Foremost Folklorist
Ld.. i A Kentuckian, by birth, Niles
has often been described as
"America's Foremost Folklorist."
s He received his early musical edu-
cation from his father, a ballad
singer, and from his mother, a
church organist.
At fifteen he had mastered mu-
sical shorthand and had begun to
set down the ballads his father
sang an dthe negro spirituals he
heard in Louisville's Cabbage

McMullen Prizewinning Art
To Be Shown at Rackhamr
r
By HENRY FINNEY
A first Ann Arbor showing of
paintings by artist E. Ormond
McMullen will be opened at 6
p.m. tonight in the east room of
Rackham Art Gallery..
Sponsoring the exhibit will be
the University Press Club of Mich-
igan and the journalism dept.
Four works on display have won
first prizes at exhibits in Norwalk,
Springfield, Mass., and Coopers-
town, N.Y. McMullen also received
a bronze medal in 1921 for figure
drawing from the National Acad-I
emy of Design.
Commenting on how previous
training in advertising art has af-
fected his painting, McMullen ex-
plained that he tries first to at-
tract the attention of exhibition'
juries with his works and then
tries to please the critics who will
judge them.
"They want stuff that will stop
people," McMullen noted. "Juries
want something different."
McMullen is a member of the
American Watercolor Society and
the Salmagundi Club for artists in
New York City.,
A 1915 graduate of the Art In-
stitute of Chicago, the 75 year old
artist worked in advertising art
before he retired to turn his full
attention to watercolor painting.
McMullen now lives in Evert,
Michigan.
The display in Rackham will be
open from 6 to 10 p.m. today, 10
a.m. to 10 p.m. tomorrow and
fron 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday.

Humphrey
Still Hopes
For Savings
WASHINGTON tP) - Secretary
of the Treasury Hubert Humphrey
was described yesterday as still
hopeful the Pentagon can come
up in thehnext nine months with
"something like" a billion dollars
in new savings, despite a some-
what doubtful report from Secre-
tary of Defense Charles Wilson.
The high-level administration
source who reportedthis said Wil-
son had conducted a thoroughgo-
ing survey of the armed services'
spending programs and had told
Humphrey that at this time it ap-
peared militarily unwise to cut
service spending further than al-
ready planned.
During succeeding years, Niles
served in the United States Air
Force and studied at the Cincin-
nati Conservatory of Music. How-
ever, his chief work was the con-
tinuous research and scholarly
pursuit which enabled him to com-
pile the largest collection of folk
music existing in the English
speaking world.
Much of Niles' collection has
been published in both solo and
chorale form.
Uses Own Material
Widely acclaimed, the unique
troubadour is the only folk singer
living who has never used material
fromany collection but his own.
from any collection but his own.
During his programs, Niles em-
ploys instruments called dulcimers
which he designs and constructs
himself. The dulcimers, adjusted
to various modes and .keys, pro-
vide accompaniment.
Driving Ban
Group Meets
(Continued from Page 1)
whether the student favored the
present driving ban, whether he
had a car on campus at the time
and, if not, whether he would
have one were there no restric-
tiois.
Streiff said that the committee
would not use the IBM system of
codifying the cards because "the
amount of time and money in-
volved is too great."
Specific information desired will
be obtained by hand-sorting.
Other main parts of the com-
mittee meeting in the Administrar-
tion Bldg. concerned a brief re-
view of the Health Service statis-
tical report issued last year by
former Service head Warren For-
sythe.
A brief rundown on the history
Iof the 28-year-old driving ban was
also given, showing incidents in-
volving its legality and requests
for modification presented to the
Regents by such bodies as the now
defunct Studlent Legislature.
The driving ban study commit-
tee was set up last year . upon
recommendation of Student Gov-
ernment Council and request of
University President H a r 1 a n
Hatcher.
It is the first time that stu-
de.nts, administration' officials,
faculty and townspeople have met
jointly to discuss a mutual prob-
lem.
Absent from yesterday's meet-
ing were SGC representative Bill
Diamond, '56 E, and Ann Arbor
Bank President Rudolph E. Reich-
ert.
