Though only recently completed, the $15 million
Hotel Europa has raised much attention in the Research
Triangle. '
In addition to its 172 guest rooms, three separate din
ing rooms have been prepared; Ruben's Restaurant,
Lobby Lounge and King's Club.
The executive chef, Rolf Tischer, was previously working
in Copenhagen, Demark. Tischer's other working creden
tials include cooking in London, Holland, Italy, Switzer
land, Sweden, Canada, Virgin Islands and Germany.
Even with his experience abroad, Tischer said that he
was pleased with his position at the American hotel, call
ing it "a good opportunity."
Included in his cooking staff of 25 were six graduates
from the school for chefs in Boston, The Culinary In
stitute of America, which he hails as "the biggest, and
also the best." His staff will be divided between the three
restaurants.
"Ruben's Restaurant," seating 180 people, serves
breakfast, lunch, dinner and late supper accompanied
with live music.
Lobby Lounge with is soothing piano music serves
drinks and hors d'oeuvres as well as sweets prepared by a
Swiss pastry chef. The lounge seats 84.
And' finally, the King's Club, strictly a supperclub,
seats 100, and boasts top evening entertainment, in
cluding some national names. Bob Page, head of public
relations, said, however, that the emphads would be on
the hotel and dining rather than the entertainment.
Most ingredients for the meals are bought locally, with
the exception of those that are hard to come by, such as
certain spices and salmon. These items were imported
from Atlanta. But nothing inferior was used Tischer said.
"Everything was cooked in the best way you can do it.
We don't start with anything we don't know."
The restaurants serve haute cuisine from Europe with
an emphasis oh the French. "We serve the only legitimate
French cuisine in the state as far as I know," captain
waiter Churchill Hornstein said.
The service follows a complete French format, with a
hierarchy of employees as follow (from top to bottom):
maitre d' hotel, head waiter, captains, to servers. Their
custom-made uniforms also reflect those of the tradi
tional French.
Most of the restaurants' business is expected from the
outside rather than from the hotel guests. While UNC
students are indeed welcome, the budgeted take heed,
Page said about the Europa customers. When you be
come the most expensive hotel in the area obviously you
are going to be catering to the, to use the marketing
term, 'up-scale'."
Ruben's Restaurant and Lobby Lounge were put in
operation Nov. 9, but King's Club will not open for
another week or so. Reservations are advised.

Fans returned
to view shuttle
The Associated Press
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. Sam
Kanalas packed his wife in their tiny car,
drove 70 miles, mooched coffee to stay
warm, and waited.
"I'm going to see that shuttle go off no
matter how many times I have to come
back," Kanalas said Wednesday night. "I
want to see if this multimillion-dollar oil
change worked."
Kanalas, a retired General Motors
officer, braved the chilly launch-eve (
weather with hundreds of other space
buffs who parked overnight in campers,
vans and cars along the Indian River, 12
miles from the Launch Pad 39A at the
Kennedy Space Center.
In the distance across the water light
shimmered, showing the outline of the
Columbia locked in a protective gantry
beneath a full moon.
Kanalas was among a core of fans who
returned undaunted, despite the disap
pointment of seeing the flight scrubbed
last week because of clogged oil filters on
two of the shuttle's three auxiliary power
units. NASA estimated the delay cost
$1.5 million to $2 million.
. "When I changed oil, it didn't cost me
that much," Kanalas of Deltona, a
Central Florida retirment haven said.
Up and down this normally deserted
stretch of beach near Titusville, crowds
were grouped around bonfires, hawkers
were selling space-motto T-shirts, renters
were charging up- to $20 for a parking
space on private property. One teen-ager
was trying to peddle a viewing site pass
for $20.
Louis Poitry, 20, and Bruce McKay,
23, grocery clerks from Anchorage,
Alaska, held up their tour of the states
for eight days while they hung around
"swimming, sunning and soaking up rain
waiting for it to happen."
The buddies bedded down on U.S.I
along the Space Coast in their car, stuffed
with clothes, back packs and stereo gear.
Poitry wanted to see "if something that
big can really fly." And McFay wanted to
know what "it feels like at blastoff when
the ground shakes out from under you."
A couple from British Columbia re
turned Wednesday to the same spot they
had staked out last week and to their
surprise found themselves surrounded by
the same strangers as before.
"There are about six vehicles full of us
here," said Ed Sutherland, a junior col
lege teacher from Nanaimo on Vancouver
Island who waited with his wife, Fern,
their 5-year-old son, Craig and their
14-year-old poodle, Noel.
"None of us knew each other before
last week," he said. "Now it's like we're
old friends."
