There is a certain ideal
istic belief that clings to the
common folk of America, a Hor
atio Algeristic dream wherein
the self-made little gay fights
his way to the top, overcoming
even the most formidable odds.
"Little guy" musicians across
the land are particularly prone
to this deception, and many
have withered and have been for
gotten in their waiting—the
breaks never came and much ex
cellent music is lost forever.
Veil, we at MomingSong are re
fusing to wait and to be lost.

bound together by the determ
ination to make our way to the
highest ends possible. Our
means are simply expressed—
good music, happy hearts, hard
work, and relentless desire.
From the beginning:
In the spring of 1972,
Fred Curdts and Randy Hughes
joined forces with Richard Ko
zak and shortly thereafter,
Terry Sweet in the formation
of "Elijah." The major empha
sis of the quartet was on com
mercial folk-rock and soft-rock
music. We wanted to establish
ourselves as a refreshing pause
in the over-bearing clatter of
a dime-a-dozen rock bands, and
the immediate success of our
venture was startling both to
us and to our public. As the
audiences grew, our horizons
expanded rapidly. Early in
1973 we acquired our new name,
"Morning Song," symbolic of not

Two of the new faculty
members on campus are Drs.
Rebecca and Timothy Cline, who
prefer to be called "Becky" and
"Tim". Both teach Speech Com
munications, which is more than
a straight lecture course.
Ms. Cline is from Somerset
Comity, Pa., and has a B.A. in
Education from Penn State. Af
ter considering a career as an
English teacher, she decided
that she was more interested in
theways in which people com
municate with one another.
Specializing in Speech, she and
her husband have completed work
on their Ph. D's.
RANDY
HUGHES
A native of Sacramento,
Cal., Mr. Cline went to Penn
State because he considered it
one of the best schools in the
speech communications field.
Looking for teaching pos
itions, the couple settled on
Penn State. "We both worked
hard for a degree, and Penn
State was one of the few
schools with two job openings,"
said Ms. Cline. "There's no
reason why one of us should stay
at home and the other go to
work, when we both can work."

Freshman Orientation, 1975
spanned a period of three days
in the first week of September.
It included such events as a
"Survival Session," "A Happen
ing," "Something Special," and
innumerable speeches. Some
activities directly involved
the students while others were
simply listening sessions.
