Braves Facing Tough Schedule on Gridiron Smoke Signals, Wednesday, By MORGAN DICKERMAN The 1974 football season is upon us, and the Chowan Braves have prepared for the upcoming season since August 15. The Braves led by Head Coach and Athletic director Jim Garrison, now in his 17th year at Chowan, not only take on Costal Con ference foes, but they will try to “sack the pack” of N.C. State and take on Hudson Valley College and Fort Bragg Special Services. The conference schedule in cludes Baltimore Community College on Sept. 14, Potomac State College on Sept. 21, Ferrum College on October 5, and on Oct. 12 Lees-McRae College. October 26 sees the Braves take on con ference rival Lynchburg Baptist College, and the last conference game will be on Nov. 9 against Nassau Community College. The Braves first game was Sept. 14 with Baltimore Com munity CoQege. The Sept. 6 N.C. State J.V. game was postponed until Sept. 28 because of bad weather. Toughest Jr. Conference Coach Garrison states his Braves face a very tough schedule and “the Coastal Conference is the toughest Jr. WRA Seelcs Members By ELAINECECELSKI The jock (or sports figure, depending on your point of view) is somebody different from the ordinary student. They belong to a certain social class and often depend on their participation in atMetic events, to place them in the society of school. Even the players who do not make athletics their whole platform in school are looked on by others as different. It doesn’t have to be this way, and it shouldn’t although we don’t all have out standing talent in all sports, certainly there are those that we enjoy. Many a good feeling has been felt over a tennis game, foosball match or backyard football, ■niink of the satisfaction you felt the last time you tried your best at the game. The importance wasn’t really winning it was in going all out, and doing it with others who enjoyed it. There have been many wrong attitudes towards organized sports in schools. They isolate people instead of bringing them together. Let’s not carry the myth of sports being something chosen for a few into our college. We have an opportunity to change things, on a student level. The WRA is sports of enjoyment. By participation on a friendly level we can make a good organization and benefit our selves. Schedules have been distributed, announcements of events are made. The key to making it work is now in par ticipation, in going out to enjoy yourself and help others do the same. Remember it’s not life or death, and a crisis will not come about the result of a voUyball game. GREETING NEW STUDENTS — President and Mrs. Bruce E. Whitaker held an informal reception to greet new students at the beginning of the fall term. Shown greeting the new Chowanians are left to right, Dr. Whitaker, Mrs. Clayton Lewis, and Mr. Lewis, Dean of Students. Lloyd Lee Elected President of Mixon College Conference in the country. There are teams from North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, New York and West Virginia.” “We have a very attractive schedule for the students and Chowan fans,” adds Garrison. “Out of the ten game schedule there are six home games. We need the support. The kids know that the people yelling in the stands are cheering for them.” Rebuilding Year This year is definitely a rebuilding year but do not sell the Braves short. “There are 85 squad members this year and only 28 of them are sophomores. Four starters are back from last years squad and twelve let- termen are back. We lost the most starters a Chowan team has lost in ten years. We just have to see what our opponents have. We expect to have a good season if we keep the mistakes down in the early ball games and jell quickly.” “We have had no particular injuries just the little nagging ones that hold a player from practicing and getting down his timing right. We did lose a split end when he had a knee operation and a defensive back with a dislocated elbow.” Returnees are last years starters runningback, David Green of Richlands, linebacker, Daryl Gilyard of Greensljoro, Joe Sorci of Fredonia, N. Y. and defensive lineman, Lorenzo Kenan of Wallace. Green paced the Braves last year with four touchdowns and one 2 point conversion. The explosive run ningback gained 418 yards to average 4.6 yards per carry in seven games. Kenan was credited with 52 tackles and 36 assists in ten games. Other lettermen returning are speedster, Robbie Barrow, running back from Morehead City; center Mike Herring, Burgaw; guard Ronnie Green, Charlottesville, Va.; defensive end Keith Harver, Boykins, Va.; tackle David Joyce, Morehead aty; linebacker Greg Bunn, Nashville; placekicker Junior Creech, Smithfield; and punter Butch Milam of Roanoke, Va. Milam averaged 38.7 yards in last years 5-5 campaign which was the conference’s third best mark. Nonlettermen returning are defensive backs, Jerome Dean of Cincinatti, Ohio, Ronald Speight, Norfolk, Va., and Ray Griggs, Currituck, N.C.; runningback Bill Broclman of High Point; offensive tackle Charles Reece, Thomasville; tight end Edwin Miller, Rome, N.Y. and David By MIKE PATTERSON Mixon recently held an election to pick its officers for the fall semester. Lloyd Lee of Arlington, Virginia was elected President. Lloyd’s main interests lie in people and says he especially enjoys meeting “new and dif ferent people.” Carrying his interest in people through, he plans a career