FINDS TIME TO BE A SCHOLAR
H-SU Radio Station Boss, Senior, Sets Fast Pace

By WAYLAND YATES
H-SU Brand Editor

What makes up a semester's work in college? For some it may be a routine of daily class attendance and nightly study, but not so for Winston L. Moore, Hardin-Simmons University senior.

Moore, one of the most energetic students on the H-SU campus, takes an active part in radio, journalism, and dramatic work at the university. He is manager of the campus radio station, feature editor of the Brand, and was vice president of the Players Club during the fall semester. He is an active member of the Radio Club, Press Club, and Spanish Club. At the same time, he has maintained a B plus average in 19 semester hours of school work, a load of four hours above the normal 15.

At present Moore is committee chairman for the H-SU Intercollegiate Rodeo and Frontier Fracas week. A member of the Rodeo Association at Hardin-Simmons, he arrange publicity tours for the third annual show which will be held at Fair Park arena Friday and Saturday.

The enterprising senior wrote and produced two short plays during the fall semester and played the leading role inthe play production group's first play of the year, a cutting from Joh Steinbeck's "Of Mice and Men." He had to curtail some of his dramatic actvity at the beginning of the spring term when he became lab instructor in the radio department, but still takes an active part in promoting the work of the Players.

When KHSU, campus station, was being readied for its initial broadcast in January, Moore turned carpenter-soundproofer and constructed the studios and control room for the new station. When the station started operations, he became its manager and has since conducted a daily musical program, The Hitchin' Post.

"Just to keep from having too much spare time," Moore wrote three songs and a number of radio plays. Several of these have been presented by the radio group over KRBC and KWKC, local radio stations.

Winston is married and has one son in the fourth grade in College Heights school. "If I weren't married," he says, "I guess I'd spend all my time on the campus." As it is, Moore gets home around nine most nights.

Majoring in journalism with minors in speech and education, Moore doesn't confine his interest to those fields. He likes to talk economic theory, relativity, and other subjects just as well. The son of Mrs. F.V. Moore of Clyd, Winston entered Hardin-Simmons as freshman in February, 1947. He will graduate this August -- just 31 months from the time he started.

When asked what he intends to do after graduation, Moore said, "I guess I'll stick to radio. I like that field pretty well."
