GOOD OLD VARSITY GETS BOOST
At CHAMBER. COMMERCE MEET

education had paid particular atten-
ton to the University of Idaho cen
tered IN MOSCOW; that some people
do not realize how important this edu-
catiOnal institution is to city and
county; that many able men turned
out at this university had always re-
membered the name and fame of the
city they were students in; that in
the matter of obtaining jobs for stu
dents the important fact should be
recognized that they are working
their way thru college; that it was
useless to harp on the fellow who did
not make good but rather to know
that there are countless others who
will make good; that worthy young
men and worthy young women should
be helped this way, Postmaster Nor
gareidge gave rousing address at
the chamber of commerce dinner
Wednesday.
Prof. Luke of the university spoke
of the financial difficulties that we're
confronting many. worthy young men
and women of south Idaho. Lots of
them had asked if it we're possible to
get work in Moscow SO as to help
pay college expenses. There was a
cry of distress over there. The case
was there we're plenty of men for
mer1y we'll off who are herding the
sheep they have mOrtgaged to the
bankers. There are young men and
women there who can make good and
an effort should be made to get them
here to the university. Some had
wrong impressions of Moscow, thought
it to be an inaccessible place and no
work, and the sooner these feelings
are wiped out the better for the name
and fame of the city and the univer-
sity.
Thomas Kelly, the athletic coach,
appealed on behalf Of the athletic
students, many worthy men being held
back because of the want Of jobs to
work their way thru. He cited q
number of distinguished athletes who
wanted the opportunity to come here.
w. S. G.. was after some of them be-
cause the jobs were there and some
OF these Jobs had been boosted from
$35 per month to $75. The fight is
hopeless unless Moscow buckles to
and provides the jobs for these men.
Moscow has to boost for the Unlver-
sity because Oregon and Washington
will not do it,
Missoula, Mont, was cited for its
jnterscho1astic meet. The people there
looked upon it as big advertisement
for the town. They went ahead and
the funds. 1t was three
day affair. Here we have hundreds OF
applications for positions, and Mos
COW should make as good a display
and what is true of Missoula is true
in bigger sense in Moscow. Be
sides an athlete is different from the
regular student He gives you some
thing in return. He adds to the name
and fame Of your city as we'll as the
He concluded by saying !
there was a fight ahead and strug-
gle at time when there was f1nan-
ciar depression.
DR.. Upham, president Of the univer-
sity, endorsed the last speaker, and
said he had taken the best OF his
periods out Of his mouth. South Ida
ho looked on Moscow as a little place,
not easily reached, and also as a city
hat did not help students to work
their way thru college. He wanted
people to come here and get newer
and a better vision. He outlined the
program, first a faculty committee to
make a preliminary canvass, then
committee of the university alumni I,
and the business men, and last a STAN
ling committee on emergencles 10
supply the places of students who did
not make good.
Mr.. Butterfield after describing a

Coach Kelly could be maintained by

made motion for a committee to be
famed to solicit these SUBSCRIPTIONS. /

,aign was preceded by business OF
he chamber. President Hagan was
n the chair and a motion was car 1
led for the building Of wading pool
It the City Park. The swimming pool Y
t was explained, would come later {
n with the camp proposition. {
On the camp proposition at the park
he work of placing signs for tour
SITS and the placing OF temporary
ab1es had begun. The Idaho devel-
pment campaign was frightened by t
he announcement that the Moscow
Merchants had subscribed $1,000.