in physical therapy. James Dixon, a business ad ministration major, from Hookerton, North Carolina was elected Vice-President. His in terests include sports of all t^s. James hopes to be a business manager someday. Tony Harris of Richmond, Virginia was elected Dorm Representative. His hobbies include basketball, baseball and playing linebacker for the varsity football team. He is a business administration major and plans to be a financial advisor. Tim Davis was elected Secretary-Treasurer of Mixon. FIRST JUNIOR COLLEGE Joliet Junior College in Illinois was established in 1902 as the first junior college in the world. Joliet was opened in agreement with the University of Chicago, ■flie junior college is strictly American. Within the past three or four years a few junior colleges have been established in Europe. But, the junior college is still recognized as an American contribution to higher education. Cameron, Winston $alem, N.C., who was converted to a quar terback after making the team last year as a tight end. Outstanding Freshmen Freshmen candidates Jeff Dean of Burlington; Tony Larrimore of Tabor City; Henry Hayes of Taylorville and Eddie Griggs of Currituck are all ex pected to push for the starting quarterback position. Larrimore led his high sdiool team to the semifinals of the AA playoffs, and Dean rushed for 451 yards in nine games, passed for six touch downs and ran for five. Another prospect is David Keller of Radford, Va. who can quar terback and also play defensive back. Top runningback prospects for the Braves are Jim Minshull of Ocean City, N.J.; Johnny Johnson of Anderson, Ind.; and Bryan Aldridge of Raleigh, N.C. Aldridge was chosen as Raleigh’s Most Outstanding Player in 1973. Defensive backs Mike Moran of Newark, Del. and Spencer Meeks of Jacksonville, Fla. are both expected to help hold down the defensive backfield. Top linemen signed by Garrison are Murfreesboro’s own Stanley Dixon; offensive tackle Curtis Gunn of Richmond; tackle RobertMoore of Smithfield; tight end George Paspas of Chesapeake; defensive end Mike Butts of Kinston and offensive guard Gary Thompson of Graham. Coach Garrison along with assistant coaches Jerry Hawkins who also came to Chowan in 1958, and Dan Surface are quick to point out that high school credentials don’t always mean a thing. “A boy has to be willing to stick it in there,” adds Garrison. Support Needed As everyone knows support is a vauable asset to any program. Coach Garrison has already stated the schedule is a good one for the fans. With six home games, the fans should turn out to root the Braves on. A move to increase spirit has been made by the athletic director and the Chowan Brave at a school assembly. The Chowan Spirit Bucket was introduced by the Brave and this bucket will be in the hands of the dorm each week that shows the most spirit and support for the Braves. A fine turn out for the Braves preseason intrasquad scrimmage was witnessed by this sports reporter and support should even be better when the Braves go to battle each Saturday. Get out and get involved. Support the Braves! Malone signs Pro Basketball Pack Tim is from Seaford, Delaware and lists as his interests track, tennis, music and being a member of the cross-country team. He is a pre-dental student and plans to transfer to Temple University when he finishes at Chowan. Steve Wilson of Roanoke Rapids is Mixon’s new SGA Representative. His hobbies include softball, golf, reading, hunting and music. In his spare time, Steve is a statistician for Chowan’s football team and a member of the National Guard. He is a pre-education major and plans to attend North Carolina State. He is planning a career in either coaching or in the recreation field. By The Associated Press Basketball star Moses Malone was reported to be preparing to fly to New York to sign a professional contract with the Utah Stars of the American Basketball Association. The 6-foot-ll Malone, who earlier this year signed a grant- in-aid to play for the University of Maryland, was at his home in Petersburg, Virginia but was not available for comment. The Petersburg Progress- Index said, however, it had learned from a source close to Petersburg High School, where Malone averaged 38 points a game last season, that Uiere was “a 99 per cent chance” he will, skip college and sign with the Stars. Malone pre-registered at Maryland on Monday and was scheduled to begin classes Wednesday. No Warning In Crash Ain't it great? With our technology we have developed a beer can that when discarded will last forever — and a $5,000 car which even when taken care of, will rust in two or three years! ! mike Patterson By The Associated Press Stewardess Colette Watson, one of 13 persons who survived Wednesday’s crash of an Eastern Airlines jet, said there was no warning before the DC9-30 crashed just short of Charlotte’s airport. “Everything felt normal. I felt a real hard jolt and my first impression was that our gear had come down and that we were on the runway. Then I looked up and saw flames. Then I saw a passenger standing in front of me,” Mrs. Watson said. The stewardess, who was celebrating her sixth anniversary as a flight attendant, was one of two crew members who survived the crash. Sixty-nine persons died. Mrs. Watson, 26, a native of Columbia, S.C., said she and the unidentified passenger left the remnants of the aircraft through the escape hatch in the jet. She said copilot James Daniels, who also survived, was “in his seat, lying back. 