I’m Melanie,the one who’sbeen calling.　　Manager:　　From the singinggroup, right?　　Student:　　From the choir.　　Manager:　　Right,the choir. It’snice to finally meet you in person.So, you are having problemswith...　　Student:　　Noise.Like I explained on the phone we’ve alwayshad our rehearsalsin the LincolnAuditorium every day at 3 o’clock and it’s always worked just great. But the past few weeks with the noise,it’sbeen a total nightmaresinceconstructions started nextdoor on thesciencehall.　　Manager:　　Oh, that’sright. They’rebuilding that addition for new laboratories.　　Student:　　Exactly. Anyway, ever sincethey started working on it,it’sbeen sonoisy wecan barely hear ourselvessing.　　Manager:　　Letalone sing.　　Student:　　Forgetabout singing.I mean,wekeep the windowsdownand everything, but once thosebulldozersget going, I mean　　thosemachinesare loud. We’ve already had to cutshort two rehearsalsand we’ve got a concert in 6weeks.　　Manager:　　Well, that’snot good. I’m assuming you’vetried to rescheduleyour rehearsals.They don’tdo construction work atnight.　　Student:　　I ran that by the group, but there werejusttoo many. I meanevenings arereally hard. It seemslike everyone inthe choir　　already has plans and someevenhave classes at night.　　Manager:　　And what about the musicbuilding?　　Student:　　You know, originally wewerebooked in one ofthe rehearsalroomsin the music building,but then weswitched withthe　　jazzensemble.They’re a muchsmaller group and they saidthe acoustics,the sound inthat room, wasbetter forthem.　　So having usmoved to a bigger spacelikethe Lincoln Auditorium seemedlike a reasonableidea.　　Manager:　　Butnow...　　Student:　　Allthat noise.I don’tknow. Ijust wonderifthe jazzensembleknew what wasgoing to happen.　　Manager:　　Well, that wouldn’tbe very nice.　　Student:　　No. Butit reallywasquite a coincidence.Anyway, now the musicbuilding’s fullybooked, mornings,afternoons,　　everything, wejust needa quiet space.And it hasto have a piano.　　Manager:　　A piano. Ofcourse someof theother auditoriums have pianos, but that’s not going to beeasy.　　Student:　　You think they’re pretty booked up?　　Manager:　　Probably. Butit can’t hurt to check.

You said no evenings,but what ifI can’t findsomething open at 3 o’clock?　　Can you moveearlieror later?　　Student:　　I wish Icould say another timewould beokay, but you know how it is,everybody’salready got commitmentsfor the　　wholesemester2:30 or 3:30 would probably beokay, but I don’t think wecould go much outsidethat　　Manager:　　Well, check with metomorrow morning. I should’ve found something by then. It might not be ideal...　　Lecture1　　Narrator:　　Listen to apart oflecturein a geology class　　Professor:　　Now there aresomepretty interesting cavesin parts ofthe westernUnitedStates,　　especialy innational parks.
