The alumni list continues with: Jim Burross, now at CBS Records' office in San Rafael, where he's the local promotional manager, Carla Diamond, currently booking rock music on the nationally syndicated TV series "Roller Games'; Jim Dunbar III, Bay Area-based Backbeat Productions' music supervisor for feature-film sound tracks; Scott Lowry, Paradise Lounge manager, Linda Champagne, manager of country-pop-rock band the Movie Starr, Lisa Yimm, handling national promotion for Reckless Records in San Francisco; Sandra Wasson, still a KUSF DJ under the pseudonym "Darla," and now also general manager at UC Berkeley station KALX.

That's a partial list "It's phenomenal," Runyon said with pride. Runyon the director of mass media studies for the university, in addition to his duties at the station first became involved at KUSF as a student hosting a celebrity interview show in 1965. He became student manager of the campus-only station in 1969. In 1977, the university received FCC approval for a broadcast FM station and purchased one from a Bible college. Standish credits the high rate of industry Jobs for KUSF personnel to volunteer professionals such as Howie Klein, now general manager of Sire Records, DJs Richard Gossett and Beverly WiUhire of KSAN in its progressive rock days, and Kate Ingram, formerly of WBCN in Boston.

"They were integrated into the operation, helped us develop and gave us direction," Standish said. Added Metz: are so many KUSF people in the industry, it's becoming like a fraternity." On Board "Hi! We're the house band here on the Love Boat," B-52's singer and resident dry wit Fred Schneider said. The occasion was last Monday's bay cruise that featured the B-52's in concert for a boatload of "Live 105" radio 1 listeners who had won tickets to the event Appropriately, the band played their signature song, "Rock Lobster," as the boat sailed under the Golden Gate Bridge Check out the Coronados. The nouveau country-and-western ensemble continues to delight every Thursday night at Bimbo's Roaring West Cabaret Lead singer Dee Lannon's ode to country star Dwight Yoakum, "Marry Me, Dwight" is worth the trip (and her Patsy Cline covers aren't bad either) Consolidated a hard-edged electronic dance band that includes two refugees from the punk-disco unit Until December has released a five-song debut EP, which is only available on import "We were signed by a German label, Zoth Ommog, on the strength of a video we sent them," said singer Adam Sherburne, who is moonlighting as a doorman at the Kennel Club when he isn't trying to finalize a U.S. record deal for the band.

Fresh Pates The Del Rubio Triplets perform Saturday night at the new Cupertino hot spot Soho. The gals also will sign autographs from 1 to 2:30 p.m. Saturday at Streetlight Records in San Jose, and they will perform a few songs including their own version of "Louie, Cajun rocker Zachary Richard vamps Slim's September 73, followed by Bobby "Blue" Bland on September 9-10 Can the Killer still knock 'em dead?

The ascendant British rock band committed to the show after two KUSF listeners won a contest by designing a T-shirt commemorating Love and Rockets' fall tour. According to the station's program director Melissa Metz, money raised by the concert will support the noncommercial operation of KUSF and "another local nonprofit organization, still to be decided on." While major commercial outlets can support various live shows (such as KMEL's massive "Summer Jam" this weekend at the Shoreline Amphitheatre), KUSF's Love and Rockets concert is a rarity for a tiny college outlet But It's Just the latest chapter in the story of the little station that could.

Since station general manager Steve Runyon approved a daytime pop-music format in 1980, KUSF's programming has emphasized new and radical rock artists alongside the standard public-service and foreign-language shows expected on a college broadcast As a result KUSF has become established as a music-industry trend setter and a Bay Area taste maker. In 1986, KUSF won the Radio Station of the Year award from the New York-based College Media Journal. For the past two years, it was named College Station of the Year by radio trade Journal the Gavin Report It's become a regular occurrence for such big names as REM or Elvis Costello (who talked with current program coordinator Tim Ziegler in February) to drop by the station for guest DJ stints or interviews. But the most amazing aspect of KUSFs success has been its status as a source for music-industry pros. More than two dozen KUSF alumni have gone on to coveted Jobs at record companies, commercial radio stations and nightclubs.

Most recently, former program coordinator Peter Standish, who helped initiate the new music format in 1980, was named national manager of modern-music promotion and marketing for Reprise Records in Burbank. His co-founder of KUSF's format, Dcnise Sullivan, is now in alternative retail marketing for Warner Bros. Records in Atlanta. Linda Ryan, who was program coordinator for the station from 1988-89, Just replaced Standish as alternative-music editor at the, Gavin Report, headquartered hi Sannclcftjvifc V. aoort at (haw at 9pm $12 bauhn SUN MISSILE HARMONTMAXlMltUONS M( HIP HOUStHIP HOP DJ tfX MONI7 ROCK IN i HARD KJKI THURS 810 THI IRON COWBOY (IUI PfCSSHS EJ.
