A NEW DOME.
One of Steel for Unicersity Hall.
The extensive building which has
been undertaken about the campus
this season is now nearing its close.
The chemistry addition is complete,
the new Law Building will be ready
for use Monday and after the work
on the University Hall is out of the
way, the rest is easy. The iron con-
tractorshave worried Supt. Reeves
not a little. They were unable to get
the I beams from Carnegie and Phipps
who control the output and thus the
work is at least 30 days slow. How-
ever the other workmen have been
busy. About fifteen carpenters
and the same number of painters
have been at work on the repairs
and extensions. Eight tons of pure
white lead have been used so far in
the work.
After the grading is finished about
the Law Building, a new cement
walk will be laid. In place of the
dome on University Hall a large solid
TRACK MEN OUT.
Fall Training for Track Athletics
Began testerday.
About twenty men answered Cap.
tain McLeans call for fall practice in
in track athletics which began yester-
day afternoon and will be kept up
just as long as the weather will per-
mit the men to work out of doors.
The main object of this fall practice
is to get the new athletes who enter
college this fall acquainted with the
old men and to bring out new mater-
ial for the track team next spring.
No fall meet will be held according
to the present intentions of the
management.
Indications point to the most suc.
cessful season in track athletics for
next spring that Michigan has seen
for several years. Most all of the
old men will be back and in addition
to these many very promising candi-
dates have entered college and take
part in the fall practice. These men

The executive committee of the
Good Government Club held their-
first meeting of the year yesterday
afternoon. They have nearly com-
pleted arrangements for a course of
lectures by prominent men on reforn
and economic topics to be given dur-
iig the coming year.
Last year was suchi t successful
one for the club that they determineii
to continue their work on a much
larger scale. Six lectures are to be
given by sues who are acknowledged:
authorities in their particular sib-
jects.
The first lecture it the course wil
be delivered by Wis. D. Foulke, o
Indiana, on "Civil Service Reform."
Mr. Foulke has an extensive lecture
list and a definite engagement was-
fortunately secured from biu eary
in the summer.
A second lecturer will be It.
Herbert Welsh, of Philadelphia He
will speak on "The Struggle 1ott
Good Government in America." Mr
Welsh is one of the finest orators is
the East and like Mr. Foulke ha-
for years been engaged in ref orm
work along political lines.
Prof. Tausig, of Harvard, sil
speak on "Taxation." He is a grea.
student of finance and is cosideret
by many an authority in his line /
study.
Eugene V. Debs will leeture o
"The Laboring Man's Interest i
Good Government.' He has long
teet in close toucil sith the Aer-
can storking an and his appearantue
in this course will be his first wit
before an Ann Arbor audience.
The fifth susisber of the course is
one still open. The club, however,
holds an option on three men, all of
great state or national prominence.
The last lecture will be given biy
William Jennings Pryan on "The
Income Tax." He has assured the
club that he will certainly come to
Ann Arbor unless the unexpectedtl
happens. He is still in the army,
but does not expect to remain there
many weeks longer.
It is the purpose of the club to-
give the student body the benefit o&
this course of lectures almost with-
out charge. The tickets for the en-
tire course will be sold for fifty cents,
this amount being thought enough to-
pay the necessary expenses of the
course. The lecturers have offered
their services absolutely free, so the
only cost to the club will be their
personal expenses.
On Friday night of this week a
mass meeting of students in the in-
terests of the Good Government
Club will be held in Tappan Hall at.
7:30 o'clock. Addresses will be
given by several members of the
faculty. An opportunity will be-
afforded to all those who wish to jira
the organization and avail themselve -
of its privileges during the year-
