PAGANINI SHOWPIECE
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 8 PM
EUGENE FODOR, VIOLIN GIANCARLO GUERRERO, CONDUCTOR
Paganini may well have been violin’s first rock star. His “La Campanella"
is a virtuosic blockbuster—luscious, swooning, with finger
bending fireworks requiring super-human technique.
What listener could fail to be seduced?

genres, available even for some of the
slowest connection speeds.
Then there is album — tape,
minidisc, CD, etc. — trading. With
the Internet’s worldwide appeal and
nearly universal accessibility, music
fans can find the best trading re
sources and the widest selection.
Usenet newsgroups are another
good resource for finding under
ground exchanges and artist infor
mation. There are Usenet programs
for nearly every type of computer
and platform, but a good Web-based
option is “Google Groups” at
groups .google. com.
All of these places can be ac
cessed through a Web browser.
However, a whole new generation
of peer-to-peer software clients
similar to Napster have come to
fruition since the company’s legal
downfall. The “Kazaa” and
“Grokster” programs even improve
on what Napster offered by allow
ing users to exchange files in any
format they desire — not just MP3.
There are also alternatives such as
the “Gnutella” system of pro
grams; two prevalent clients are
“BearShare” and “LimeWire.”

Helquist

fan, a beach lover and a single man. And
while he lives for the game and towers
above most on the
team, Helquist said
sunny blue skies,
close friends and
his mother’s
lasagna are the
things that make
his heart smile.
“I love the sun
and the surf,” he
said, reminiscing
about his Florida
upbringing. “It’s relaxing.”
Bom and raised in Jacksonville,
Fla., Helquist attended University
Christian High School before he start
ed his college career at Louisiana State
University on athletic scholarship. Af
ter a year at LSU, Helquist transferred
to Florida Community College in
Jacksonville for two years before ar
riving at the University in fall 2001.
As a psychology major, 23-year-old
Helquist said he has always been inter
ested in why people behave in certain
ways. Working hard to finish his 400
level course requirements, Helquist
said his favorite class winter term has
been sign language, which does not
surprise his mother, Ann, in the least.
“He’s interested in any situation
where people are overcoming chal
lenges,” she said.
Ann, an art teacher at a Christian
school, and her husband, Steve, an un
employment insurance specialist, cur
rently reside in Jacksonville and miss
their son most around the holidays.
Raised in a religious home, Helquist—
an Episcopalian — said Christmas is
his favorite holiday because he is able
to celebrate with his three brothers
and six nieces and nephews.
Helquist did not see his family be
tween September 2001 and June
2002. Assuming his second year at
the University would be the same,
his family held a Christmas/Thanks
giving party for him before he left for
school in September 2002.
“It’s pretty difficult for us when he
is away for so long,” Ann said.
In his younger years, Helquist went
with the flow and stood on his own two
feet, she said. Having been very socia
ble since birth, Helquist still stands tall
— at six feet nine inches — and re
mains easy-going, she added.
Close friend Rob Simmons sees that
side of Helquist on a regular basis.
“We hang out every single day,”
the 26-year-old said.
Simmons met Helquist through a
mutual friend a year ago and has con
sidered him a good buddy ever since.
When they are not at Taylor’s kicking
back with a brew or being couch pota
toes and playing Grand Theft Auto,
Simmons said Helquist is all about the
team and does not always have time
to enjoy the game with friends.
“We don’t really hoop when he’s in
season,” he said. “We just kick it every
night on the daily. ”
Looking forward to a lifelong ca
maraderie, Simmons said Helquist
brings genuine, kind-hearted ener
gy to the friendship.
“It doesn’t really matter who I hang
out with as long as they are honest,
good-hearted people,” Helquist said.
“That’s all that matters.”
After studying at the college level for
five years, Helquist said he’s eager to
graduate in June and added that he
hopes to play at “the next level” one day.
“I’m ready to move on,”
Helquist said.
He’s nobody’s baby now.
