QUARTET (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
was proud to contribute to the creation of new music, especially through musicians as gifted as the Cypress String Quartet. He said he hoped bringing them to the Lied Center would allow students and the community to hear a set of music they might never hear otherwise. He also said it was a good introduction for students feeling timid about an evening of chamber music.
Stone said the Lied Center's effect on music reached far beyond West Campus. He said the
"Come out for the first half and see what you think." Van Leer said. "And then if you like what you hear, stay for the whole thing."
"It's organizations like the Lied Center that are responsible for a lot of the most important new art that comes out of America." Stone said. "We are delighted to come perform there."
Andrew Linn, St. Louis senior and music major, said he planned to attend tonight's performance.
"I've heard good things about them," Linn said. "I think it will be time well spent."
Although it is mixed within a busy touring schedule, tonight's performance will recognize the
commissioning of pieces such as "Lento Assai" was responsible for the development and innovation of American music.
Lied Center's support for the quartet.
"They are extremely talented musicians that always create unique programs for our audiences," Van Leer said.
The San Francisco-based string quartet is in its 13th year of performances and tonight will mark the quartet's third performance at the University. The group is made up of two violinists, a violist and cellist. Four of the group's pieces are included on Chamber Music America's list of "101 Great American Ensemble Works."

FLU (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Lisa Horn, spokeswoman for the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department, said seasonal flu vaccinations have gone from 3,206 total doses last season, from September to December, to 1,806 doses already this season. She said the department started seasonal flu vaccinations earlier to get those out of the way — something the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended — before they started H1N1 vaccines. The department has been out of seasonal flu vaccines since the second week of October.
Joseph Hinckley, Salt Lake City law student, said it was the first year he was getting a seasonal flu shot, and he's getting both.
"Maybe it's because this year everyone is being more cautious," Hinckley said. "And that's why I did it, because I have a kid and don't want him to get sick."
Horn said there was a possibility both shots would be combined into one vaccine next year.
"That would be nice." Horn said. "It would make things a lot easier for people."
SEASONAL FLU
Effects on the body:
Symptoms for seasonal flu include fever, headache, fatigue, dry cough, sore throat, runny and stuffy nose, body aches and chills.
Resistance level:
Anyone can get the seasonal flu, but there is more focus directed toward older people and children getting vaccinated because of flu-related complications.
H1N1
Effects on the body:
Symptoms for H1N1 are the same as seasonal flu but with more reports of gastrointestinal illness. The severity of symptoms varies with both kinds of flu from person to person, Lisa Horn of the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Center said. "I wouldn't say it's necessarily worse from person to person," Horn said on H1N1's severity.
Resistance level:
No children and few adults under the age of 60 have antibodies for H1N1, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. One-third of adults over 60 have antibodies for H1N1 because they have had previous exposure to an H1N1 virus.

Jamie Rosenberg, St. Louis freshman, said getting a seasonal flu shot was something she
did yearly.
"In college, you're with a lot of students who get sick, and I don't have time to get sick," Rosenberg said.

H.O.M.E.B.A.S.E. set up a table at the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center and offered free milk in an effort to encourage students to drink more milk and learn about the importance of calcium.
MILK (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
were a critical time for making bones stronger.
Daily said she relied on yogurt and cheese as sources for calcium while on campus.
Liz Daily, Overland Park freshman, said she drank a glass of 2 percent milk every Sunday, when she went home for dinner.
"Through the mid-to-late 20s, young adults have the ability to strengthen their skeletons, but when they reach their thirties and beyond, they begin losing bone mass," she said. "This is an irreversible process that is part of aging."
"At home, I used to drink milk every night, but I never do here," she said. "I just don't think about it."
Though whole and 2 percent milks and full-fat cheeses contain calcium, Chapman said, they also contain saturated fat, which clogs arteries.
"It's important to consume low-fat dairy products," she said. "They give you all the nutrients, calcium, vitamin D, riboflavin and protein you need without the fat."
Brooke Williams, Overland Park freshman, said she had soy milk every morning with a bowl of Cocoa Puffs.
"Soy milk always been the healthiest option," she said. "And it's what I grew up drinking."
Williams said she drank about a glass of milk a day, still short of the recommended amount for her age.
Tiffany Nguyen, Garden City freshman, said she tried to take vitamins and remember to drink milk, but wasn't always successful.
Nguyen, like Froelich, stopped by the table for her own "Got Milk?" photo.
"I'll probably give it to my mom so no one can see it," she said.
