THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS

Southfield-Lathrup High
School senior Jacob Lorch
will miss his chance next
weekend to be on television
because of his religious be-
liefs.
Lorchi.is one of 289 stu-
dents invited to participate in
the WXYZ-TV (Channel 7)
"Best of Class" program co-
sponsored by General Motors
Corp. to recognize outstand-
ing graduating seniors.
WXYZ officials say the an-
nouncements, including
group and individual footage,
have always been shot on a
Saturday since the program
began in 1980.
Jacob's mother, Harriet
Lorch, has called WXYZ's
project director, community
affairs director and vice
president`general manager
Jeanne Findlater, as well as
the Anti-Defamation League
of B'nai B'rith, to complain
about the station's policy of
doing the filming only on
Saturday.

According to Darlene
Jones, WXYZ's community
affairs director, a Saturday is
the only time the day-long
series of shots can be taken.
"We use four crews and 60
station volunteers for this
project," Jones 'said, adding
that Saturday is the best day
for TV crew and volunteer
availability. This is the first
complaint the station has had
about Saturdays, she said.

Because of the Saturday
conflict, however, Detroit's
three Jewish day schools —
Hillel, Akiva and Yeshiva
Gedolah — are prevented
from participating in the
"Best of Class" project.
Of the 289 students in-
vited, 260 have indicated
they will come to the station
May 16 for the outdoor film-
ing. The others are involved
in debate, band and sporting
events, Jones said. "We don't
have a makeup day because
of the lack of crew
availability. We're a busi-
ness, and we have things to
