Job Opportunities Open to Students Working somewhere other than the food world was often an alternate choice. Wein- er’s, Kerr's, and other clothing stores gave practical training in marketing. Business and medical offices employed students for part- time work. The University provided minimum wage paying jobs for many students. These included jobs in all departments. Despite the low wage, campus employees had the advan- tages of working around their class sched- ules and working on campus. SHSU’s Placement Service was constantly improving its facilities to meet the needs of the students. The major goals included assisting students in finding part-time or full- time jobs, helping graduates obtain informa- tion on their job market, and offering advice about job careers. Company representatives from nearby cities and towns came to inter- view future graduates. The college student's budget was perhaps the smallest budget. Whether college costs were paid by parents, a scholarship, or by the stu- dent themselves, it was nice to have a little extra padding in the pocketbook.

Eateries Provide Service, Jobs | Huntsville offered an even wider variety of dining spots for college students with the completion of a new Tinsley’s and Del Taco. These additions also provided a few more | | jobs for students to financially get them through another semester. Per- haps the possibility of getting a job was best in the fast-food business. The Sonic offered curb service and McDonald's promised to serve the fastest to eliminate a long period of waiting. Long John Silver’s and Del Taco brought food to the customer’s table. Burger King’s burgers were made to specific order and were ‘“‘the best darn burgers in the whole wide world.” Restaurants with a higher price range, such as The Junction and Steak-n-Spirits, provided a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere.
