I EXPIRES NOVEMBER 30, 1980 -----------------.- By DENNIS HARVEY Avant-garde composer Philip Glass nd his ensemble will be bringing their nique fusion of classical, Eastern and minimalist musical influences to Rackham Auditorium November .7 at 8:00 p.m. This Eclipse Jazz presen- tation will afford Ann Arbor listeners a chance to experience what has become increasingly recognized as the core of a new "classicism"-music based around a rhythmic rather than a tonal structure, compositions that have been hailed as "reducing music to its basic elements, so that the introduction of a Snew chord, a chance in the color or tex- ture of the sound or. a change in dynamics is startling and revealing." Glass has found a wider audience than any of his comtemporaries in the minimal/ambient/etc. genre, influen- cing the works of rock artists such as David Bowie, and fueling the ex- perimental compositions of Robert Fripp and Brian Eno. Dissatisfied with writing music based around "the ac- * cepted synthesis of influences" in stan- dard modern orchestral works, he ex- plored different forms in North Africa, India and Tibet in the mid- and late 1960's, at one point studying with the legendary sitar player Ravi Shankar. Einstein on the Beach, a four-and-a- half-hour opera structured around dreamily repetitive aural and visual landscapes, was created with Robert Wilson in 1976 and staged to sold-out audiences at New York's Metropolitan Opera House. Last month his second opera, entitled Satyagraha and depic- ting incidents from the early life of Mahatma Gandhi, opened in Rotter- dam amidst the expected controversy and intense critical discussion. A third opera, drawing parallels between the Akhenaton and Dedalus myths, is ten- tatively scheduled-to debut in 1983. Glass has also been delving recently in the possibilities of merging his tran- ce-like style with the energy of rock, and co-produced the current album of RCA's group Polyrock. The Philip Glass Ensemble consists of flutes, electronic organs, bass syn- thesizer, saxophones, and soprano voice. Tickets for the Rackham concert are on sale at the Michigan Union box- office, at $7.50 each; in addition to this performance, Glass will lecture and answer questions at the U. of M. School of Music November 7 at 1 p.m., and the following day at the same time and location.- DOWN VESTS Eclipse Jazz will present composer Philip Glass and his ensemble in concert at Rackham Auditorium Friday, November 7, at 8:00 p.m. Glass' work, in- cluding the epic'avant-garde opera Einstein on the Beach, have been hugely influential in popularizing the musical forms variously known as "ambient" and "minimalist," built around repetitive, dreamlike chords broken by gradual shifts in tonal direction. Tickets are currently on sale at the Michigan Union box-office at $7.50; lectures by Glass are also scheduled at the School of Music.

William. Miller said yesterday. He told reporters at a luncheon that Iran has made several flights of large 747 cargo planes to North Korea to pick up the supplies, but, did not know how much assistance would be provided in the long run. j ..ther U.S. officials familiar with the situation indicatea puzzlement aNrth ' orea's move to aid tftIrstiians in the continuing war. ONE OFFICIAL, who asked not to be identified, said North Korea needs the money it can make froip supplying the Iranians: but also wants the friendship of Iraq and other Arab countries. North Korea intends to play a leading role among nonaligned nations, a group in which Iraq is prominent. North Korea gets most of its arms from the Soviet Union and China, although it also manufactures some ammunition of its owp, U.S. officials said. Iraq's major supplier is the Soviet Union. The United States has not provided spare parts to the Iranians since the seizure of American hostages at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran nearly a year ago. Parts for U.S.-built military equipment are extremely difficult to buy elsewhere on the world arms market, Miller said. THE UNITED States has offered to provide surveillance information to friendly countries in the Persian Gulf region to lessen the threat of air attacks resulting fron the war between Iraq and Iran. Meanwhile, the Carter ad- ministration is going through with plans to supply Jordan with 100 tanks With sophisticated targeting equip- ment, despite an apparent setback in U.S. efforts to encourage that country to maintain its neutrality in the Iraq- Iran war.

He announced new reductions which, stretched over a year, will cut aid to BOSTON (AP)-Massachusetts residents burned almost a million cords of wood to heat their homes during the winter 'of 1978-79, equal to what all of New England burned in 1976. The increase, evidently a response to rising fuel prices, may stretch the state's forests to their cuttable limits in just three years, perhaps force wood prices higher than oil and raise new questios concerning air pollution and fire danger. Those are conclusions of the first statewide survey of home wood use in the state. The report covered only the winter of 1978-79 and was released recently by the Berkshire-Franklin Resource Conservation and Develop- ment group. colleges by $26 million, $18 million in welfare, and $18 million in the troubled Mental Health Department f9rcing the closing of the Michigan Institute for Mental Healfh at Dimondale. Cuts detailed totaled $80 million and other miscellaneous reductions bring the total to $116 million. EVEN WITH the cuts, which include a five per cent reduction in general assistance payments, the state Depar- tment of Social Services and the prison and state police agencies will run out of funds in December-before the 90 day period expires-unless a new budget is adopted, Milliken said. He also stressed anew the need for new revenue sources, including lifting an income tax exemption for military personnel. , 1;'i Li 1980 OCTOBER 19-25 Applications for the Homecoming Court are now available at the U.A.C. office, 2105 Michigan Union, ---- 763-1107 _ , _ i I Sit down and get into perfect shape.
