On the opposite side of the corridor from the reading room en- trance will be the delivery desk and the circulation desk. The delivery desk will be connected with the old and new stacks by an automatic book carrier. The new stacks will be the two wings now under construction. Beautiful and comfortable in de- sign, the main reading room will have book shelves and oak panels on its walls for a height of seven feet. Above that height the walls will be imitation stone, rising to the vaulted ceiling, which will be decorated handsomely. At each end of the main reading room there will be three large windows, and the surface above the windows at the ends of the vaulted ceiling will re- ceive paintings, similar to the group scene by Gari Melchers in University hall. No definite announcement, of the nature of the paintings or the artists has yet been made. Four hundred tho and dollars is the estimate of the cost of the com- pleted structure. All of the work of the architectufal trades is being done by the Selden-Breck Construction company, of St. Louis, Mo., and the plumbing, steam-fitting, wiring, and otherlmechanical equipment are to be installed by the university building and'grounds department. Albert Kahn, of Detroit, is the archi- tect. He has played an important part in forming the present Michigan cam- pus. He was the architect of Hill auditorium, the Natural Science build- ing, the new Engineering building, and the Ferry field gates, besides sev- eral fraternity houses. Art brick and Bedford stone similar to those used in the new science build- ing and Hill auditorium will be used in constructing the library. Its ex- terior will be decorated with inlaid work. The building will be absolute- ly fire-proof and the most modern in furnishings. It will be able to take care of the needs of a university of twice the present size of Michigan. Besides the automatic book carriers some of the special features will be pneumatic tubes to transport books and papers about the building, leather doors and marble walls in the main corridor, and three electric elevators, one for passengers. Gym Work Offered Upperclassmen Special gymnasium classes for upper classmen will' be offered this year by Dr. George A. May, if a sufficient num- ber of men enroll. Those exempt from required physical work may also join. MAJESTIC ANNOUNCES NEW MUSICAL SHOWS THIS SEASON Management Has Made Many Changes in Theatre Since Last Year Musical shows and high class vaudeville bills will be the keynote of Majestic theatre policy for the com- ing year, according to Manager O'Don- nel. Among those billed for Ann Ar-' bor within the next few weeks, is a musical tabloid, called "The Luck of a Totem." This show was formerly known as the big musical extrava- ganza, "Alaska" and has been reduced to its present form to fit the small circuit theatres. Another playlet is a college comedy, entitled "The Fresh- man." This show is reported to be out of the ordinary run of so-called rah-rah productions, even theatrical critics remarking that it is a "scream" from the start to the final curtain. Of an entirely different nature will be the act put across by the Metro- politan Dancers. These .people, eight in number, are talented artists, who were formerly connected with produc- tions at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York. Lovers of the ukelele, the string guitar and the enchanting "hula hula" will look forward to the coming of Cluxton's Royal Hawaiians. This aggregation is reported to be one of the finest of its nature in the country. For the benefit of the ladies, as well as members of the sterner sex who take an interest in such things, Man- ager O'Donnel has booked the famous "Fashion Revue," featuring the gown that took first prize at the Bismarck Gardens exhibit in Chicago, the "Gown Without a Back." But best of all, there will be a num- ber of snappy vaudeville acts. Any- way this stuff is always best liked. A good singing and dancing skit or a funny monologue puts everybody in a good humor and keeps them there. Chief on the list will be the marvel- ous Eva Fay, the woman who reads your thoughts. There were a lot of sceptics when she was here last year, but after they tried her-well, it was a different story. Some of the other old favorites will be seen again, among them the popular Bennet Sisters and Mary Gray. The theatre itself was greatly im- proved during the summer. But this year a new heating plant has been in- stalled, and even the last row will be comfortable. A new slate floor has been put in, three new sets of scenery will banish the memory of the good old dining room, and parlor scenes, the lobby and the foyer have been painted- and decorated, and the lobby, foyer and steps leading to the balcony have been covered with new "battle- ship" linoleum. Roy Prescott is leading the orches- tra again this year. This organization has been benefited by the acquisition of a drummer and a new cornetist. Dode Lamson, of Cincinnati, handles the sticks, while G. A. Preston will do the work behind the horn. Miss Georgeanna Ristine is at the piano again. Charles Timmins, who was stage manager for the road company of Sep- tember Morn last year, will be chief electrician. He arrives next week. Hanna will have charge of the prop- erties. GARGOYLE BREAKS ALL RECORDS FOR SUBSCRIPTION SALES Subscription sales of the gargoyle are breaking all records this year, ac- cording to Business Manager H. Kirk White. The first edition will be on the press by the 27th of October. Work on the national campaign fort the new million dollar building will be continued during the months of October and November at which time' the territory covered during the cam-: paign of last year will be gone over' and alumni not already life members will be urged to join. That the national committee is very confident of raising the sum needed to complete the building is manifested by the fact that the national commit- tee has told the building committee to go ahead with the building plans as originally conceived. Bids for the ex- cavations were asked for last week and the building committee met last night to determine who should do the work. An additional feature of interest in the local life membership campaign is the fact that the local membership dues will be applied on the life mem- bership cards if the member signifies his intention of taking out a life mem- bership card before November 1. "Clean-up" Work During Octo- ber and November IOWA'S DAILY NEWS STARTS CAREER UNDER STUDENTS, T TH Iowa City, Ia., Oct. 3.-Publication CONTINUEDTHIS MOof The Iowa Daily News at the State University of Iowa began with the National Union Committee to Do opening of school this year under the system of student ownership and con- trol. The Daily Iowan, prifately publish- ed for a number of years as the stu- dent paper of the university, was pur- chased by The Iowa Daily News at the close of school early last summer. With the founding of the new student. daily it is expected that the Daily Old Gold, which ran as opposition to The Daily Iowan for a time last year, will not resume publication. TYPHOID EPIDEMIC CHECKED SAYS DR. JOHN A. WESSINGER The Typhoid epidemic has reached its crisis and is now well in hand. One thousand dollars has been appro- priated by the city council and Dr. John A. Wessinger, public commis- sioner, has carried on a strict survey of all possible sources. "The water supply is now in good order," says Wm. Levin," and there is no longer need of boiling it. The sanitary conditions are better now than they ever were so there is no need for worry." Nine cases of typhoid were dismissed yesterday and three today.' The oth- ers are mild.
