Mr. Gatti's owner Jack Rueff and his son Patrick
... enjoy the restaurant's St. Patrick's day celebration
Mr. GattVs a busy place
By DAVID ROME
Staff Writer
When a new pizza place opened up
last semester and boasted "The best
pizza in town," most seasoned pizza
eaters waited skeptically for the new
pizza to prove itself in a town where it
seems like even the Chinese food
restaurants serve pizza. Others were
concerned with the question "Who is
Mr. Gatti, anyway?"
Although there is no actual Mr.
Gatti, restaurant owner Jack Rueff,
who likes it when kids call him Mr.
Gatti, asserted that his pizza is for
real.
Rueff designed the Franklin Street
franchise himself and wanted to make
sure it was "not just a pizza joint."
With events like yesterday's St.
Patrick's Day "Pat's Party," Mr.
Gatti's is quickly becoming what
Rueff termed "a community hap
pening." Rueff decided to have a party for
his son Patrick in honor of St.
Patrick's Day. As Patrick walked
around with a custom-designed green
Mr. Gatti's t-shirt, green beer was
served and free cookies were distri
buted. No attempts were made to
make an all green pizza, however.
As the cover of the Mr. Gatti's
menu states "Mr. Gatti's was founded
with the goal of creating a pizza so
good and an atmosphere so inviting
that it would naturally stand out
among pizza restaurants."
Jack Rueff is doing everything he
can to provide a congenial atmosphere.
He is also determined that his is the
best pizza in town, and he wants peo
ple to come and try it.
Crowds have been thronging to Mr.
Gatti's for more than just the pizza,
however, thanks to someof Rueffs
ideas.
Rueff, who was once an academic
advisor at the University of Louisville,
considers himself a Tar Heel now and
has "How 'bout 'dem Heels" banners
above his two $14,000 large television
screens which draw a large crowd on
game days. Those televisions have
cable access and operate all the time.
There is also a game room with the
latest video games. .
Rueff has a number of other pro
motional ideas which reflect his desire
to help his business while helping the
community. He is willing to videotape
any game, swim meet, etc. and replay
it on the big screen for free. Mr.
Gatti's is sponsoring a volleyball team,
a Softball team, and a Rainbow Soccer
team as well. A 10 percent discount is
offered for anyone who brings a
church program on Sunday.
Mr. Gatti's has a meeting room
which can be used for free; a party for
participants in a pro handball tour
nament was held there recently. Rueff
said that the room even became some
what of a study hall during exams.
Rueff said, "I've designed this place
for a good time."
The restaurant recently introduced
luncheon specials to promote some
non-pizza items on the menu. The
$1.59 "Starving Student Meal" of
spaghetti, etc. has been raised to $2.59
because the point was reached where
200 pounds of pasta (enough for 600
people) was consumed in about two
hours.
Rueff is a former executive in the
Mr. Gatti's chain, which had about
300 restaurants in 21 states last year.
He and his wife decided to settle in
Chapel Hill. He designed the restau
rant himself to "represent the com
maMtyv' 'He' stressed Equality, ser-
vicemd cleanliness'
for success.

The. Peace Corps wants you. Recruiters have set up
tables in the Carolina Union to take applications for the
agency.
"The corps is more of a personal experience than a
professional one' recruiter Alex Wilson said. "You've
got to want something out of it for yourself."
The Peace Corps is especially interested in people with
specific skills such as farming, health, education,
business, engineering and architecture, but is not limited
to these areas, recruiter Mary Carrozza said. . t
People in liberal arts who are interested in the corps
should gather experience in a skill by doing volunteer
work, Health education experience such as drug, sex or
pregnancy counseling is an especially useful preparation
for work in the corps.
The corps does not accept all applicants. Interested
persons are encouraged to find out as much as they can
about the corps before applying, Wilson said. Persons in
. general areas can put themselves in a more competitive
position by acquiring a specific skill or by working with
people of different backgrounds, Wilson said.
The Peace Corps is a federally-funded volunteer pro
gram. Volunteers must sign up for at least two years and
must work in developing Third World countries in areas
of human need, Wilson said.
"It is an apolitical organization," Wilson said. "It has
no political message to offer."
Since its development in 1961 by President John F.
Kennedy, the corps has sent 80,000 volunteers to Third
World countries. Currently there are 5,600 Peace Corps
volunteers in 56 countries.
"It is person-to-person skill-oriented work," Carroz
za said. "We are working to raise the standard of living
of people in other countries."
Half of the volunteers work alone as the only
American in the area they are assigned to. The remaining
50 percent work with another in pairs, Carruzza said.
Volunteers work closely with the people, teaching
them agriculture techniques, health care and other im
provement techniques. Engineers and architects are
needed to plan construction, locate labor and instruct
workers.
Recruiters will be at UNC through Friday. Interested
persons may sign ip for interviews in 21 1 Hanes Hall.

Adult station Escapade
removed from airwaves
Escapade, the adult television enter
tainment service syndicated by Playboy
Enterprises and provided by Village
Cable, has been pulled off the local air
waves for three weeks.
The adult programming was pulled
after Village Cable received two or three
phone complaints about faulty cable con
verters that have brought Escapade un
invited into the homes of some town resi
dents. Lu Stevens, general manager of
Chapel Hill's cable service, said that while
the complaints were not overwhelming it
was in the company's best interest to cor
rect the converters.
"Kids could pick it up with con
verters," Stevens said, adding that a com
pany Village Cable has been working with
has designed a new switch to correct the
problem.
She said the new cable switch also will
prevent people from fiddling with their
converters to receive programming such
as The Movie Channel and Home Box
Office without paying for it, which she
said has been a problem for a long time.
Some students' complaints about the,
faulty converters were of another nature.
"It's frustrating when you can hear
noises but can't see what's going on,"
said one recipient of Escapade, for whom
only the audio came in. Another student
receiving free adult programming com
plained about the inconveniency it has
caused Mm, and suggested that some
compensation be made by the company.
"I might start charging admission for
all the people filling up my living room
every night," he said.
As soon as the new cable converter
switch is refitted, Escapade will return to
Chapel Hill, Stevens said.
