GOING MODERN: The headquarters for the Armed Forces Radio and Television Network must be a Manhattan or Hollywood high-rise. Wrong! Believe it or not, the network broadcasts from Sun Valley in a building originally built as a bank computer center.. . . The network, which reaches 1.3 million military personnel in 128 countries, plays more Christian rock and fewer Bible services these days, and the soldiers like it. (B13)

SCHOOL LOYALTY: They said they might bail, but the overwhelming majority of CalArts students are sticking with the earthquake-ravaged campus. Friday was the last day students could withdraw and receive a full refund, but only about 80 of the 964 left.. . . The school estimates $2 million in bills for satellite classrooms and lost tuition. (B20)

BUMMED BOWLER: Pity Paul Hagerty. Rocket Bowl in Chatsworth, his weekly hangout for 14 years, won’t reopen till early March because of earthquake damage, sending his mood straight into the gutter. “I miss it,” he complained. “This is my home away from home. Other places charge too much money.”. . . Besides, many (above) remain closed or overcrowded. (C14)

MODEL QB: Palmdale High’s Rocque Sandoval, who has overcome far more than intimidating pass rushers, might find ex-Raider Jim Plunkett a perfect role model. Plunkett’s parents were blind, yet he became a great player who took his team to two Super Bowl titles. . . . Sandoval’s parents are deaf, but that hasn’t stopped him from throwing touchdowns and picking up plenty of support from home. (C14)

EVERYTHING COUNTS: Don’t call tonight’s taping of “The Jackson Family Honors” in Las Vegas a strictly charity event; much of the dough goes to cover expenses. (F1) . . . But at least one Valley group, the Permanent Charities Committee of the Entertainment Industry in Studio City, will send some money raised to quake victims.
