Free ( By JULIE WEI The University of Michigan Javanese Gamelan will give its annual summer open-air concert at 7 p.m. tonight on The Uni- versity of Michigan School of Music grounds. Admission is free. If it rains tonight, the concert will be held tomorrow night. Since 1969, the outdoor game- Ian concert beside the School of Music pond has been as much a part of summer in Ann Arbor as the Street Art Fair and the Jazz Festival. Each aummer adults and children flock to the School of Music grounds to listen to traditional Javanese music played on the gamelan, the ensemble consist- ing of hanging bronze gongs or suspended bronze slabs, gradu- ated xylophone-style, the bowed fiddle (rebab), the flute (sul- ing) and male or female vocal- ists. Prof. Judith Becker, who has studied the gamelan in Java, continues to direct the ensem- ble. Featured in this concert will be a guest artist, Sumar- tono Prawirosusanto. Sumar- tono will do the Klana Topeng dance, or the Dance of King Klana, an ancient masked dance of Java. King Klana, according to Prof. Becker, is a demonic king who has magical powers. His is a dance of love and pas- sion describing his various moods as he thinks of his loved one. The story is part of tradi- tional folklore and is told in the dance by stylized movements. Sumartono, who will do the dance, is currently a student of physics as the University of Wisconsin, but like many Java- nese, he has danced since boy- hood, and is an unusually fine dancer for an amateur, Prof. Becker notes. The gamelan performers are students of Prof. Becker. They are mostly graduate students from many different disciplines in the University. Each per- former has to attend Prof. Becker's courses in gamelan performance before qualifying for the gamelan,. Every year Prof. Becker gets more appli- cations for the gamelan than she can find places for. "Although gamelan music be- longs to a completely different system of music from Western music, it is perhaps the most accessible kind of Asian music to Western ears. This may be due to the tone quality of the instruments, which does not vio- pond NEW YORK (A) - The Plat- ters, a group which sold more than 75 million records of such songs as "The Great Pretend- er," "My Prayer" and "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes," is having trouble with groups saying they are the Platters Bock Rim, the group's com- poser-arranger and manager, has a registired patent on the name The Platters.

Columbia Record's DIANA MARKOVITZ late Western norms of aesthe- tics as do other kinds of Asian sounds," Prof. Becker says. "Western concepts of melody, harmony, and rhythm do not properly apply to gamelan mu- sic, which operates on a prin- ciple of cyclic time rather than linear time as in Western mus- ic. Time cycles are marked off by a stroke on the largest gong. These cycles are further sub- divided by strokes on the other sets of bronze instruments of the ensemble playing different subdivisions, perceived as fast- er or slower melodies. The different instruments playing different melodies at different speeds produce a rich polyphony. There are two tun- ing systems and various modes of composition, each mode dis- tinguished by peculiar melodic contours and cadential patterns. Lacking a system of detailed notation, gamelan music has been transmitted down the cen- turies by rote. Javanese learn their music by listening and participating, and the popular involvement in music and dance is much greater than in the West." Tonight's program will in- clude several perennial Java- nese favorites. Performers will wear traditional batiks. The audience is encouraged to bring blankets and mosquito repellents.

NEXT WEEKEND:;Paul Newman Weekend HOMBRE and WUSA By WESLEY G. PIPPERT WHEATON 11. (UPI) - C. S. Lewis, he English scholar and "apostle to skeptics and intel- lectuals" whose death in 1963 was overshadowed by John F. Kennedy's assassination t h e same days, is undergoing a re- vival of public interest in his reflections on Christian faith. When former White H o u s e special counsel Charles W. Col- son told of his conversion to Christianity last December, he saidtone of the reasons was a. chapter in Lewis' book, More Christianity, which concerned the sin of arrogance. "Arrogance was the great sin of Watergate," said Colson, who has since pleaded guilty to ob- struction of justice, "I think the greatest sin all of us a r e guilty of, and it's the hardest. one to recognize, is putting our own ego, our own selves, really~ believing that we as individ- uals have capacities that we de- velop m ourselves," Lewis' books are getting to be campus bestsellers, more popu- arty books and articles publish- ed about Lewis. Now, Wheaton College, in the outlying suburbs west of Chi- cago, has become the repository for one of the world's leading collections of Lewis works and memorabilia, ranking alongside Oxford University's Bodleian Library. Dr Clyde S. Kilby, professor of literature at Wheaton and a foremost Lewis scholar, h a s plans to build a replica of Lewis' house on the campus by 1988 as a permanent home for the collection he began in 1965. Upkeep of the collectiol will be financed by a $20000 grant in memory of Marion E. Wade, founder of ServiceMaster Inc., a suburban Chicago janitorial firm, who died last fall. Wade, like Colson, admired Mere Christianity and quoted from his heavily underlined copy at sales meetings. Kilby is working to acquire the first editions of all works by Lewis and his literary com- panions, including Charles Wil- liams, J. R. R. Tolkien, C.
