Noack said there had been complaints that his inspectors were "cracking down" on "go- go girls." "This isn't anything new. This statute has been in the book for more than 20 years," said Noack. "But in the last several months we've noticed that a lot of places have been advertising 'go-go girls' as entertainment.

We have warned them, simply, that they must have an entertainment permit to permit that kind of action." Noack said his investigators have delivered between 50 and 60 such warnings during the past month. Almost every major city in Michigan, he said, now has some variety of a "go- go girl." "It was all right when she was a customer or dancing with a partner. But when the girl is hired to do her dancing, then she is an entertainer. Then she becomes part of the floor show," he said. Such a license, Noack said, must be approved by the Jccal police department and governing body, but it is not difficult for liquor license holders to obtain such permits.

"We didn't even know you needed a permit," said a spokesman for "Halfway House" in Detroit, where "go-go girl" dancers are a big attraction. "But as soon as we were warned, we rushed around and got one." Noack said he has only 70 inspectors to cover 83 counties. "But from the complaints about our so-called 'crackdown', I guess they are doing a pretty good job," he said. RAYNHAM, Mass.
