of epidemiology at USC.
According to a study of 781 Uniersity

F Uut ol the 5,544 surveys adminisr
tered so far, 83 percent were sexually
active. Over 46 percent have had six or
more sexual partners, and 20 percent
^ had been treated for STDs at least once.
f "They're going to be hit by a bullet,
HIV," Sy said. "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.

everything, you find out you can alStudent

"Peonle are not used to fighting a
disease with education," Sy said. "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.

greater your risk.
"The old-fashioned romance and
love should be back into the relationship,"
Dr. Sy said. "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."

of the songs reach back even further,

61."
