The Greenhouse Inn opened Feb. 6 on Bush River Road and is the first of three such independently-owned restaurants to come to Columbia. "You have to offer a selection if you want to have a good salad bar," said Assistant Vice President Robert Braley. "We have an 80-item salad bar in addition to seafood, steaks, and sandwichcs," said Robert Hall, vice president of operations. "We even have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich." Hall said the prices are within a student's budget. The second Greenhouse Inn will be located on the ground floor of the downtown AT&T building and will offer a student discount.

Hendrich said another attraction to USC students is that the restaurant serves beer and wine. Although The Greenhouse Inn is a family restaurant, she said she thinks it is a nice place to go on a date. "It's pretty relaxed, if you took someone out for the first time." The decor, resemhlino -a orppnimncn , ?-e> " e>-?-*.jv, includes hanging and floor plants, freshly cut flowers in vases, large windows, ceiling fans and other green furnishings. ''We took the best parts of restaurants we visited and made one of them," Mall said. Hall said, "We serve a breakfast buffet.

"We have just started selling things in malls, too," Martin said. Martin and Kyser travel across the country about five times a year selling the items that they buy from Guatemalan and Mexican craftsmen. Martin said that since they are gaining a reputation in some of the Guatemalan and Mexican villages, they do not have to shop around because the sellers come to them. ALTHOUGH THEY do not plan to buy from the same people, Kyser said many times they do see some of the same merchants. "Different villages have different things, we may buy all beads from one village and all of something else from another village," Martin said. Martin and Kyser said that aside from their selling, they do relief work for a church council in Colorado by transporting goods to poverty-stricken people in Mexico. MARTIN SAID that he would not advise college students to quit school and sell goods as they do full time unless they really love traveling. "We do it because we love it, don't do it if you will be in it for the money." ience, money ; paper companies are in the dark as far as igth and quality of paper goes," he said. :>f the various techniques we've developed here help the paper companies to improve and oducts.
