CIC Brings Combined Celebrate American Jazz Origins Ideas to National Focus { The Gilbert & Sullivan Society presents . 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. (Continued from Page 1) tuition of whichever school was lower.

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. Penningtoll Gets Award Prof. Arthur J. Pennington of the electrical engineering depart- ment has been named the 1965 winner of the Henry Russel' 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.
