PAY TRIBUTE To
STUDENT BUSINESS
COLLEGE GROUP RUNS RESTAU-
RANT AND AT SAME TIRE
STAND HIGH IN STUDIES

A signal tribute to Moscow's stu
dent business man, and a number OF
university students in his employ, is
carried in Sundays Spokesman-Re
view, IN the magazine section, in which
is told how Lawrence E. Huff started
his restaurant which since has been
a popular Moscow eating place, and
how it is run almost entirely by stu
dents.
The article, as carried in the Spok
esman, follows:
( Strange tasks are done by college
+ students in working their way to an
education. Jobs vary from the mental
4 kitchen labor, to tutoring other stu
dents and, in several cases, conduct
ing first year classes.
For the most part the desire of
the average student is solely to make
enough money to pay his way while
at college, but among students at
the University of Idaho resourceful-
ness and ambition have placed at the
top of the list Laurence Huff, who
makes his own way, supports wife
and family, furnishes work for five
other students and lays by profit
Huff, who is cook of considerable
experience, spent three years at the
university cooking at fraternity and
sorority houses. Last spring, when
a Moscow restaurant closed he de-
cided to open a downtown cafe. He
borrowed $4,000 from a Moscow bank
For location he secured the gray
stone building vacated by the Mos
COW Trust and Savings bank, and,

up.
For help he looked toward his fell
low students and now he has five of
them on the payroll Six other en-
ployeeS increase his total payroll to
II and in rush times he has hired as
many as IS. Through his acquaint-
ance with university students, con-
siderable trade was received from
this source. At times he and his stu
dent aides manage banquets and din
ners for clubs and organizations.
In addition to working a regular
shift during the rush hours, he
carries a full 17-hour law course and
takes part in student activities. He
has won "a" grades consistently
ever since he enrolled. Last year he
received a degree from the college Of
letters and science with highest
honors" and he will earn similar
recognition from the law school when
he is graduated. In addition he has
been a member of university debate
teams for three years and last year
took second place in the oratorical
contest.
He is a member of Alpha Mu Delta,
law fraternity.
Students working under him also
have achieved recognition in u.niver-
sity activities. Maurice Kline,
Plainsfield, N. J., found time between
shifts to go out for the freshman
football team. He made center,
proved to be the teams outstanding
individual on defense and was elected
captain of the first year men. Kline
is now out for frosh basketball and
will try for baseball this spring
Frank Kinnison, working split
shift, made the baseball team last
spring, winning his letter by holding
down left field, is a member of the
varsity wrestling team and was out
for football this fall.
Leonard Kinney has time enough
to spare after working his eight
hours behind the counter to make
"a" grades in a full law course, as
does his brother, Emmett, who, in
addition, takes part in university
boxing matches Roland McNary, the !
fifth member of the student crew, is
