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.

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- Norwood B. Ayres has returned to. college but will be unable to take-his old place at end on the 'Varsity ow- ing to a protracted siege of illness which he experienced a few weeks ago. He was employed at the Qsaha. exposition during the summer.
