January 22. 1976 Morning Johnson By Janet Mazur Collegian Staff Writer If you're a fan of softer, country flavored rock, and weren't in attendance at Friday's Morning Song concert, you missed quite a performance. The five member band from State College staged a musically impressive show, which encompassed a variety of selections, executed equally well. Bruce Johnson, an acoustic guitarist, and former Behrend student who has since transferred to U.P., opened the evening with several familiar soft rock tunes. The most memorable of these was his version of Autumn, an uncharacteristically soft Edgar Winter composition about- love lost. Flowing, impressive guitar work, and a somewhat ill at ease stage manner- characterized this performance, as he set the stage for Morning Song. This band impressed me most with the eas e , in which they shifted from one musical style to another. Selections ranged from a soft love ballad, to a catchy Latin tune— which easily could be a top 40 success (sorry, I wasn't able to catch the title), to blue grass and country, which they specialized in, without a doubt. Employing a wide range of instruments (from See Penn State before buying University Park (PANS) Students transferring from one of Penn State's branch campuses to University Park will now be able to observe the main campus' facilities in advance. A USG sponsored "Com monwealth Day" will offer branch campus students a chance to "see what the University looks like and what it has to offer," according to Howard Olshansky, Director of USG's Department of Branch Campuses. Olshansky said many trans ferring branch campus students do not realize the many op portunities for enrichment available at University Park. Commonwealth Day, an ex- tension of the Ambassador Program, will expose the students to programs and ac tivities, he said. Olshansky said all branch campus students will be invited to University Park on February 14. That morning they will hear presentations from the Organization of Town and Independent Students, the Association of Residence Hall Students, and both the Inter- Grants The Governor of Pennsylvania annually awards grants to Pennsylvania residents attending Penn State (Behrend College) on a full time basis.

Versatility is their most dominant trademark though they do retain a consistent country flavored style, especially with non-original material, such as James Taylor's Sunny Skies, and Dickie Betz's (of the Allman Bros.) Ramblin' Man. Versatile yes, though their at- , tempts at harder rock were futile. It appeared that Morning Song's harmonies were intricate, and well presented, but with Erie Hall's poor acoustics, who could tell? A fair, overall evaluation of their music, based on Friday's performance is not possible, being that most of the vocal properties were slightly lost. Before ending the concert with an unusual (to say the least) original composition, in which they imitated a locomotive train, they announced that copies of their album, Listen to a Sunrise, are on sale following the show. Do they have what it takes to be commercially successful? Yes, I think so—yet they need just a bit more promotion. (Prior to Friday, did you ever hear of them? ) fraternity and Panhellenic Councils.

Lord Laurence Olivier, Joan Fontaine, •and George Sanders star in this fine drama about an introverted girl who marries a brooding man, haunted by his mysteriously deceased first wife.
