Garrison continued!
schedule as junior college programs began to disappear.
Looking at his final season at the JUCO level. Garrison will be
operating under new guidelines. This year’s freshmen class was re
cruited in accordance with NCAA Division III regulations in order to
become a full fledged member of the NCAA at the earliest date.
By being under the Division III umbrella, which offers no athletic
scholarships, the Braves no longer are able to draw some of the blue-chip
athletes that they have had access to in the past. The end result will be
that this year’s program, as we start a new beginning, will not be as
strong as in past seasons.
One of the effects will be felt in the depth chart as there will be fewer
people in the program, so injuries in key positions are a cause of concern
to the coaching staff. Offensively, the Braves will have less experience
returning in more than a decade as only one veteran linemen returns.
Spring practice produced some positive results but the Braves will have
to go with inexperience along the line which will create problems early in
the season until they can learn the system and gain confidence.
A solid receiving corp returns, while a host of talented student-
athletes will be counted on to compete for starting positions at
runningback and quarterback. The Braves defense will center around
veterans returning at linebacker and in the defensive secondary and end
positions. The question mark, as in the case with the offense, is inexperi
ence along the front four.

The President of Chowan College, Jerry F. Jackson,
encourages all of Chowan^s alumni who are Baptist
messengers to vote in support of the Institutions
Relationship Study Committee's report at the Baptist
State Convention in Winston-Salem, November 10th
at 8:50 a.m.
Dear Alumni:
This is an urgent call for your assistance in support of
Chowan College.
We are asking our North Carolina Baptist alumni to
become messengers to the Baptist State Convention in
Winston-Salem, November 9-11. We need your vote
supporting the “Institutions Relationship Study” rec
ommendations, parts of which require a two-thirds
majority vote.
To put it simply, the recommendations—if passed—
will provide immediate or future options for all Baptist
institutions, not just the colleges and universities.
These options will expand our freedom to select and
nominate trustees and will open new doors for seeking
funds for Chowan.
The options will also enhance and guarantee continued
freedom of thought and a strong healthy relationship
with the Baptist State Convention.
You have the power to help six colleges, three social
institutions and three agencies with your “Yes!” vote
on the ballot.
Tuesday, November 10 at 8:50 a.m., the report will be
presented to the Convention. Please talk with your
pastor today about volunteering to serve as messenger.
If you cannot attend, please show this letter to some
one who can and ask them for their support.
Thank you.
Je^ F. Jackson
Pr^ident
