Call 464-2651 for av Opening of Spot Heralds Culinary Change CAMPUS INN ► The anxiously awaited Spot opened this week, inperfectsync with" the influx of freshmen and the advent of the equally anticipated Flex program. by LORNA BELL QC Editor-in-Chief After years of planning and an entire year of construction, The Spot opened on Thursday, Sept. 5, four months past the predicted completion date. The Spot was originally planned to open in April of 1996, yet missed this date due to complications with construction and changes in planning according to Bon Appetit General Manager, J.P. Dozier and Director of Projects, Nelson Park. "I would say we are opening just a month later than we planned, probably because the kitchen equipment company did not perform as well as we had hoped," Park said. j^nother complication occurred surrounding tne addition of acharcoal broilerto the kitchen of The Spot because it required a special venting system which utilizes air from outside. It took three weeks to develop a scheme which would incorporate such a machine, according to Park. Park, who has worked on nu- Jascha Kaykas-Wolff/QC Photo Editor Readily stocked for your snacking needs, The Spot is finally open for business. merous projects for the college, including the Shannon Center and Turner Hall, rated The Spot as among one ofthe most complicated projects on which he has worked. "The Spot has a little.bit of everything-—it was challenging to jam so much stuff into such a relatively small space," Park said, "everything was constricted by space." The Spot, together with the Club, was refurbished in order to create a space that students can call their own, where they can get food/drinks and have a place to hang out on campus late at night, according to director of student activities, Tracy Poon. "The idea was to make use of the existing space—the old Spot was too small to do what it was meant to do," architect William Jones said. In order to increase the size of the old Spot to the current size of 35TTO square feet, the bathrooms had to be moved to the rear and a 20 foot concrete wall at the bottom ofthe inside stairs was sawed out and replaced with a steel beam. The bookstore storage units were used as a firm divider between The Club and The Spot, accord- Please see SPOT pg. 6 Hewitt Resigns to Work for Poet Rival Enders Leaves Enrollment, Lahti Hired for Interim ApMINISTRATjON ► Looking for greater opportunities and challenges, Harold Hewitt moves to Occidental College, while U.C.LA. Vice President Jo Ann Hanidn carries on in his place. by MIKE GARABEDIAN QC Managing Editor Vice President of Finance and Administration Harold Hewitt has taken on the position of Chief Financial Officer (C.F.O.) for Occidental College in Eagle Rock, Ca. Hewitt left Whittier College on July 15 after more than seven years at this institution. Hewitt said that his decision to leave was based upon the potential for career advancement. "Oxy is a bigger opportunity," he said. "Many of the challenges that F ve faced at Whittier are now coming around again. I realized that I wasn't able to grow further." With an endowment nearly three times that of Whittier College and a host of financial difficulties that have plagued the instiution in the past, Hewitt hopes to lead the fiscal revision at Occidental in order to further his career in administration. Although the traditional path to a college presidency is through the faculty, CFOs have been considered in recent years. Hewitt first learned about the Occidental position after he was sought out by a consultant from the placement firm Korn Ferry International. "There was a strong sense of responsibility to this institution," Hewitt said. "I was torn, and initially leaned toward the needs of Whittier College." After being contacted again by a Korn Ferry consultant on behalf of Occidental, Hewitt reevaluated the offer and then met with a committee of Occidental faculty and administration before deciding to accept the position. Hewitt began his career at Whittier on September 18, 1988.
