it. 1 Wednesday. MarrV, 8, 1967 Rathskeller Shows CelehritiVs: Evnanjnmr: Siipass Article By Joe Coltrane Photos By Steve Adams A mug of beer for five cents? And at the Raths keller? You could have gotten that deal in 1948 when the "Rat" first opened for business, according to Phil lip Miller, the present manager. You can't get beer for a nickel there anymore, but the Rathskeller still offers "the atmosphere in which a student can break away from his studies and live in a world away from reality for a while," said Miller. "We've had a number of famous personalities eat at the Rathskeller," Miller added. "When Buddy Hack ett ate here several years ago, one of the waiters asked him for his autograph. Instead of an auto graph, he sat and wrote a poem for the waiter." Big Personalities Other personalities to visit the restaurant include Faye Emerson, Tyrone Power, the piano-playing duo Ferrante and Teicher, Al Capp and Burl Ives. "Hugh Heffner came in one night with a girl friend," said Miller. When Theodore Danziger opened the Rathskeller in 1948, it consisted of just the "front" room, a cozy, low-ceilinged replica of a German old-world restaur ant. The dark-pine walls, tables and benches inscribed with various famous quotes set the relaxed atmos phere for the restaurant. "The other rooms have been added through; the years," said Miller. "In the Train Room, or Metro, we tried to set a French atmosphere along with the feeling that you are in a train coach." "The Cave, which extends right to the edge of Franklin Street, took about six months to dig out and :make into a room," Miller said. "The Chicken Coop takes it name from the chickens on the wallpaper, one of the few wallpapers drawn by the New Yorker artist, Steinberg." In the old days, the Rathskeller had a piano in the front room, and often had combos, accordion players, and frequent impromptu songfests, according to Mill er. . "However, since that time," he said, "we've ' found that most customers want a quiet, secluded sort of atmosphere. We have a jukebox, but it isn't played a great deal." r r J 4 . 1 J: A view from the restaurant into the cooking area shows a modern kitchen where "good quality food" is the watchword. 1 1 ti Frpnrh room simulates a sidewalk cafe car restaurant, one of four different types of "atmos- pheres" in the KatsKeiier. n a ihttpi n Pi f( D MQME.THE CATCHER LMP$ IT bNXlD L , yi,CE' i0KA?LT'S6TITf?!6T7H RR5T TIME ! 0AV, HERE 10E GOU 1 1 1 fwARPBl X WABPB , Long History Of 4 j The main dining area of the Rathskeller reflects the old world atmosphere of a German restaurant as started by Danzinger. "Our philosophy," said Miller, "is to give good service, serve good quality food, and keep a relaxed atmosphere. We have a very low rate of turnover of key personnel, cooks and overseers, and that prob ably helps us maintain both good service and high quality food." The Rathskeller offers variations from the nor mal restaurant routine. For birthday parties, the waiters bring out the cake and give a rousing Raths keller rendition of 'Happy Birthday". "The custom ers like it, and bur waiters enjoy it too' said Miller. On St. Patrick's Day last year, students with real Irish names were given a free mug of beer. The Pizza Wheel, offering students a chance to win a pizza if they choose the right number, is placed on the side walk: outside sometimes. "Little variations in routine like those help us, and it is fun for the students," said Miller. "Dr. Bell, a popular Botany professor, once gave his final exam in the Rathskeller," Miller said. "Part of it had to do with the tasting of various foods, so he just gave the whole thing down here." Senator Kefauver People often stand in line to eat at the Rathskeller. "Several years ago," said Miller, "we got a call one Saturday night frornra per son, identifying himself as Senator Kefauver, asking for reservations for t h a t night. "Thinking it was just a student trying to get a prior ity reservation, and in keeping with our policy of no reservations on Friday or Saturday nights, our bar keeper told him that President Kennedy had reserved the whole place for that night, and turned this request down. When we looked outside later and saw Senator Kefauver standing in line with the rest of the people, we were somewhat embarrassed." In 1948, the Rathskeller was mainly a drinking place, and the food served was less important. That has changed now, and perhaps the rhyme inscribed on the thick outer door best explains why: "He who drinks, and drinks with grace is ever wel come in this place. But he who drinks beyond his share, is never welcome anywhere." 1 r 1 C- c ffl The "Cave" or "Tavern Cavern" is reserved for couples only and has a totally diffeernt atmosphere from the other rooms.

Mrs. Evelyn Simmons ad dressed some 200 women at tending the 12th annual "Spotlight on Women" con ference, the theme of which was "You, Government and Changing Society." The conference was held on the University of North Caro lina campus. The free enterprise system, with its system of rewards and penalties, is still the most efficient economic sys tem yet devised, Mrs. Sim mons said, but only with the aid of a strong government. Government is presently playing five major roles, she said. Those of constable, um pire, chairman of the board, Robin Hood and the balance wheel. And in each case govern ment is playing the roles ei ther because (1) the service is impossible for a free mar ket to provide, (2) it can be produced more efficiently by government, or (3) private in dustry finds it unprofitable. As constable, government becomes rulemaker and arbi- NEWYORK FILM CRITICS AWARD for LYNN REDGRAVE (CO-WINNER) Presents starting j3MeSM3S0N wm-wiWM ISUGGESTED FOR MATURE AUDIENCES!

It must stamp out monopolistic tendencies in big business, set rates and stand ardize quality when consum ers have no alternate source of supply such as in public utilities, transportation and communication. Government as chairman of the board becomes a resource allocator. National defense, to cost $78 billion in the next fis cal year, is an example of this reallocation of a consumer good that cannot be provided by private industry, she said. ilrs. Simmons said that government, as a redistributor of income, plays the role of Robin Hood. ' She cited the progressive income tax, based on ability to pay principles, provides the most powerful means of accomplishing redis tribution objectives. "We accomplish equalizing transfers in three ways," she said. Dollar transfers with no strings attached go to indi viduals through such pro grams as old age assistance, Printer's Proofs of Ancient Posters This lot came from a printer's storage file, and includes old posters with scenes from the '80s, old flyers, and press proofs of old illustrations, many in color.

Bov Paints The Torn Red RACKNELL, England (UPI) It was about as much explanation as one could expect from a boy of 14, the juvenile court judge acknowledged. He had asked the boy why he stole an aerosol can of red paint and sprayed it on six cars, a road sign, a garage door, a fire hydrant, a num ber of lamp posts and a white fence. "I was fed up at the time I did it," said the youngster. He was conditionally discharg ed when he agreed, with his parents, to pay the damages. 21. Celeb rity 22. Pro claims 23. Plural ending 25.
