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. Continued froi
ing the people they are supposed to
be actually died in 1887.
Parmcnter discovers that Richard
and Elizabeth Grant are actually
Soviet spies. 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.

age of the group as a whole came
down. 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.

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.

From staff reports
^ The Gibbes Planetarium at the
Columbia Museum of Art is offering
something new: Star Voyagers, a
journey of space exploration for star
gazers and the celestially curious.
The show tells the story of mankind's
history in explor.ng the night sky.
Star Voyagers begins with the farsighted
predictions of a Russian
schoolmaster named Tsiolkovsky. In
1895, he envisioned manned space
