The pre-teens dominated the AM charts while the older and wiser headed to FM rock. This was a good example of what got the little munchkins of the era so excited. It came in at #6 this week.

He is Yussef Islam now, but once he was a serious singer. This came in at #61 on its way to the Top 10.

Cat Stevens: “Morning Has Broken”

[Fiji Hill]

Where were you on Tuesday, April 13, 1971?

I was on the western slope of Fiji Hill studying eighteenth-century German literature, Russian and psychology as well as playing in the band. In addition, I was arranging a visit by Charlie Smith, a conservative activist, to visit our institution. He did so for free, making his appearance on April 29. At night, I along with the cook at the faculty club, who was a secret conservative, and a few other activists from the surrounding community put up fliers announcing the event.

Ooh, were the lefties mad when Smith appeared and addressed the lunchtime crowd in the quadrangle. I couldn't hear the whole speech because I had to work in the library, but when I returned, he was arguing--or, as he put it, "rapping" with a bunch of lefties, many of whom were black. However, although we "showed the flag," I doubt if we changed any minds.

A few years later, a student named Barry Soetoro would come to Fiji Hill and find the intellectual climate quite there to his liking.

I have read that Charlie Smith is still around and that he has kept the faith.
