The "Nocturne" started amazed the audience with its techni- out slow and suspenseful, indulging in swells and the blending of the difcal agility and interpretive prowess. The violin-clarinet-piano trio oc- ferent sounds of the violin and claricasionally spoke to its audience and net. The two instruments beautifully helped listeners feel included in the offset each other and produced an musical experience.

Sarah Anderson Eisa Ludewig-Verdehr Silvia Roederer Walter Verdehr The highlighted piece of the evening was the world premiere of "Sonata a Tre" by William Wallace. The Chamber Music Society of SLC commissioned this work, and it is Wallace's fourth work composed for the Verdehr Trio. Notorious for his unusual meters, Wallace did not disappoint with his new work. The first movement com- menced with a series of intervals that became increasingly closer and more intense. The building conflict gave the feeling of tying knots with the short strings of melody. The quick first movement eventually gave way to the slower second movement, which began with the piano's chords accompanying the other two instruments' slow ascen- sion. Silvia Roederer's piano seemed to be more pronounced in this movement, and the pizzicato of the violin and light playing of the clarinet allowed the largest instrument to shine through. The third and final movement took an unexpected turn when it began with a fury of scales that did not end until the violin indulged in a rich melody, which the clarinet took up as well. The conversation between the instruments seemed to be the clarinet and violin attempting a beautiful melody, only to be broken up by the piano. The work concluded with an echo of the first movement. After intermission, the audience was thrilled with the breathtaking "Dash", by Jennifer Higdon. This piece sounds as its title suggests: a race to the finish.

Willard Marriott Library MARRIOTT LIBRARY M1TIIIMT tJ ITU NEED A SUMMER JOB? PREMIER MOVERS INC DearJ( I like to party, and last month, one of my "friends" and I got toasted and had sex. It happens. She called me a few weeks later and told me that she has chlamydia. She doesn't know when and from whom she got it. I was pissed. I've slept Jennilyn with about three people since then and I'm afraid that i) I have chlamydia, 2) I have it and have transmitted it to others and 3) that I have other STDs that I didn't know about. This is a sh***y situation. What do I do? Should I stop haying sex? I would call the other ladies, but I don't even have names. As a precaution, I shaved my pubic hair, which I figure should help. I've also started using condoms. Any advice you have would help me out—the weekend's coming. Dear Party Boy; t'_ Glad to hear you've befriended condoms, if not the girls you're sleeping with. It doesn't sound as though you're quite ready for last names or phone numbers. I hear Franklin Covey makes a great little black book for first names only. Of course, the one-night stand is all about fooling around in the dark, but then- you're left in the dark. If you don't want to inquire about girls' names, sexual diseases or views on Iraq, you should plan on using the Trojans. Always keep your soldiers tucked safely inside the horse. As you've learned, sleeping around is risky. Sex is like a family tree—eventually everyone is related. Some relatives we'd rather forget, but it helps to know that Uncle Billy, besides having a fondness for Swedish hookers, has a history of heart disease. It pays to keep in touch with your roots. And now you're part of your partners' sexual histories, whether they are short stories or Russian novels. Sometimes a bibliography is not a bad idea. If you can't find the girls you've slept with, chances are they can't find you, either. And they may have something to tell you. It's time to do a little detective work.

The problem is that many'. \ ^ people can be carriers of STDs without showing symptoms. This is especially true of men. Male STD testing is not ex- ^ tremely reliable, either.
