WouId Work During Holidays.

Many students at the University OF
Idaho. as is we'll known, find it neces-
sary to supplement their finances by
doing some work during the school
year. These students, as a rule, es-
peciallv the ones who live at dist
ance, will remain in Moscow during
the Christmas vacation, which covers
period of two weeks, and will be
available for any work that the citf-
zns may want done at that time.
They will be free from their school
duties for the two weeks and can give
their entire time to whatever work is
available. 1t will be comforting a
favor upon them and upon the uni
versity to bear them in mind for jobs
which require any time from one day
to two weeks. 1t will be possible to
get in touch with any of these young
men by calling Francis Jenkins, proc
tor of men, at Lindley hall.

PACIFIC COAST
ADMITS IDAHO "U'
ON FIRST APPLICA-
TION BECOMES MEMBER OF
IMPORTANT CONFERENCE

Portland-(A. P)-The University
of Idaho and the University of South
ern California were admitted to the
Pacific coast intercollegiate athletic
conference by action of the confer
ence leaders in session at Portland
Saturday This is regarded as a sig
nal recognition of Idaho athletics as
this was the first time Idaho has
made application for admission into
the most important collegiate confer
ence of the west.
Colleges in Conference
Other colleges in this conference
are the University of California, STAN
ford university, the University of
Washington, the University of Ore
gon, Oregon Agricultural college and

suit of long hard fight Of five years.
That Idaho was admitted on the first
application is regarded here as
tribute to her athletic prowess and
her clean athletic rcerod. In past
years the opposition to the Univer-
sity of Southern California was on
the ground that athletic material was
imported to make winning teams.
Northwest and Pacific
The University of Idaho is now a
of two conferences, the
Northwest and the Pacific Coast.
While Idaho next season will prob
ably play it's northwest conference
schedule in future seasons Idaho will
arrange games with the larger schools
Of the Pacific coast conference.
This favorable action Saturday as
sures a permanent recognition of the
of Idaho in all branches
Of collegiate athletics. The Pacific
Coast conference is known as per-
haps the strongest athletic confer
ance in the United States with the
ability to develop the most success
ful athletic teams.
