. A big "high" for the Lancers came in the first half of Saturday's title game. Playing with great intensity. Longwood stormed out to a 23-8 lead as seniors Keith Latlmer and Greg Holloway dominated the inside. Holloway scored nine of the Lancers' first 23 points and Latimer had four. Longwood had a 27-16 edge on the boards by halftime. Holloway ended the first half with 12 points and seven rebounds, but failed to score the rest of the way. Latimer had 10 of his 13 points in the opening period. Senior guard Billy Dunn was tops in scor-
ing for the game with 16 points, but made Just five of 20 shots from the floor. "All in all. we did pretty well to stay in the championship game while shooting Just 31 percent. For us to take the next step up we have to be able to concentrate for longer periods of time and get something out of each possession. We need to be more consistent over the whole game, rather than (trying to win it) all at once." In Friday's opener Letts canned four of six 3-polnters in the first half enroute to a career high 14 points. He also led the squad with eight rebounds. Joining him in double figures were Dunn with 12 points, Bryan Weaver with 10 points and six rebounds and freshman Reggie Turner with 13 points. Turner, who suffered a mouth injury Saturday night, hit five of six shots from the floor and three of four free throws. Longwood led 49-22 at the half. All 12 Lancer cagers played nine or more minutes in the contest. In the championship game Weaver had an amazing nine rebounds in Just 10 minutes of action, but failed to score. Next up for Longwood is the Alabama-Huntsvllle Arby's Tournament Friday and Saturday in Huntsville. The Lancers play Columbus in the opening round while UAH takes on Berry. Next Monday night at 7:30. Longwood will host Virginia Wesleyan. Four of six spots on the Par-Bil's Tip-Off All-Tour nament team belonged to tourney champ Lenoir-Rhyne. Point guard Jody Petty, who

had 24 points. 11 assists and seven steals In the two games, was voted the Most Valuable Player. Bear teammates John Jones (26 points. 13 rebounds). Keith Clarke (24 points, 11 rebounds) and Jason Coleman (29 points. 7 reboundsjalso made All-Tournament. Lenlor-Rhyne chipped away at the early 15-point deficit behind the play of alltournament choices Jody Petty. Keith Clarke. Jason Coleman and John Jones. By halftime. the Bears trailed by Just 37-29. Just before the half. Lancer guard Joe Lowe, twisted his ankle after attempting a free throw. Lowe, the team's floor general, sat out the entire second half because of the injury, crippling Longwood's offense. He should be able to play this week. "Joe would have made a big difference for us. particularly on key possessions in the second half." said Lancer coach Ron Carr. "We missed his ex perience. Joe get the ball to the right man at the proper time." It was Lenoir-Rhyne which dominated inside play in the second half. The Bears outscored Longwood 15-3 in the first five minutes of the half, turning an eight-point deficit into a 44-40 lead. The Lancers never led again as shot after shot clanged off the rim. A Dunn 3-pointer tied the count at 48-48 with 6:15 to go but the victors quickly regained the edge. With the Bears shutting down the inside. Dunn and Continued on Page 7
