(AGC-rl All HEWS 85.5 CONTINUOUS -24 HOURS FM DIM There are really only two paths a young disc jockey can travel to achieve success, financial security and fulfillment in the radio business. One leads to New York, the other to Hollywood. In between, there are innumerable stops, or blockades. The apprenticeship is insufferable. He may be a country and western announcer in Pine Bluff, a top 40 honker in Flint, or an all-around handyman in King City, operating the transmitter on his day off.

Even if he is a native of New York or Los Angeles, he is often required to leave and work his way back to the big towns. You meet quite a few shoe salesmen who gave up in King City. Chuck Southcott, who plays the best music in town nightly on KGIL, traveled a course that is almost surrealistic by common standards. He had a right to surrender at the beginning. We go back to 1956 when Chuck and his stepfather went to the Virgin Islands to teach the tourist mob skin diving and spear fishing.

While the fish were laying low, a friend offered Chuck a disc jockey job on WSTA, St. Thomas, Virgin Islands. It was a secret affiliate of NBC and Mutual and the networks wanted it that way. "I got 50 cents an hour," said Chuck, "and my buddy underlined the copy for me, telling me where to accent certain words, etc. The only thing I knew how to do was play good music.

I was only 16 and, fortunately, was not educated to the rock n' roll scene back home (Santa Monica)." But he was educated to one of the strangest scenes imaginable, since WSTA had an improvisational format that would do justice to Jonathan Winters. "I played a lot of requests," he remembered, "for 25 cents a record. It was in the French village and they never heard of payola. Neither did I. They'd ask for everything but rock music, mostly jazz and western tunes.

"Every day at noon we'd have a siesta and the whole town would disappear. And, every day, the boss' son would come in and play Ravel's Bolero edt during siesta it drove us nuts. One day he got sick and we threw it in the Caribbean." Also, according to Chuck, communications weren't too exotic. The NBC and Mutual newscasts were taped in Miami and flown in always two days late. It really loused up the Presidential election for them.

In fact, a lot of the residents still think Hoover's got it. Southcott's next stop was Santa Monica to finish high school. He then resumed his career as a disc jockey in Bakersfield, which is like the Virgin Islands without the scenic beauty. Since 1962, Chuck has been lodged at KGIL, playing the swingingest sounds this side of St. Thomas.

Chuck Southcott's career could be called "The Road Back or, You Can Hardly Get Here From There." BIGGEST NEWS IN STEREO THE FISHER 220-T 55-WATT, AM-FM STEREO RECEIVER BIGGEST VALUE, TOO!

If space is ruled to be nonscientif ic, then it must be balanced against other nonscientific expenditures like highways, schools or civil defense. "If we do space research because of prestige, then we should ask whether we get more prestige from a man on the moon than from successful control of the water-logging problem in Pakistan's Indus Valley Basin. "If we do space research because of its military implications, we ought to say so."
