The club saw it as a way to tap into a younger market and get around Pennsylvania's liquor law. "In order to serve liquor on Sundays you have to serve 40 percent food.

This was the only way to keep the club open," said Paul Zaremski, manager of the Bridgeville VIP At first, the attendance was meager, but now the turnout for under-21 nights is as good or better than the regular nights, Zaremski said. "We're double what we were when we started. I think it took a while for the kids to find out about it and the parents to learn to trust us." The bands at VIP are as young as the customers. "We give local kids a chance to audition for free on Sun- days and figure they'll bring their friends with them." Celebrity, which caters to a black clientele, also tries to encourage local talent, sponsoring rap music contests. Tom Barnes, who oversees all four VIPs, said that the idea is catching on nationwide.

(Continued on Page 12) By Crocker Coulson Post-Gazette Staff Writer It is Sunday night at the Electric Banana, and the Vampire Lezbos are on the stage grinding their way through "Stop Killing the Seals." A surging circle of young toughs in mohawks and storm-trooper boots races around and around in front of the stage. The dancers wheel drunkenly, bouncing off the crowd which presses in around them. As the song reaches its crescendo, one dancer leaps high in the air, knocking four onlookers to the ground. The crowd breaks into applause and helps him back to his feet, patting him on the back as he heads back toward the dance floor. Despite appearances, there is no alcohol being served at the bar, and the average age of the dancers is 17.

The Electric Banana is one of several area nightclubs which have begun to hold "under-21" or "all-ages" nights on a regular basis. Mirage, City Limits, the VIP clubs and Celebrity hold similar events. The clubs charge admission for dancing or live music and serve soda at the bar.

Audience of 1 billion expected for Live Aid No. 3 for Princess Di? Is she, isn't she, or was she just teasing? Princess Diana was reported yesterday in British tabloids as telling judges at lunch during a visit to London's Old Bailey Central Criminal Court Thursday: "I might be eating for two." But Queen Elizabeth II's press secretary said later the story was "rubbish," that Diana was not regnant and that she never said it, to which the laily Express retorted: "People who thought she had said it were amongst the judges, court officials and civil dignitaries lunching with the princess in the dining room at the Old Bailey." Earlier, a palace press officer had stated less emphatically: "If there is any announcement to be made, it will be made in due time." Diana and Prince Charles have two children, Prince William born on June 21, 1982, and Prince Harry born Sept. 15. -r- Compiled by Sue Puskar By Lee Under Associated Press Writer PHILADELPHIA Live Aid, the biggest rock concert the world has ever known, will connect Britain and the United States in a session today that may be beard by more than 1 billion people, all in an effort to aid hungry Africans.

It was Geldof who last year brought together 37 top English recording stars as a group dubbed "Band-Aid" to make the hit record "Do They Know It's Christmas" for famine relief. It was the forerunner of "We Are the World," a song composed by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie in a similar effort in this country.

The two records raised more than $30 million, and hundreds of tons of food, medicine and clothing have been shipped to Africa. The live acts start in Philadelphia at 9 a.m. During lulls between the musical acts, the crowd will turn to mammoth television screens around the stadium to watch by satellite what's happening on the Wembley stage across the Atlantic. Organizers say 86 countries are carrying parts of the concerts live, while 40 to 50 other countries will take videotape. The all-music cable TV channel, MTV, in the United States is the only outlet planning to carry all the music from start to finish.
