Naw, Corey NAUKE DANI POTPISANI JUGOSLOVENSKE I TEHNIKE U SSSR--u By Bill Shaw A few years ago, Josef Gingold, inter-nationally acclaimed professor of music at Indiana University and coach to the world's great violinists, conducted a class in Vancouver, B.C., for a select group of Canada's most gifted violin students. A trembling little boy and his shy sister were brought before Gingold. The chil-dren's teacher implored the master violin-ist to take but a moment to hear their music. "They know everything," the frustrated teacher told the great Gingold. "I can't teach them any more. Please, just listen." Gingold reluctantly agreed to grant the boy a brief audience. With a sister, Katja, accompanying him on the piano, Corey Cerovsek, who was 9 at the time, adjusted a tiny-1- 4 size violin beneath his little chin, eased the horsehair bow across the strings and played the most stirring and technically perfect version of "Al-legro Brilliant" Gingold had ever heard. "It was frightening, I'm telling you," the Russian-bor- n Gingold recalled. "This child scared me. This level of brilliance I've never seen in anybody." Gingold, a charter member of the NBC symphony under Arturo Toscanini and later concertmaster with the Cleveland Orchestra before coming to Indiana Uni-versity in 1960, invited Corey and Katja to come here to study with him. The beleaguered parents, Helmut and Sophia Cerovsek, packed the U-Ha- ul, the kids, the cats and moved 2,300 miles. Last fall, Corey became the youngest, fully enrolled student in the history of Indiana University. He weighs 66 pounds, wears braces, climbs trees, speaks three languages and plays an $85,000, 78 size Storioni violin made in 1789, two years before Mozart died. He also knows more about menopause than his mother. "He heard the word once and went to the library and read every book on meno-pause," said Sophia, 38. "He explained it to me." Corey can discuss the life of Albert Einstein or Michael Jackson with equal ease and enthusiasm and is as content playing the violin for neighborhood kids or the Queen of England, something he did last year in Toronto. "She's not as grouchy as she looks," he said. "She asked me the usual questions, like you are." Apparently Queen Elizabeth was intrigued. Corey has soloed with 12 major or-chestras in the U.S. and Canada, is a regular on Canadian TV, will play the role of the child Vivaldi in a CBC produc-tion this spring, graduated from the Uni-versity of Toronto's Royal Conservatory of Music at 12 with a gold medal for superior performance, is writing a novel, creating a new language on his computer and practices free throws each day, hoping to master the game of basketball. And he's a great kid, not a brooding little weirdo like you might expect. "I'm a kid," he says, slightly annoyed at the mere hint that he's different. "I hate the word prodigy. I really hate the word genius. It makes us sound like a different species." Many think this kid is the greatest intellect to attend Indiana University in its 123-ye- ar history. He's 13. He carries a double major, music and math, and maintains a perfect 4.0 average through 80 hours of the most demanding courses offered by the university. And then there's Katja, 15, who also maintains a perfect 4.0 average through 45 hours of class work. She made her orchestral debut at 10 with the Calgary Philharmonic, has soloed with eight major orchestras and graduated from the Royal Conservatory of Music at 13 with the highest piano marks in the country. She is the youngest student ever ac-cepted lor study by distinguished profes-sor Gyorgy Sebok, a world-clas- s pianist. "She is the most extraordinary piano tal ent in the school," he said. "She is so gifted, such a natural talent, I can't de-scribe it." Were he simply a musical prodigy, Corey's talents would be stunning, but his additional intellectual skills place him in another dimension. Charles Webb, dean of the 1,600-stude- nt School of Music, has taught 28 years, seen thousands of gifted kids come and go. Corey, he said, is beyond belief. Forget music. The kid knows everything. It's as if every bit of the world's accumulated knowledge is stored in this little boy's brain. "Corey is probably the most gifted stu-dent to ever attend Indiana University," Webb said. "I've never seen anything like it. His musical gifts alone qualify him as a genius. His perceptions, talents and abilities are unfathomable. In six months he passed every music theory course this university offers. No one has ever done 'that. And we have many of the brightest students in the world here." ! The math department was skeptical. It brought in the heavy guns to stump Corey. A