New Religion Dean Man of Mixed Interests
By Byron Klapper
Scholar, soldier, athlete, world traveler, and minister all apply to the Rev. William Joseph Moore, dean of the School of Religion.
Dean Moore represents the interests of religion in higher education on the University campus. Not just the Protestant religion but the cause of all religions. People should understand religions from a scholastic viewpoint, he contends.
DEAN MOORE
"I HAVE IN MIND a program for the treatment of religion that would enable students to be intelligent workers in the religious field.
Prior to accepting the position as dean, the Rev. Mr. Moore taught courses in theology at the graduate level at Drake University, Des Moines, Ia.
He received his Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Divinity, and Master of Arts at Butler University, Indiana and his Ph.D. in Bible studies at the University of Chicago.
"I hope that students from here will relate themselves to the church during their lifetime in order to make the church a better place through intelligent efforts.
From the University of Chicago, the Rev. Mr. Moore returned to Butler University as a member of its faculty, where he remained for 5 years until the outbreak of World War II.
AS AN ARMY CHAPLAIN, Dean Moore served in the South Pacific, New Guinea, New Briton, and the Philippines.
Dean Moore was born in Australia, and at the age of 23, he came to the United States to pursue his studies in the field of religion.
"...the youth of America should have a scholastic understanding of religion."
As a youth, his favorite sport was Australian football, a game not at all like our American version, he said. Recalling those youthful days,
Dean Moore said that he used to work during the day and practice football at night.
"I'd travel many miles in order to play football," Dean Moore recalled.
"And then I would come home at night and nurse the bruises."
On crisp spring or fall days Dean Moore still enjoys getting in a few games of tennis, but he prefers to
THE REV. MR. MOORE was serving as a minister at the Fairfield Christian Church, Fairfield, Ind., when he met Audra Wood, who was a pianist at the church and who later became his wife. They were married in 1932 at the home of the Dean of the School of Religion at Butler University, where they were both attending classes.
play doubles, as singles are a bit too strenuous.
Dean and Mrs. Moore have three children, Fred, 23; Nancy, 18; and Mary, 14.
DEAN MOORE and his family moved into the dean's residence at Myers Hall Sept. 1. When asked how he liked Lawrence and the University, the dean replied:
"What I have seen is very heart-
tening. I like the town, and I think
Lawrence is a delightful place to
live."
"I like to work with tools, and for some time I made my living as a carpenter," he said. "The cottage gives me plenty of opportunity to roll up my sleeves and work."
Dean Moore considers his new capacity as dean of the School of Religion a challenge.
Dean Moore also has a cottage at Crystal Lake in Frankfort, Mich. that he and his family built.
"IT IS A CHALLENGE to do for:

religion what is being done for business, art, economies and the sciences," he said. "It is extremely important that the youth of America have a scholastic understanding of religion.
KU Prepares TV Survey Programs
"Religion is an important aspect of life at the University, and students should have a rational interest in the study of the Bible, origin of the church, and the meaning of all religions," he said.
A series of 13 quarter-hour programs based on an educational survey of Kansas recently has been prepared here.
The survey, prepared for the Kansas Legislative Council, considers the problems of education from kindergarten through the Ph.D. levels. The series has been scheduled for broadcast by 17 stations.
Fee Paying Starts Tomorrow
Local radio stations scheduled to carry the series are KTOP-FM and WIBW of Topeka and KUDL of Kansas City, Mo. The series will begin on Sunday.
Fee payment begins tomorrow morning for students whose names begin with the letters A through H. Payment ends Saturday, with that morning set aside for students who failed to pay at regularly scheduled times.
That old waitin' game, a favorite pastime of students, could be expensive during fee payment time, according to James K. Hitt, registrar and director of admissions.

"We have found that students tend to put the payment of fees off until the last minute," Mr. Hitt said. He added that this could prove expensive for some.
Students whose last names end in the letters I through S are scheduled to pay Thursday. The rest are scheduled to pay on Friday.
Hall will be highly congested. For students who have not paid fees by Saturday, a penalty of two dollars a day for late payment goes into effect Monday.
