All these years later he still could not fathom why he had done it. It wasn’t something he had thought about doing, but one day he just did it, showed up and got the gig on the carrier current station that reached 96% of the campus. On a good day. But he liked it and before long the “real” station, on the FM side of the house, needed someone to organize the news. So he raised his hand and became the News Director. And since he was now in the “management” inner circle, he claimed a morning gig on the FM twice a week, 7 to 10 A.M. It meant not taking a course or two he might have wanted but he knew his English major was just his way out of the place, not a career move. And he got his FCC engineering license which made the Navy ROTC guys who engineered the shows for DJ’s without a license happy. They did not like mornings and they were not all that fond of late nights either.
