Eclipse Jazz, the non-profit collective that has worked diligently in re-establishing jazz in Ann Arbor, is sponsoring an eclectic program which promises to bring out the best in both traditional and avantigarde jazz. The Eclipse season, entitled Jazz: The American Classic, opens Sep- tember 17 with Jean-Luc Ponty. Ponty has worked with Frank Zappa, George Duke, and the Mahavishnu Orchestra and is currently the fore- most violinist of the jazz-rock fusion. Ponty will be followed by saxo- phonist Sonny Rollins, whose inven- tiveness and fluidity has made him one of the most respected men in jazz today. On October 21 Dexter Gordon, the father of the bebop tenor sax, will perform at the Power Center. Gordon is back from an extended stay in Europe, and offers listeners a rare chance to hear one of the most NEW INDIAN HISTORY WASHINGTON (AP) - Chicago's Newberry Library recently received a grant to prepare an Atlas of Great Lakes Indian History. The atlas will deal with Indian history and Indian-white relations in the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley region from 1615 to 1871. It will cover such disruptions to Indian life as inter-tribal warfare, refugee move- ments, epidemics, international treaties, encroachment by white settlers and the establishment of reservations and land allotments. The grant of $173,642 was made by the National Endowment for the Humanities. influential musicians of modern jazz. Following Gordon will be the Art Ensemble of Chicago. Encompassing such diverse elements at classical music, African culture, and tradi- tional jazz forms, the Ensemble have proven themselves to be a major force in, today's music. The final Eclipse concert is the great piano soloist Oscar Peterson. Playing in the style of the swing era and with a strong blues-oriented power, Peter- son has been called the most articu- late and all-consuming pianist since Art Tatum. In addition to their five concert schedule, Eclipse Jazz' and the Residential College have joined forces to present 'Bright Moments', a series of four concert-workshops in East Quad auditorium. The concerts will showcase mostly solo and duet performances by lesser known jazz artists representing a variety of styles.The series has been dedicated to Rahsaan Roland Kirk in recogni- tion and celebration of his artistry and unique spirit. A joint concert and poetry reading by saxophonist Marion Brown and poet Jodi Braxton will open the series on September 23. Violinist Leroy Jenkins of the Revolutionary En- semble will perform solo on October 7. Air Trio (Henry Threadgill, Fred Hopkins and Steve McCall) will appear in early December. All. 'Bright Moments' tickets will be priced between two and three dol- lars. Since Eclipse is a non-profit organ- ization and is funded in part by the National Endowment For The Arts, ticket prices are less expensive than comparable shows in other cities. Ticket prices for Jazz: The American Classic range between $3.50 general admission for Rollin and the Art Ensemble to $3.50-$5.50 reserved seats for Ponty, Gordon, and Peterson. Season tickets are offered at a discount price. For information call Eclipse at 763-1107.

You've got a de- cent job, or at least it's going to be someday. Maybe you've even got a couple bucks in the bank. And plans, you've got plenty of them. Life is just a bowl of cherries, right? Ex- cept it's not. Something's missing. And you're begin- ning to come up empty. Get- ting out of bed used to be easy, now it's not anymore. And you've begun to look at yourself, right to the inside, and you're asking, is that all there is? Well, it's not, you know. Not even close. There's the Peace Corps. Maybe it'll be teaching nutrition. Or building a schoolhouse. Or clearing a field so the people in the vil- lage you serve can adopt a new habit: eating everyday. You came to-the Peace Corps to give and you've gotten. You've learned a language. Discovered a new culture. Found out about life: theirs. Yours. Morning has become an adventure again}. Sure, the hours are long andhard and the bread is lousy. But some- times, putting bread in some- one's mouth can be more re- warding to you than all the bread in your pocket. The Peace Corps is alive and well. Join the Peace Corps. Call toll free: 800-424-8580.
