You'll remember that the Southeastern Michigan Food Coalition, which was supposed to distribute the cheese in the first place, had asked the city of Detroit to do it instead.

City officials said they would distribute it only if the state's agriculture folks certified in writing that it's fit to eat. Well, certification could take at least five days, say state officials, who haven't received an official request from the city. A spokesman for the state said further tests are unnecessary because the cheese has been refrigerated since it was last tested.

Five AWOL students were captured on film at a lunchtime rock concert Tuesday on Hart Plaza.

Assistant Principal Elijah Porter said the student rockers were sent home for the day Wednesday and had to appear Thursday with their parents for a conference. They were all back in school Thursday afternoon.

The bill, which should go to the full Senate early next week, passed 93-6 in the House Wednesday.

Sponsored by Rep. Curtis Hertel, D-Detroit, the bill would allow state farmers to claim a tax credit equal to 10 percent of the wholesale value of crops gleaned to feed the poor.

for a child-care worker at an outpatient workshop run by Northville State Hospital. The ad did not specify that males were wanted, but Jatczak said that when she called the phone number in the ad, she was told that only males could apply. The workshop was designed to teach work skills to mentally ill males and females aged 17 to 21. Testimony indicated the typical patient population was at least 95 percent male and mostly black. At the time, the staff had one male and one female child care worker.

The child care workers were not assigned to patients on the basis of sex, yet the workshop administration received permission from the state Department of Civil Service to certify that the opening was for males only. THE STATE officials asserted that only a male could model appropriate work behavior by males; that males were needed to counsel male patients on sexual development; and that the absence of fathers in the upbringing of many of the patients led to "negative" experiences with females in authority, and thus the patients would be intolerant of any instructions or discipline imposed by female Water: It may be money in the bank New Bethel appoints a co-pastor Detroit's New Bethel Baptist Church, plagued by inter Deputy Auditor General John Boddy and received his of suspension.

Great Lakes governors, particularly Gov. Milliken, see the retention of control over the water as a means of attracting industries that might otherwise move elsewhere. There are no plans to divert water to Western states, but conference participants see diversion as an inevitable proposal by the 1990s. "AT A TIME when our nation's policy is changing in favor of less federal involvement and less federal regulation," Kelley said, "it is ironic that federal involvement may well be just around the corner regarding our Great Lakes and the Great Lakes tributaries." He said disagreement over control "may well become the focal point of environmental litigation in the Great Lakes region during the 1980s." Warning of the "specter of federal involvement," Kelley said Washington may try, under pressure from representatives from water-poor regions, to preempt policies established by the Great Lakes states.

fi According to Harry Bnck- Minister says he was framed By JOHN CASTINE Free Press Staff Writer A Detroit minister and his wife, who have pleaded guilty to prostitution charges in Birmingham, told the producers of the minister's television show Thursday that they were framed. Officials of the company that produces the program, which airs on WGPR (Channel 62) at 6-30 p.m. Sundays, said they have not decided whether the show will stay on the air. The Rev. Lawrence J.

London, 33, and his wife, Gwendolyn, 29, of Oak Park, were arrested Tuesday after the minister accepted $1 10 to have sex with a woman in a Birmingham motel. His wife had arranged the meeting. They were arraigned Wednesday before Bloomfield Hills' 48th District Judge Carl Ingraham and pleaded guilty to accosting and soliciting. They could each get up to 90 days in jail and a $100 fine on the misdemeanor charge. Ingraham released the Lon-dons on $1,000 personal bond each and ordered a pre-sentence investigation, which could take six to eight weeks.

Everyone on the Senate Administration and Rules Committee, which will consider the bill, has signed it, Pierce said.
