?Laid-back a f i \J# 171/ different fr By KKRKY HUGHES Staff writer It's not vour tvnical bar ? it'c more like your typical hole-in-thewall. There's no sign out front to tempt ^ you to come in. If you didn't know exactly where it was, you'd probably never find it. There's only a dangling 40-watt bulb to light the fenced entrance. The interior is not much nicer than the way in ? no carpet, no chairs and no tables. There are, however, two small bars, two very small restrooms and all the loud rock 'n' roll you could ever want to hear. Despite the fact that only beer is sold, more than 800 customers pile into Group Therapy every week. Group Therapy. An unusual name for an unusual place. It's anything but a normal bar, and owner George Meares likes it that way. "We just ^ tried to build a comfortable little PI bar," he said. "We wanted the kind of place where you don't have to worry about your cigarette putting a hole in the carpct, because we don't have any carpet." Group Therapy has been in the same place on Greene Street for 10 years and has changed very little. The bar was smaller back in the beginning, and only 50 people could pile in at one time. And "the crowd was a good bit older for the first two or three years," Meares said. uusmess siarieu siowiy, dui wnnin six months Group began attracting more and more Columbians. "It was really packcd. I had a mayhem down here for a while," Mcares said. The shift in typical customers was ^ also a slow one, but eventually the Movie.

They are "sleepers," placed in the United States and rarely usca. parmentcr finds that urant is completely unaware of his parents' past. He confronts Grant with the information and asks for his help. Grant, faced with a critical decision, must choose between his love for his parents and his love for his country. Sidney Poitier does a remarkable job. Poitier holds up his reputation ^ fls an Academy Award-winning actor 0 in this film. He plays with a confined passion, making his character believable and intriguing. i mm j * ?

USC students were partying at i Group, and the younger people were beginning to crowd out the older ones. "I think the older ones must have gotten tired of standing in I line," he said. Business continued to improve, ana ivicarcs was iorccci 10 expand. He leased out the rest of the building on Greene Street and increased the club's capacity by 300 percent, to 200. Despite its strange atmosphere, Group seems to be a favorite hangout for students. "It's the music and the people that make Group what it is. It's totally different from any other place we go out to," said junior Mary Ellen Hill, one of Group's many Groupies. "You don't have to worry about what you have on. You can just be yourself," the early childhood-eduCation major said. Although the line to get into Group still winds around the building on weekends, Meares said business suffered when the drinking age was raised to 21. "It has affected our j business to a fairly large degree," he said. Mcares said that even though the , drinking age has been difficult to deal with, he has no plans to change his operation to attract an older crowd once again. He doesn't believe in solicitation and is just glad to give everyone a place they can come to and relax. "It's just a laid-back place. It goes to the extreme of being informal. We've also got a tremendous mix of people. You'll see all kinds if you come out to Group on a Friday night," Meares said. n page 10 Adding danger to the film, Scuba (Richard Lynch) is introduced as a lunatic Russian spy. Scuba is killing off all the "sleepers," and Grant's parents arc next on the list. Little Nikita is worth spending a Sunday afternoon watching. It has the qualities necessary for an enjoyable movie. It contains some fine acting as well as a very nice film design. It has heart-warming scenes as well as intense action. The musical score, written by Marvin Hamlisch, blends well with the cinematography. Although it is a movie worth attention, Little Nikita does not seem to live up to the potential the script offers.
