"I go back for an occasional reunion." Abel said that though the stunt may appear to have been no more than a practical Joke, the point was serious. "I call attention through humor and unpredictable type of happenings to the fact you should get serious about the real problem," he said. "THE REAL problem in this in TODAY -1 1 to 6 P.M. 2145 CENTRAL PARKWAY 421-9434 BY REBECCA JONES The Associated Press COLUMBUS, Ohio-The man who plotted the disruption of a recent "Donahue" show by staging seven fake faintlngs to show that "television does not reflect life" is a native Ohioan and Ohio State University graduate. Alan Abel said he heads an organization of young actors known as FAINT, or Fight Against Idiotic Neurotic TV.

Members of that group pretended to faint during a live broadcast of Phil Donahue's talk show from New York City on Jan. 17. One of the fainters, actress Deborah Harmon, fell at Donahue's feet while asking a question about the show's topic of gay senior citizens. Harmon revealed the stunt Friday on WNBC-TV in New York. "I FEEL badly about having done It on the Donahue show, but it's the only live show left," Abel said in a telephone Interview from New York City.

He said the stunt was a protest against the disappearance of live television. A native of Zanesville, Abel grew up In Coshocton and graduated from Coshocton High School in 1942. He received a bachelor's degree in music and speech from Ohio State in 1950. "I've been in New York most of the time since (1950), but I still stance is that television does not reflect life as it's supposed to," he said. "There is no life, because It's all taped.

It's totally predictable. I resent it as a human that we're being reduced to this type of automaton." The apparent fainting spells concerned Donahue so much that he emptied the studio and continued the show without a live audience. Abel said he plans more such "video happenings" in the future. "We have a look-alike, who JJi3 jil3-rLr jJjiJLRajLB looks very much like a famous rock star. He or she is going on one of the talk shows, like Carson, to Just drop in and say, Abel said.

"They'll assume it's real, until the real rock star calls the next day to say 'It wasn't Abel also said he wrote a book, How to Thrive on Rejection. "It tells about growing up in Ohio and being rejected at an early age," he said. mm mm CEILING FANS CEILING FANS CEILING FANS CEILING FANS CEILING FANS CEILING CEILtf CEILING hiS? p'DIXIE BELLE I 7 YR.
