he would devote it to teaching youth that crime doesn't pay, were unavailing as Robert Allen Edwards (left),

Hut, Boesky's Gain
SanitaryApproval
Immediate action was taken by the
Hut and Boesky's restaurants, to cor-
rect the conditions that resulted in
the withholding of approval by the
Health Department and they were
granted approval yesterday, accord-
ing to Dr. Lloyd R. Gates, deputy
health officer.
"The two places in question," Dr.
Gates said, "cleaned up the unsani-
tary conditions over the week-end and
asked for an immediate reinspection.
The inspection was made yesterday
afternoon and they were issued
cards."
Through a typographical error, the
Michigamme Restaurant was omitted
from the list of approved restaurants
released Saturday by Dr. Gates.
Dr. Gates said any restaurant that
was not listed will be inspected some-
time this week, and cards distributed
to those that are approved. The 43
l inspected last week are in the im-
mediate vicinity of the campus, and
cater mostly to student trade.
