School children easily survive TV-less week NEW YORK (AP) Jeff Tewlow wrestled with his brother for half an hour. Vickie Gifford flew a kite. And Susie Kaplan read one long book after another.

After a week of voluntary deprivation, these grade-schoolers and their parents discovered that life without television is not really as bad as some of them had feared. They assembled at Public School 166 on Manhattan's upper. West Side to mark their triumph' over the tube, achieved during an experiment to see how television affected them. While they celebrated an absence of television, their gathering was recorded by cameras from local television stations. "It was like taking an intruder out of our home," Janet Mervish, mother of two, related at the boisterous gathering.

Set up by Marie Winn, author of "The Plug-in Drug," the experiment was variously lauded as remarkable, exciting and instructive. A number of parents noted that tube less times were times without TV-related tension without combat over which program to watch and without meal schedules geared to the tube. It also made some aware that they watched TV simply because it was there. Only one parent voiced criticism of the experiment, and her objection stemmed from the mistaken impression that Miss Winn advocates abolition of television altogether. "I was amazed at how few negative comments there were," Miss Winn said after handing out slim children's books and chocolate-chip cookies she had baked as rewards at Monday night's gathering.

One young party-goer, named Jonathan, spoke of his mixed reactions: "At some times I felt good, and at other times I felt bad. The good times were when I forgot all about television, and the bad times were when I found out there were good things to watch." A random look at the diaries 9 the children kept gives evidence of a life enriched by such enterprises as "helping mommy in the doing homework and having a conversation. "I had a long talk about school," Susannah Kaplan, who: gave her age as wrote in a diary of one day in the experiment. "Then I drew a big picture. Then I read a long book.

I didn't even think about TV." One mother said she was surprised at the dependency of her 3-year-old daughter on "Sesame Street." "I hadn't realized it, but she had forgotten how to go into her room and play by herself," the mother said. Another, Eileen Jacobson, said the tube week brought her and her 7-year-old daughter together again for unexpected fun. She listened to the radio and records and, much to he surprise, was "feeling a lot less bored," she said, adding that she and daughter Rachel have decided to cut way down on television. Many made similar decisions, but 8-year-old Elizabeth Morrison probably did not. The lure of the tube was so great in the week that ended Sunday, she said, that one night she sat and watched a blank screen.

"I didn't have anything to do," she explained later.
