    3697 Guyhurst (1984 EV) is a main-belt asteroid discovered on March 6, 1984 by Bowell, E. at Flagstaff (AM).

    Named in honor of Guy M. Hurst, editor of the British amateur astronomical journal "The Astronomer" since 1975. An enthusiastic visual observer of comets and variable stars himself, he is in contact with an enormous network of other observers all over western Europe, and his frequent assistance in thereby securing verifications of reports for the IAU Central Telegram Bureau is greatly appreciated. Name suggested by R. H. McNaught and B. G. Marsden, the citation being prepared by the latter.
