Hunt will move in during late August with his wife, Alison, and two children, 10- year old Rachel and 2-year old Christopher. Mrs. Hunt will spend most of the first year of their three year term getting her doctorate from UCLA. "I haven't had time to think about the appointment much. There's not much that can prepare you for the situation, said Hunt. "At first, I wasn't excited by the prospect- -not many people are. There are so many apparent negatives, like livingin public with your family, putting your scholarly work on the back burnerandhavingtomove. But the positive aspects of being a part of campus life, getting a half year off to catch up with work after the three year term, and the nice house came into view, so we decided to accept it," continued Hunt. Hunt has been professor of philosophy at Whittier College since 1981. He was born in Glendale in 1952 and graduated summa cum laude from Pomona College. Hunt completed his graduate studies at Vanderbilt University. In the fall of 1992, he was the Whittier Director in Copenhagen, and is knowledgeable in Greek, Latin, and French. Ash appointed Hunt after consulting the Faculty Personnel Committee, which is chaired by Stephen Overturf, and includes Dean of Faculty Lisa Rossbacher, Chair of the Faculty Joe Price, professors Don Bremme, Fritz Smith, Paula Radisich, and Amy Mass. Tm not sure what to expect from Hunt, except variety. I encourage faculty masters to follow their own agenda and personality. I tell them not to feel constrained by patterns others have followed," said Ash. "Archer has been a magnificent founding faculty master. The Archers have just been splendid in the way they have enriched campus life, and the campus is indebted to them. I am deeply appreciative for their service," said Ash. Archer stated, "We feel it was a good choice, and we hope they have as good a time as we did." Courtesy of the PR Depinment David Hunt with his daughter Rachel at the 1985 Commencement. Hunt, his wife, Alison, his daughter, and his son, Christopher will be moving Into Wanberg House In August. "It's an excellent choice because they bring another model of an academic family for Whittier students to see," added Radisich, current Faculty Master Resident. "I have some philosophers in mind to ask to come on campus. But clearly, we don't want fifty philosophers. I will be open to suggestions. A lot of programs are initiated by other professors or someone else on campus," said Hunt. * "An exciting part of the job will be filling the open slots with concerts and plays. I see this as an opportunity to do things that I like with students," continued Hunt. Overturf stated, "More of what we were looking for than balance of disciplines were the qualities that could lead a person to be a good faculty master. There are different models for the faculty master position. From David Hunt we can expect good organization skills, and someone who's well-connected with the outside community and interesting programs." Price added, "David and Alison will do extremely well as faculty masters. They will provide dynamic, quality programs and vitality on campus. He is well qualified since he was recently promoted to senior professor status and because he is engaged in scholarly activity beyond Whittier." Daryl Seaton, junior, said, "I sat on the Religious Life Committee with him, and I think hell do a greatjob." Hunt is presently taking part in a postdoctoral fellowship at Notre Dame University. Two years ago, Dr. Hilmi Ibrahim was contacted by President Ash to be the Faculty Master. Ibrahim told Ash that they "would talk about it when the time came." When Ibrahim was contacted this year, he declined because he was going on sabbatical next year to work on his book. However,Ibrahimiskeep- ing himself open for future pos- sibilities.
