Hoza Named New Head Football Coach
by Alexander Mackie
QC Advertising Manager
Kirk Hoza was announced
as the Whittier College headfoot-
ball coach by President James
Ash on Tuesday after a two
month nationwide search.
Hoza, 31, replaces Ken
Visser who resigned Nov. 30 to
run Chapman College'snewfoot-
ball program.
A committee made up of
administrators, faculty, a student, alumni and athletic department staff concluded the search
on Friday afternoon and recommended Hoza to Ash. Based on
the committees strong recommendation, Ash immediately
began to pursue him.
Hoza has been a defensive
coach at the college and high
school levels for the past eight
years. He was the defensive coordinator and a recruiter for the
University of Redlands, a
memeber ofthe same conference
as Whittier, during the last two
years
According to committee
members, Hoza's experience in
Southern California, knowledge
of Division HI football and his
familiarity with the league and
Whittier College were very important factors in their decision.
"First and foremost, he understands people are here to be
students," Charles Adams, a faculty representative to the committee and the college's National
Collegiate Athletic Association
faculty representative, said. "The
committee was looking for someone that understands Division
in football and understands how
athletics and academics fit together. We felt(Hoza) could coach
football successfully in our environment."
According to committee
members, Hoza, who obtained his
MBA from the University of
Lousiville in 1989, also has the
, ability to teach.
The search was conducted
within a short amount of time in
order the minimize its effect on
the football program's recruiting
efforts.
"Fortunately Rich Kim and
Whittier College Represented
at Dedication of New Wing at
Nixon Presidential Library
by Alan Dicker
QC Sports Editor
Several students, faculty,
and administrators attended the
groundbreaking ceremony for
the Richard Nixon Presidental
Library at YorbaLinda on Thursday, January 21. Keynote speakers at the ceremony included
former Presidents Nixon and
Gerald Ford.
Nixon, a Whittier College
alumnus, celebrated the day by
joining his entire cabinet and
many local politicians.
The reason for the gathering was to dedicate "an innovative new policy center, The Center for Peace and Freedom focused on the pursuit of enlightened national interest in foreign
policy and pragmatic idealism
abroad," according to library
president John Taylor.
Taylor introduced former
Secretaries of State Henry
Kissinger and William Rogers,
Secretaries of the Treasury
George Shultz and William
Simon, and former Presidents
Ford and Nixon.
All of the speakers commended Nixon on establishing
relations between the United
States and China, and supported
his visions, views and opinions.
Ford commended Nixon's
defeat of communism, while
Nixon used a football analogy to
thank Ford for his service to the
United States. "Both of us played
football in college. You were a
star center at Michigan, while I
never even received aletter from
Whittier. You were not an ail-
American in football, but in the
navy, in congress, and as vice
president of the United States
you were an all-star," Nixon said,
speaking without notecards, as
he did during his Presidency.
Senior Katie Dezember, who
represented the WhittierCollege
Model United Nations program
at the ceremony said that it was
"exciting to be there. It was a
great experience to be there to
hear Mr. Shultz and Mr.
Kissinger. I also thought Nixon
was very well versed for his age,"
she said.
Sophomore Tom Savage, who
is President ofthe Richard Nixon
Republican Club at Whittier, said
Nixon had "valid insights on foreign relations. Nixon keeps his
audiences in awe when he speaks.
Ifs amazing that he can give detailed speeches without notes,"
he commented.
Sophomore Rian
Windsheimer said that it was
great to be close to a former president. "I thought he looked good,
even though Pat Nixon just
passed away. Shultz was a good
speaker, though Kissinger was
not as dynamic as I expected."
Senior Greg Whaling was
also impressedby Nixon's speech.
"He spoke with inspiration for
the future. Now that the Cold
War is over, he urged America to
turn its focus to the Pacific Rim."
Also attending the event were
Vice President for Business and
Finance, Harold Hewitt, V. P. for
Advancement Joe Zanetta, and
Professor Michael McBride.

head football coach Kirk Hoza.
Buzz Bavielo (two assistant
coaches under Visser) continued the recruiting process," said
Sherry Calvert, the acting athletic direc&r and memberof the
search committee. "However,
people were hesitant to visit
until a head coach was selected."
The committee received 64
applicantions which was narrowed to 24 qualified applicants
