It ' s that time of year again when employees have an opportunity to choose which medical plan they want for their medical coverage. This year, we offer the Connecticut General Plan, Anchor HMO, Dreyer HMO, HMO Illinois (HAP), and CIGNA HMO. A summary and comparison of the medical options, along with cost, was mailed to employees' mail stations. Employees should re-view the information with their families.
The HMO n~presentatives are scheduled to meet with employees in Ramsey Auditorium on Monday, September 12, 1988, at 8:00 a.m., 10:00 a.m., 1:00 p.m., and 3:00 p.m. Employees consid-ering an HMO should attend one of these meet-ings. Spouses are welcome.

THE SAFETY SECTION When assessing those factors that contribute to
the overall success of Fermilab's research effort, one must always be aware that, in addition to the Fer-milab community's dedication and diligence, safety plays a vital role in that success.
Fermilab operations and experiments often re-quire people to work long and sometimes unusual schedules. From time to time, we may also work alone in remote areas. Whenever you are working alone, working irregular hours, or working in a re-mote area, be sure that a co-worker, supervisor, or colleague is aware of your location and schedule.
Additionally, people who leave personal vehicles or assigned university vehicles on site while traveling should be sure to notify someone at the Lab that they are leaving the vehicle unattended. Vehicles some-times need to be moved for snow removal or parking-lot improvements. Security has a form which can be used to arrange for long-term vehicle parking while owners/drivers are on Lab business or returning to a home institution.
Thank you for your attention to these important matters. We encourage your continued diligence.

Acclaimed Chicago Pro Musica to Perform at Fermilab The Grammy Award-winning Chicago Pro
Musica made history in 1986 at the National Acad-emy of Recording Arts and Sciences as the only en-semble ever to receive the award for ''Best New Clas-sical Artist.'' This internationally acclaimed ensem-ble inaugurates the 1988-1989 Fermilab Chamber Music Series on Sunday evening, September 25, 1988, at 7:30 p.m. with works by American and Rus-sian composers.
The virtuoso talents of the musicians of the Chicago Pro Musica will be highlighted in a perform-ance of Stravinsky's landmark Twentieth Century
composition, L'Histoire du Soldat (The Soldier's Tale), with WFMT-FM Radio's Carl Grapentine nar-rating the familiar fable of the soldier who "lets the devil take his fiddle and call the tune.'' The Pro Musica will also perform the Chicago-area premieres
-·of two works written especially for the ensemble: The Clarinet in My Mind by University of Illinois Professor Paul Martin Zonn and The Meteln Kas-sandra by Chicago composer Frank Abbinanti.
The Chicago Pro Musica includes ensemble founder and leader John Bruce Yeh, clarinet; Willard

"Pro Musica" continued from page 1 Elliot, bassoon; George Vosburgh, trumpet and cor-net; Charles Vernon, trombone; Daniel Gingrich, horn; Albert Igolnikov, violin; Joseph Guastafeste, string bass; and James Ross, percussion. They have performed regularly to critical acclaim and en-thusiastic audiences throughout the United States, in nationally-broadcast "live" studio concerts on WFMT-FM Radio, at the Chamber Music Festival at Bahnhof Rolandseck in West Germany, and most recently in Perth, Australia. Carl Grapentine, a WFMT-FM program host since 1986, is also well known as the ''voice'' of the University of Michigan Marching Band and as a baritone soloist and music director in the Chicago area.
