Smoots ladies AppaRel Moore walks into SUSC by Tracy Hopkins Thirteen years ago when Dr. Robert A. Moore stopped at a nearby service station to buy a new tire, he went on a little walk with his family to pass the time. Before he left Cedar City that day not only did he have a new tire, he had a new job. Moore, professor of business administration here at SUSC, said that even before he came to work here in 1970, he liked Cedar City. We would drive by at least once a year, he said, and every time we would say what a lovely place, I wonder what we could do to live here. Then one day I went on a walk, went to the campus, talked to some wonderful people, and had a teaching job. My wife and I had considered being painters, writers, anyth.ng that would allow us to pick our own geographical place to work in. We never even considered teaching. Moore received his bachelor of science degree in industrial management in 1958, then went to California to work for Hughes Aircraft Corporation where he was a contract negotiator. I worked at Hughes for 12 years, he said, and I loved my job. I also loved my house, but I had to get away from all the congestion, pollution and people. I knew Cedar was the place for me. When he called his mother at their home in Provo to tell her of his new teaching job she asked him if he had applied at BYU. They have more people on their faculty then we have students, he said. I wouldnt even have considered it. He received his masters degree in 1964 at California State University in Long Beach, and after teaching at SUSC for six years he received his doctorate at BYU in education administration. Moores doctoral dissertation was a follow-u- p of 1972, 73 and 74 SUSC business graduates. He researched how successful the graduates were, whether or not they were employed within their academic field, how far from home they went for work, and if, in general, they were happy. He said it was a successful follow-u- p and had a very positive conclusion. Moore said he is very proud of our business department. In this decade there are more business students than ever. On a national average right now, one out of every four students that have declared majors are in business. Here at SUSC, that figure is even higher. I think that says something for our business department. Our students do very well in competition with other , 19 noRth main schools, and they do get the jobs. As far as the faculty and the school is concerned, Moore believes in both very strongly. He said he always liked the school here, but it was the faculty members that really convinced him to come. We have a faculty here unequaled in the state, he said. Were committed to our teaching and our students. We could make twice as much money somewhere else, but here we are. Moore believes this is one of the best places in the world to teach, for nowhere else can faculty know their students by their first names; know what they are doing not only in the classroom, but also what they are doing outside of it; know their accomplishments and much about them that anywhere else you could not hope to know. I just love this school, he said. I cant imagine going anyplace else. Moores interests are wide and varied. He, his wife and his three children just completed a goal that took seven summers to fulfill. This goal was to tour every state in the union. Last year they completed their travels with a trip to Alaska, where they spent two months. e In addition to teaching Moore is also a carpenter and has built much of his own home. He took night classes to learn cabinetmaking and loved every minute of it. Moore is now building a cabin on some property he just bought on the mountain. He really enjoys building and hopes he can someday do much more. Moore also has some very important social interests that keep him busy. He is currently the president of the Utah Association of Academic Professionals.
