the leaders who were sitting be
side him and in the audience.
“When I look out here at the
dedicated leaders from my ad
ministration, I see... well, I see
half the field for the 1996 cam
paign,” Bush said. “This li
brary and everything it repre
sents would not have been pos
sible without these people.”
Some of his special guests
were Brian Mulroney, former
Canadian prime minister;
George W. Bush, governor-elect
of Texas; Lamar Alexander,
former secretary of education;
Andrew Card, former secretary
of transportation; Edward Der-
winski, former secretary of vet
erans’ affairs; Lawrence Eagle-
burger, former secretary of
state; Lynn Martin, former sec
retary of labor; Brent Scow-
croft, former national security
advisor; Louis Sullivan, former
secretary of health and human
services; and John Sununu,
former chief of staff.
The Bushes, A&M officials
and former members of Bush’s
administration then participat
ed in the actual breaking of
ground for the library.
After the ceremony, the
Bushes attended a luncheon at
the MSC with six hundred in
vited guests, where Bush was
presented with a hardhat as a
remembrance of the ground
breaking events.
Bowen said he was antici
pating the time when Bush
would return to the University.
“I look forward to the days
when you’re a frequent visitor to
our campus,” Bowen said. “This
is a wonderful occurrence for all
of us, especially the future gen
erations of our students.”
The Presidential Library Cen
ter will include the library and
museum, the Center for Presi
dential Studies, the Center for In
ternational Studies, the George
Bush School of Government and
Public Service and several acade
mic departments.
Bush said he hoped the li
brary and school will give
something back to the people.
Construction will begin soon
on the $82 million project with
completion set for 1997.
The Bush Library will be the
10th presidential library oper
ated by the National Archives.
Bush graduated from
Phillips Academy in 1942 and
served as a fighter pilot in
World War II. When commis
sioned, he was the youngest pi
lot in the U.S. Navy.
After the war, he graduated
from Yale University with a de
gree in economics. He moved
to Texas and co-founded Zapa
ta Offshore Co. in 1953.
He represented Texas’ 7th
Congressional District in the
U.S. House of Representatives
from 1966 to 1970. He was di
rector of the Central Intelli
gence Agency in 1976. After
serving eight years as Ronald
Reagan’s vice president, Bush
was elected president in 1988
and served until 1993.
He and his wife Barbara
now live in Houston.

Dr. Nancy Dyer, associate
dean of the College of Liberal
Arts, said she was interested in
the academic side of the Bush
library and museum.
“Academic programs are the
strength of all of this,” Dyer
said. “They will enhance the
value of the library and the
graduate programs in presiden
tial studies.”
Lawre Alexander, a senior
theater arts major, said she
thought the event was a well-
handled, respectful event.
“He’s the kind of president
that it should be that way,”
Alexander said.
Alexander said she hopes
the library will be useful and
not just be a monument.
“I think it is cool he is teach
ing,” Alexander said, “but I bet
it will be hard to get his class.
“Bush says he wants public
service to be a big emphasis of
this library,” she said. “If he is
actually out there teaching stu
dents, that will show he
means it.”

was a fan of former President

“I love George Bush,” Still said.
“I’m a fightin’ Texas Aggie by
heart, and I have attended every
important event at Texas A&M
since 1959. I wouldn’t have
missed it for the world.”
Mary Nan West, chairman of
the Texas A&M University Sys

New parking areas under consideration by Regent
By Jan Higginbotham
The Battalion
The Texas A&M System
Board of Regents planning and
building committee approved a
proposal Wednesday that could
bring more parking spaces to
the school’s campus.
The proposal, which will be
presented to the entire Board
today, will create 430 surface
parking spaces near the Med
ical Sciences Library and the
Reynolds Medical Building on
West Campus.
Tom Williams, director of
Parking Transit and Traffic Ser
vices, said the new lot will in
clude 168 visitor parking spots.
“The key now is having the
parking there when we need it
for visitors,” Williams said.
The new lot will include a toll
booth, barrier gates and card
readers placed at three en
trances. The contract for the pro
ject, if approved, will be awarded
to Young Contractors, Inc. of
Bryan for almost $500,000.
Dr. Jerry Gaston, interim
vice president for finance and
administration, said the pro
ject should pay for itself.
“Funding for the project
would be from parking rev
enues,” Gaston said. “The big
cost will come from extending
the electrical currents to the
md
the
toll booth
barrier gates.”
The construction of the toll
booth along with the new lot is
expected to create new student
worker positions.
“The need for visitor park
ing is agreed upon,” Gaston
said. “The question now is the
staffing. The value of the per
son on the job there is much
more than what it would cost
us in one year to pay that per
son.”
Regent Guadalupe Rangel
said the workers in the toll
booth would add a measure of
safety to the parking lot be
cause their presence could de
ter any possible criminal
chief in the area.
Regent T. Michael O’C
said he would like theU
sity to look into the p'
of building a new p
garage on West Cnmpus.
“I suggest we go ahea
this base bid and then
into the construction of
ti-story parking facility
Connor said.
Gaston said he will
a report to Board at its
ary meeting on the Uni' foni Ri
ty’s future plans for
development where hew
