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."

Grenada inva
WASHINGTON (AP) ? 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.

30 Soviet advisers and 600 Cubans stationed
on the island nation had been "
secured." 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.
O'Neil said the troops would fe in
Grenada "five to seven days or less."

said "that seems unlikely, but it's the
goal."
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."
