The USC Orchestra's performance, along with two graduate student conductors, the ConcertoAria winners and Dr. Portnoy, displayed why this is the best orchestra Columbia has to offer the listening public. It is unbelievable how well the USC Orchestra plays. The concert opened with Rossini's The Barber of Seville Overture conducted by John Ricarte, the first of the two doctor of musical arts students on the program.

Confident and in total control describes how well Ricarte handles himself on stage. The orchestra had no difficulty following his baton. Ricarte is well on his way to becoming an excellent orchestra conductor. Following Ricarte's performance came the Concerto-Aria winners. A concerto is a compostion for solo instrument and orchestra. An Aria is a difficult solo voice composition with orchestral accompaniment. The USC faculty chose one instrumentalist, one male singer and one female singer. The concerto performed the first of a three movement compostition by Sergei Rachmaninoff entitled "Piano Concerto No. 2" with concerto winner Allison Hudson at the piano.

The interplay between the solo piano and orchestra worked very well. This was a performance worth hearing again. Next was the male vocalist winner, David Brankston, who sang the Aria "Durch Die Walder (Through the Woods)" by Carl Maria von Weber. Brankston gave a very intense and powerful performance. The song is in German but, with the program notes, everyone was able to follow along and enjoy this magnificent performance. After intermission the second .student conductor, Tony Makarome conducted The Marriage of Figaro Overture by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. There was excellent communication between the orchestra and the conductor. As conductor, Makarome was precise and the Figaro Overture was very clean and well interpreted.

The female Aria winner was Michelle Poole. Poole sang "Vedrai, Carino" from Mozart's Opera Don Giovanni. This is a delicate Aria that requires a very beautiful voice to be convincing.

The wine Cisco, which some students refer to as "liquid crack" because of its strength, is becoming a preferred drink among college students "in some places" because it offers "a cheap and powerful high," said Jeffrey Hon of the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug lyv^A/iiu^uwjr The group circulated letters about Cisco at the State University of New York College at Brockport recently, warning students of its effects. BACCHUS International, another campus alcohol awareness group, is planning to send letters to its campus chapters to warn them of Cisco's new popularity. Students are tempted to try the wine by packaging that makes it look like low-alcohol wine coolers, maintained Drew Hunter of BACCHUS, which is based in Denver. "Cisco is a fortified wine product being marketed as a wine cooler," Hon said. Like wine coolers, Cisco comes in 12-ounce bottles and flavors such as red, peach, orange, berry and gold. In a statement, the Canadaigua Wine Company in New York, makers of Cisco, denied it is marketing the product as a wine cooler. "Cisco is higher priced than low-alcohol wine coolers and is not sold in four-packs. Moreover, it is clearly labeled '20 percent alcohol by volume,'" the statement said. The company has placed another disclaimer on the bottle, saying "this is not a wine cooler," and has asked retailers to display Cisco away from wine coolers. The leading market for wine coolers are women and young people, Hon said. If they confuse Cisco with a wine cooler, however, they get much more than they anticipated. One bottle of Cisco is equal to five shots of vodka, enough to make a person 150 pounds or less legally drunk in every state except Georgia, Hon said. Drinking two bottles in less than an hour could kill a person of 100 pounds or less, he said. "We're alerting individuals of the possible dangers" of consuming Cisco, said Joe Franek, SUNY's director of residential life. A/I ftvi p x t jl ^uniinuea irom page a star.
