CIC Brings Combined
Celebrate American Jazz Origins Ideas to National Focus

By KAY HOLMES
Amid the competitive world
space race and concern over
missile miscarriages, scientific
Americans can be secure in the
knowledge of one uniquely Ameri-
can achievement - the creation
and conception of jazz, America's
contribution to world culture.
Recognizing the strictly Ameri-
can origin, of jazz, Jazz Scene '65
will be held at the University
from Thursday through Sunday,
during "American Week." Organ-
ized by Dave Lundin, Grad, and
sponsored jointly by the Interna-
tional Students Association and
the University Activities Center,
this is the first professional jazz
festival to be held in Ann Arbor.
The festival will begin Thurs-
day with a lecture on "Jazz in the
American Perspective" by Bettyj
Chmaj, teacher and scholar in
the field of American Studies,
and the "Dorothy Ashby Trio"
from Detroit's Cafe Gourmet. Miss
Chmaj will speak of jazz in rela-
tion to other American arts, with
visual illustrations, readings from
literature, and musical demonstra-
tions by the Dorothy Ashby Trio.
Contribution
Speaking of her longstanding
interest in jazz, Miss Chmaj said:
"It is not only that jazz is a
major contribution to world cul-
ture, jazz is more closely related
to the life and times of our coun-
try than most art forms. When
painting, literature, and jazz are
set side by side, you recognize
something both about them and
about yourself as an American
from what they have in common."
The Ashby Trio is a mainstay
on the Detroit jazz scene. Down
Beat poll winner, Miss Ashby is
the only jazz harpist playing both
chords and melody. The group
records on the Argo label and has
appeared on the Tonight and the
Today shows. They use a softsell
approach to jazz.

speech.
Although Michigan did not send
any scholars during the 1963-64
season, 13 scholars visited here
under the program. They were'
enrolled in such disciplines as po-
litical science, physics and psy-
chology.

The traveling scholar program
was set up on a temporary basis
for the 1963-64 and 1964-65 sea-
son, with the stipulation that at
the end of the two year period
it would be decided whether or
not the program would become
permanent. This proposal is now
under consideration.
"The CIC has done much to
improve the image of the educa-
tion offered at these 11 ma-
jor midwestern universities," Wil-
liams commented. "Through this
project we have tried to make
the best use out of the available
resources at each university in-
volved."
About 1956 the presidents of the
Big 10 universities of the Midwest
realized the need for the best
)ossible research available. With
this thought in mind they decided
to form the CIC.
In 1958 they received a grant
from the Carnegie Corporation in
New York which enabled them to
begin the program.
Each of the interested universi-
ties appointed one administrative
officer to form CIC. At this first
