Spoleto Festival U.S.A. <* b mm otters savings on tickets CHARLESTON (AP) ? General Manager Philip Semark today unveiled Spoleto Festival U.S.A.'s subscription series and weekend packages for 1984, noting festival goers can save as much as 25 percent by ordering now for next May's festival. Semark said 1984 tickets would cost "marginally more. F.ssentiallv the nricinc at the festival the nast two vears has been stable." But he added while the most expensive tickets are up in price, prices for less expensive tickets are somewhat lower. He said that's in keeping with the aim of making the festival accessable to as many people as possible. Next year's festival will be highlighted by the production of three operas ? Franz Lehar's "The Merry Widow," Richard Strauss' "Ariadne auf Naxos" and "Juana La Loca" by festival founder Gian Carlo Mennotti. Drama presentations include the American premieres of David Williamson's "The Perfectionist" and Nigel Trifitt's "Secrets," while the Paul Taylor Dance Company and the Pacific Northwest Ballet are the major attractions in the dance segment of the lineup. One of the subscription series includes six opening night performances at the Gaillard Auditorium as well as the opening night gala party for "The Merry Widow." The flyer being mailed out this week to announce the special subscription series includes full color pictures and splashy graphics. "It's part of an aggressive marketing campaign. One of the reasons I came to Spoleto and what the board saw in me was an agressive marketing campaign," Semark said. He said an agressive effort is needed because 'the economic climate is such that in the past three or four years we've been is a recession and the arts are last to come out of a recession."

President Ronald Reagan said yesterday he ordered the invasion of Grenada because a large number of Americans were in great danger from a new government run by "a brutal group of leftist *\ugs," adding the United States had "no choice but to act strongly and decisively." lhe early morning landing ot 1,800 U.S. and 300 Caribbean troops on Grenada was "completely successful" in its initial stages, Reagan said. Later, Reagan said the U.S. forces had sustained casualties. PENTAGON SOURCES, speaking anonymously, said they understood the casualties had been suffered by Army Rangers, but had no details.

The Cubans, he said, would be allowed to leave on a Cuban ship now in a Grenadian harbor. The handling of the Soviets, he said, was still under consideration. At mid-morning, another official reported "there is still some ground fire" but added that initial antiaircraft fire encountered by the landing helicopters had been "suppressed." The president said in his nationally broadcast announcement that he wanted to withdraw the American soldiers "as quickly as possible." HOUSE SPEAKER Thomas P.

Reagan said the overriding purpose of the operation was to protect the lives of about 1,000 Americans on the island, including 750 medical students who have been unable to leave their quarters after a coup last week in which one leftist faction overthrew the x, ) government, which was also leftist. The prime minister and three Cabinet members were killed. Reagan said he had three reasons for acting: the safety of the Americans, "to forestall further chaos and third to assist in the restoration of conditions of law and order and of governmental institutions on the island of Grenada where a brutal group of leftist thugs violently seized power."