faculty committee devised tests in linear algebra, differential equations and other brainbusters. Corey aced the tests with ease and asked for more. They had no more. "He answers questions before my voice quits vibrating. He hears things no one else hears," said Bob Reno, who attempted to teach Corey in a 19th-centur- y music literature course for honor students. "I couldn't. He knew everything." Gingold, 75, sits in his office beside a piano, surrounded by mountains of sheet music and autographed pictures of the world's great violinists. The bottom but-tons of his maroon sweater strain against his huge stomach. He sputters, searching for words to explain his discovery. "I've never seen five great talents rolled into one as with this boy. He's a musician, a mathematician, he paints, he writes songs, he composes music. This is' frightening. "Corey is so intelligent it scares me. How else could he know things no one told him? He seems to know everything. He knows things he's never been told or read." Helmut, the father, just shrugs. He's an engineer, he says, and has trouble with situations that can't be explained with a slide rule. "I see things in black and white. I don't know what to make of these children, to be blunt. Sometimes it's like living in a fantasyland. I just go to work and love them." Both parents were born and raised in Austria, graduated from college and re-port nothing in their genetic backgrounds to explain their children's great gifts. Katja was born in Austria before the family immigrated to Canada in 1970. Helmut chose to avoid Austria's manda-tory military duty. Corey was born in Vancouver, B.C., in 1972 and spent the first three weeks of his life in a coma of undetermined origin, which the doctors couldn't explain. When -- Katja was 2, Sophia played "Old McDonald" on the family piano and sang the words in German. Katja climbed on the piano and repeated the tune perfectly. At 4 she taught herself to read. Corey also taught himself to read at 4. At 5 he was reading library medical books and studying kidney disease, searching for a cure. He's still searching but hasn't given up. On his 5th birthday, Sophia bought him a miniature violin. He inspected it, plucked the strings and started playing Mozart. He didn't even know who Mozart was. At 6, Corey received a silver medal from the University of Toronto's presti gious Royal Conservatory of Music. At 9 he defeated 3,000 musicians to win the overall Canadian Music Competitions in piano, violin and ensemble, an unprec-edented feat. "People ask me what did I feed them. Did I play music to them in the womb?" Sophia says. "I did nothing. I didn't even read to them. It beefs me when people ask such questions." She's refused to have the kids' IQs tested or have them studied or probed in any way. They're kids, not guinea pigs, she says. Interviewing Corey is a tricky task. Ask him a question and he shoots back with 50 more. He can't control himself; he wants to know everything, a child's natural curiosity gone berserk. Do you like being a reporter, asking people per sonal questions? What kind of car do you drive? Volvos have great engine compres-sion. You have a computer? What kind? How many bytes? Students at Indiana University rank basketball almost above beer and sex in matters of great importance. Corey heard about this and naturally had to check it out. He settled himself with 17,000 other screaming fans and within five minutes had extracted every bit of basketball knowledge from his companions, ran it through his brain and understood the game perfectly. By half-tim- e he was analyzing the action, who had how many fouls, how many points, the best inside shooters, best outside shooters. Helmut was baffled by the game, but Corey explained it to him. When the game went into overtime, Corey was computing various mathemat-ical possibilities required for a Hoosier victory. When Indiana won the game, he was yelling and screaming like a true college student. "This is the most exciting thing I've seen in my life, more exciting than playing for the queen!" he shouted. Helmut later installed a basket on the garage, and Corey is working to perfect his game. KOME ZVONE ZVONA? Naucnici smtraju da su prva zvona odjeknula u Kini pre cetiri hiljade go-din- a.

Na stoci, teglecoj marvi i u karava-nim- a, zvuk zvona omogucavao je da stada i putnici ostanu na okupu po mraku, magli i pescanim burama, a verovalo se i da ima moc da ih stiti. Zvona su sluzila u naseljima i da oglase pozar, napad na grad, ili samo da oznace podne. Kasnije od 11. veka nase ere svi hriscanski hramovi na svetu snabdeveni su zvonima, ali i tad su pored verske ona imala i svetovnu ulogu.
