ULjI a. When New York Yankees superstar Reggie Jackson visited 'Kids Are People ABC-TV's entertainment-variety program for young people, he gave some batting tips to host Michael Young and two children from the studio audience. by Chuck Bins If you've ever watched ABC-TV's 'Kids Are People, Too' on Sunday mornings, you know why so many young people watch it: When Bonnie Franklin of 'One Day at a Time' was on she chatted about her years in school. Bonnie was a straight 'A' student. She had pushed herself to perfection and her classmates hated her for it.

Christopher Reeves, the film star of spoke about how he dealt with the painful experience of growing up as the son of divorced parents. Hollywood's Rona Barrett talked about the tauntings she took as a crippled child, and what she went through to overcome her handicap. But in addition to these stimulating celebrity interviews, the program also features top rock stars and bands, circus acts, audience 'press' conferences and lively documentaries from roving reporters around the country. Emmy Award-winning And then there is host Michael Young (pictured), whose instinctive curiosity helps him touch on these sensitive topics with his guests. Last year, Michael's first year as host, 'Kids Are People, Too' won an Emmy Award as the Outstanding Children's Entertainment series.

It was a surprising achievement considering that Michael Young became involved in children's programming quite by accident, less than two years before. While attending Auburn University in Alabama, Michael was elected president of his student government and had his sights set on a political career. "I'm the one who wanted to be the first southern governor in recent history to become President," the tall, dark-haired star says. Although he was accepted into law school, Michael became disillusioned with politics during the Watergate era, and instead began directing his efforts towards acting. After appearing in some off-Broadway productions in New York, he put up some cash to co-produce 'The Confirmation' with Herschel Bernardi.

But after a few short weeks, the play closed. "I put up $18,000 and lost about $2,000 more than I had," he remembers. "Then I called my agent to see if he 2112, Asheville, N.C., 28802. v. 1- 2, v- vt Bobby Bars In addition to a good vocal performance, Bobby Bare Down Dirty contains material from some of country music's finest writers, including Krli Krlttofferson, Shel Sllversteln, Bob McDIII, Towns Van Zandt and the team of Jerry Foster and Bill Rice.

The cover shots of Johnny Rodriguez Through My Eyes album should pull the dollars from the pockets of many country music loving females. John R. gives them that 'bedroom glance' on both the front and back of the album. And the wax inside the shuck should keep him up front. John R.

A few months later, he duplicated that feat and became a roving feature reporter for WC VB-TV in Boston again leaving his competition behind. "The fact that I was not a product of children's programming that I didn't know all the psychological aspects of learning and raising children may have been the best training I ever had," he says frankly. "Because I didn't have that background, I can deal with these kids (I mean pre-teens we don't like to says 'kids') the same way I deal with you or any adult.

"I'm just totally interested, and I love to listen to these kids. This is the most fulfilling thing I've ever done." Real impact Michael speaks fondly of the letters he receives, because in reading them, he knows the show is really having an impact. One boy, for example, wrote in to say that he stopped some of his classmates from teasing a handicapped girl after he saw the show with Rona Barrett. Nevertheless, Michael maintains that the show is not educational. "The reason why they listen to me is that they don't think I'm there to educate them.

And I'm not. Inform and entertain them, yes. Educate, no. Education should be left up to the parents and teachers and clergy. There's nothing wrong with being educational, but it's not my place." What is his place, Michael says, is to know what makes his show tick.

And if you've ever seen the end 'of the program, when Michael is swarmed by his young fans in the audience, you, too, know where that ticking is coming from. tv coewvtoa Mimcf. me.