'The passenger with me helped me pull him out.” Mrs. Watson said she heard a cry for help from within the wreckage but then there was another explosion. “Then I started trying to help the others around me,” she said. She discussed the crash at the news conference. Meanwhile, the task of iden tifying victims of the crash continued. Mecklenburg County Medical Examiner Hobart Wood, a team of dentists and law enforcement officers were attempting to make the identification through a comparison of dental charts, x- rays and fingerprints. Wood said autopsies may be required in some cases to identify the victims. THE CHOWAN COLLEGE PLAYERS PRESENT IMPROMPTU September 18th & 19th 102 Daniel Hall 8:00 p.m. Admission Is free and the public is invited. ’'Tickets available in Daniel 206 from 9:00-12:00 and 2;00-S:00'‘ Freshmen Speak Out By HECTOR J. CUELLAR QUESTION; What was your first impression of Chowan College? PAIGE HUSHMAN — "The people here are fantastic - very friendly." PAT OWENS — "It was quite a change from E.C.U., but quite a welcome change." 1 DALE D'AVANZO — "Bewilderment" KATHY CHALLENOR — "A close relationship between students." The Progress-Index said that although details were lacking, the Stars apparently improved their original contract offer, which was valued at t)etween $500,000 and $1 million. The newspaper said officials and advisers to Malone at Petersburg High School originally had been cool toward his signing a pro contract but “it is believed their attitude has changed.” Malone had been a third-round choice of Utah in the ABA draft. The size of the contract offered by the Stars has been variously reported as between $400,000 and $1 million. Maryland Coach Lefty Driesell, who won a monumental recruiting war when he signed Malone, said Monday he thought the high-scoring star was being down-graded by the proffered contract.

DEBBIE HARRELL — "I like being a student a lot more than working at the information desk." Braless Bandit LOS ANGELES AP The braless bandit hasstruck for the second time in two days, but this time she dropped the loot. Police said the woman, wearing a sheer blue blouse without a bra, robbed a South Pasadena branch of the Bank of America of about $400 Tuesday after telling a female teller in a note: “Give me all the money you’ve got or you’re dead.” The bandit ran from the bank with the money in an envelope but dropped it while hopping into a late model Cadillac. The car, driven by a man, sped away before she could retrieve it, of ficers said. On Monday, a person believed to be the same woman held up a Los Angeles savings and loan office and made good her getaway with $2,600.

Ed Reinecke for at least another month and Reinecke says he’s gaining confidence that his perjury conviction will be overtuiiied. “I have said previously my attorneys and I are confident... that the trial record would be stricken,” Reinccke told reporters Tuesday after learning of the decision by U.S. District Court Judge Barrington Parker. “Withe today's announcement my attorneys and I are even more confident.’’ Parker, who presided over Reinecke’s trial in Washington, announced the delay in Wasiiington but did not give a reason for his decision. Reinecke was scheduled to be sentenced Friday for his role in the ITT affair, ^ntencing is now scheduled for Oct. 1. By The Associated Press Carbon monoxide from automobile exhausts may in crease the possibility of traffic accidents, according to two studies reported by the National Safety Council. The experimental studies published in the council’s research magazine. The Journal of Safety Research, found that drivers subjected to levels of carbon monoxide typical in autos suffered losses in alertness and sharpness of vision. Dr. Nicholas Rummo of the Environmental Protection Agency, Chapel Hill, N.C., and Kiriako Sarlanis of the Social Security Administration, Baltimore, Md., conducted a driver reaction time study with seven volunteers of ages 19 to 27. The subjects operated a driving simulator for two hours, during which they were exposed to carbon monoxide levels com monly found inside moving automobiles. A separate test with normal air was used to establish a comparative base. The subjects followed another car, projected in the simulator, at 45 to 65 miles per hour. As the lead car changed speeds, the drivers had to alter their own speeds to maintain a constant following distance. Rummo and Sarlanis reported that all of their subjects had slower reaction times while breathing the carbon monoxide mixture and had greater dif ficulty adjusting their speed. Six of the subjects, who were nonsmokers, made fewer steering corrections, possibly indicating greater impact of the carbon monoxide on them, the researchers said. The seventh subject, a cigarette smoker, made more steeringing corrections, leading the researchers to conclude that he may have been less affected by higher carbon monoxide levels. In another study, Santo Salvatore, a Brown University psychologist, found six young adult subjects — all nonsmokers — experienced narrowed fields of vison while breathing carbon monoxide at levels normal in cars. He also found that they had greater difficulty detecting ob jects pictured against low- contrast backgrounds. K/1R/1TC Train NOW in the art of the weaponless weapon.
