key hasn't made its imprint. Every
accessible piece of wood in the restau
rant proclaims someone was here and
was in love with someone else who
was also here."
The Rat is not without its own creativ
ity. The backs of each table have words
of wisdom inscribed on them. "The
more things a man is ashamed of, the
more respectable he is," says one booth.
"That's the nature of women ... not to
love when we love them, and to love
when we love them not," says another.
All the tables are placed uniformly
throughout the dimly-lit restaurant, so
that there is an emphasis on atmos
phere. Art adorning the old-fashioned
Walls is hard to figure out, but it adds
greatly to the overall feeling received
from a visit to The Rat. Memories of
yesteryear, including autographed foot
balls and basketballs, also add to the
atmosphere, not to mention the tradi
tion. Pictures of former UNC super
stars give way to reflections about past
seasons and past championships.
j Other than the main dining room,
there are four "special" rooms scat
tered about the place, each with its
own unique personality.
The "Circus Room" is a good spot
fqr the kids. Mirrors are everywhere,
adn brightly painted animals cover the
walls. The "Train Room" is the home
of The Rat's most popular table, which
gives a clear view of the Franklin Street
sidewalk above. Next comes the "Lau
trec Room" (as in Toulouse), which
was painted in imitation of the artist's
(famous murals. Finally, there comes
'"The Cave," which looks exactly like
'it sounds. In this room you feel as if
!you are several thousand feet under
ground. Each brings a feeling of com
jfort to its occupants.
Another important room to The Rat
js the bar, located to the immediate
ight as you walk in the door. Smith
$aid The Rat was originally a bar and
that food was not served until the mid
Os. A pinball machine and a fish
tank help decorate the bar, and a gen
erous supply of liquor and beer rest on
the shelves.
Pitchers of beer, very popular on
football weekends, are $3.50 for the
small, and $5.75 for a large. Domestic
Bottled beer is $1.50 and imported
Bottled beer $1.95. Wine and mixed
drinks are also available upon request.

From staff reports
So you finally found the dream
apartment you've been looking for. The
one with the beer cellar under the
kitchen and a sauna in the bathroom.
You know you shouldn't be hasty, but
you just have to live there, so you sign
the lease without reading it very care
fully. Later you learn it has an auto
matic renewal clause and a $50 serv
ice charge for the beer cellar. Sound
familiar? You know Dad isn't going
to like this very much!
What's a student to do in this situ
ation? Well, for starters, students can
take the lease to Student Legal Serv
ices for a free evaluation.
Student Legal Services, located in
the Student Union, offers free legal
advice on almost any subject and pro
vides free court representation for stu
dents who have landlord problems,
minor consumer problems, or those who
need expunction or want to settle an
uncontested divorce.
SLS is made up of three attorneys,
headed by director Dottie Bernholz,
who are available to help students solve
minor legal problems. According to
attorney Dave Crescenzo, the legal
service counsels students on subjects
ranging from driving under the influ
ence to credit problems.
"The single subject we deal with
most is landlord-tenant problems,"
Crescenzo said. "We also deal with a
lot of traffic problems. We will give
advice on any subject with the caveat
that we are not experts on every type
of law.
"We get a fair number of students
with problems related to using fake
IDs. That can be a serious offense, for
both the person with the ID and the
person who lends it to them."
The attorneys cannot represent a
student who wants to file suit against
another student because, as Crescenzo
explained, the attorneys represent all
UNC students. They are also prohib
ited from representing students in suits
filed against the state of North Caro
lina. In an average month, SLS sees about
200 students, with August and Sep
tember being the busiest months and
June and July the slowest.
Students who are planning to enter
into a lease in the fall are encouraged
to bring it by the legal services, Cres
cenzo said. Students who don't are
"crazy not to," he said.
The Student Legal Services office,
in Room 222 of the Union, can be
reached at 962-1303.
