German Expatriate's Newest Suite To Be Featured Today Founded in 1890; Has LongHistory The Michigan League, center of campus women's activity, is a constantly expanding organization with a fascinating history. Today the League plays an important part in the life of every woman student at the University but things were not always so.

The chairman of each League committee is present along with other League officials, and, under the leadership of League president Jennie Quirk, new ideas are discussed and schedules planned.

A.F11 DL LEAGUE PRESIDENT JENNIE QUIRK PRESIDES OVER EXECUTIVE COUNCIL MEETING. -A 'A A PROFI The newest composition of Al- bert Hosl, German composer cur- rently residing in Ann Arbor, will be given its first public perform- ance on the WUOM German Hour at 4 p.m. today. The work, "Suite for Viola Alone," has been dedicated to Prof. Paul Doktor of the music school, who will play the piece over the air. * * * A NATIVE of Munich, Germany, composer-violist Hosl is literally a musician's musician, for he is a Baxter Named To Botany Post Prof. Dow V. Baxter, professor of forest pathology and professor of botany in the School of Fores- try and Conservation, has been selected president of the forest botany section of the Internation- al Botanical Congress. Baxter, the first American so honored, has left Ann Arbor to at- tend the Congress meeting in July in Stockholm, Sweden. The Congress is the only all in- clusive congress in the field of botany, according to Dean Samuel Dana of the Forestry School. Bands' Awards Prof. William D. Revelli, con- ductor of the University Bands, presented awards to 55 members of the Marching and Symphonic Bands during a picnic at the Dex- ter-Huron Metropolitan Park Sun- day. A special award for five years of service went to Warren Bellis. Donald Lupp and Bernard Leut- holtz received blankets for four years of service apiece.

Hosl came here from Ger - many with his American wife a little over a year ago. Since his arrival he has been composing and giving private music lessons to advanced students. Hosl began his musical training under his father's direction. He eventually became a violist with the Munich String Quartet, and, from 1922 to 1935 he worked un- der Bruno Walter in the Munich State Opera Orchestra. He has been unaffiliated with any or- chestra since 1935, and has mainly devoted his time to composition. * * * DURING THE WAR HosI and his wife led a semi-secluded life in Munich. 'The government left us alone," he said, "and I was free to continue my work, but because my wife is an American we were watched continuously," he said. Musicians should not have to be bothered with matters of pol- itics and government, Hosl feels. "Musicians are in the world to make music," he said. "Music is an art, and we are its servants." The dedication of the work to be played tomorrow has a story behind it, according to Hosl. "Dok- tor was visiting in my home the day the manuscript was finished," he explained. "Though the ink was still wet, he picked it up and played it so magnificently that I decided I must dedicate the piece to him," he said. DANCING INSTRUCTORS MR. AND M IS.
