have fifteen hours per week in
classes necessitating almost unbe-
lievable hours Of digging in the libra

The work is interesting, with a
great deal Of variety, and in classes
even, there is no small amount of fun.
The professor of Economies is a pes
simistic Socialist and bomb less An
archist, and as the class is made up
largely of fastidious girls, many Of
whom drive up in their imosines, you
can imagine what free-for- fight
it is. Professor Lanes troubled reign
over Pensacola High School was not

provoked with the professor myself,
but just the same it amuses me i'm
mensely to see the "swells" sling mud
in his face and then see how cleverly
he sings 1t back.
However, think I am learning
more outside the University than in
it, and incidentally am seeing and
hearing a good many notables.
l saw Eva Tanguay, at Keiths, and
one in my life. She is the origfna-

Have seen Maude Adams. Stung

Also have seen Gilbert and Fried

are the composers Of a lot Of popu-
lar songs, among them, waiting for
the Robert E. Lee," Alabama Jubi-
lee," my Own Iona," "Hitchy Koo,'
etc. It gave me a curious feeling
when I thought of all the times An
derson Douglas had played those
same airs for us to dance by, and
now here was in the audience Of the
writer's. I couldn't applaud enough.
Heard an interesting lecture on
Botticelli, famous Italian painter
of the time Of the Italian Renais-
sance. The talk was made especially
delightful by the exhibition of some
of the painters work. l had been
tempted to go to picture show in
stead, thinking such an educational
affair would be rather dry, but it was
not, bit.

Had even worse luck trying to hear
ex-President Taft, on the Y. M. G.. A.
War Work campaign. He spoke at
the Belasco theater, raising fifteen
thousand dollars at one whack! AL
though I was forty-five minutes
ahead of starting time, the house was

CHRISTMAS
ENTERTAINMENT FOR
THE SERVICE MEN.


| The Army and Navy Life Activi-
/, ties Committee have planned Christ
mast entertainment for the enlisted
men in Pensacola on q very large
| scale.
There are at least two thousand
! men stationed in the vicinity Of Pen
sacola, large number Of whom will
have no chance of getting furloughs
| for the Christmas season, and the
committee thinks that If they are to
| DO any entertaining at all they would
like to feel in position to entertain
every one of these two thousand men
If they should all happen to come to
| the Armory Hall on Christmas night.
This will be a large undertaking,
| no doubt, but it has been done in
places where the camps are much
| larger than in Pensacola. Mrs. Day
says. that early last summer they
heard that six hundred soldiers would
arrive in Van Cortlandt on the follow
ing day, and when they had every
thing prepared and had started
serving they were told that about
sixteen hundred more would arrive
in few hours, all fairly hungry
She did not boast of their achieve
| ment, but simply stated that they fed
every one Of those twenty-five hun
dred boys, and surely what these wo-
| men in New York could do on a few
hours notice, the women of Pensa-
cola can do with three weeks to work
| in.
It will not mean such large con-
tributions from individuals, If only
everyone will feel that it is their
privilege to help. Most Of us have
| relatives at one or more of the diff
nI
feel that the women in those towns
were at least making an effort to pro-
vide some Christmas entertainment
for our boys that would help them to
feel less lonely.
Those who wish to contribute to
| this entertainment will please phone
The Journal Office, No. 4s, and it
| will be seen from the following list
| of contributions what is still needed:
