"They know whai JDS is and how to protect themselves ut they're not doing it." Sy is involved in two ongoing studis in South Carolina.

F Uut ol the 5,544 surveys adminisr tered so far, 83 percent were sexually active.

"The/11 have it for ' the rest of their lives." The second study being conducted is the Eastern Carolina HIV Prevention. This study focuses on eight , eastern counties in the state: ClarenF don, Florence, Horry, Lee, Marion, Marlboro, Sumter, and Williamsburg Counties. i , The purpose of the study is prevention and intervention among highrisk youth populations in these counties. The community is involved in i the program to try to reverse the high t number of youth HIV cases. > "By educating the community, you're empowering them to do something about it," Sy said. "The bottom > line is that HIV is a preventable disl ease and is in fact, very hard to get. You I have to get into a very risky situation to get it." : According to Sy, the answer to ? AIDS is not going to be found in the laboratory. Prevention, not treatment, is . ' the key. Dylan cor months ago, smacked himself in the forehead, exclaimed "Time to be a genius again," and proceeded to record this new disc. The mushrooming media blitz has sprung forth from a few seeds of truth, though. The first is that, on and off through the late '80s and early '90s, Dylan did indeed suck, churning out listless discs like Down in the Groove. And yes, he mumbled his way through truly bizarre appearances at Live Aid and the Grammys, among others. The second and more timely fact is that with the new Time Out of Mind Dylan has not only surpassed his excellent recent work, but has somehow managed to create an album that stands with such undisputed classics as Highway 61 Revisited and Blood on thp Tracks. Tt's tn the latter disc that Time Out of Mind will be compared most often, as the two share an emotional nakedness that the intensely private Dylan has eschewed throughout the rest of his career. Blood on the Tracks was Dylan's "divorce" album, and failed romance again emerges as a central theme of this new disc.

"We're so used to fighting a disease with injection and pills." Education is the biggest key to fighting AIDS, Sy said. Because AIDS has an incubation period of 10-15 years, you can't tell if a person is infected just by looking at him or her. Communities are going to have to educate, Sy said. One idea is to hold workshops to teach people how to correctly use a condom and handle sex maturely. USC's Health Center is organizing a seminar, "Sex and the College Student" to provide guidance. Sy is skeptical about the impact of just one program. He says the students are just "being young, being invulnerable, and being immortal." We need to get to the roots of the problem, such as poverty and homophobia, and parents need to talk to their kids about sex, according to Sy. \ir i l i. iviunugamy tusu neips pi event AIDS.

"Stick to one partner for your whole life, if possible." ? nes up big ways lose a little more," he observes in and one song, and that thought, delivered witl without bathos, captures the sense of noti resignation and regret that permeates the album. "Don't know if I saw you/If 0fr( I would kiss you or kill you," he rec( sings, then adds, "It probably wouldn't matter to you anyhow." The 56-year-old Dylan also becomes the first of the Woodstock generation to seriously consider his mor- E tality. "I got new eyes/Eveiything looks f far away," he declares at one point, while in the chorus of another song he notes that "It's not dark yet, but it's getting there." fin i x i ine music nere manages lo syu- i thesize sounds from Dylan's recent successes, finding common ground for the fek> buzzing, atmospheric vibe of 1989's kL "Oh Mercy," the flinty blues of "World Gone Wrong" and the acoustic jug-band W approach of the Unplugged disc. A few ' / of the songs reach back even further, as "Dirt Road Blues" uses as a foundation the rambling rhythms of "Highway 61."
