IT SEEMS PERFECT FOR " Abbott Fuller Graves and other Kennebunkport artists. “One of the paintings on display by Robert Payne is usually hanging in the Bush’s kitchen at their home in Houston,” he said. “The entire exhibit is very personal to the Bush family.” The history section of the ex hibit has artifacts dating back to the 17th century. One of the arti facts on display is a Bible owned by the Baxters, a prominent family in Kennebunkport. “The Bible was taken by the In dians who took Mrs. Baxter captive and killed her in the woods,” he said. “The Bible was found the next spring after the snow melted in the woods, and it now is one of the Baxter family’s most treasured possessions.” The final section of the exhibit showcases Bush family vacations at Kennebunkport. Among the photos displayed are a picture of George Bush napping on a ham mock and a photo of Bush and his daughter wearing fish-shaped hats. David Alsobrook, director of the Bush Presidential Library and Mu seum, said the exhibit focuses on an important aspect of Bush’s life. “George Bush’s mother was born at Kennebunkport in 1901,” he said. “He spent all of his sum mers there, with the exception of when he was serving in World War II.” Bush Continued from Page 1 calling of public service,” he said. “The system and the office of the presidency is resilient, and the trouble of history will give way to better times.” The Bushes said they value most the friendships ihc j during their political carei “We made wonderfulfm i 'ongivss with vvhomww in touch with,” he sail make friends on bothside|j aisle, Democrat and i The Bushes said theyaa| with chm liable work form Clinic, the M.M Amlersonl Center and organizations^ illiteracy.

Mary Anne Symms, Aggie Hos tel student assistant and a senior nutritional sciences major, said Aggie Hostel is a week-long event where 80 former students, called hostelers, return to campus and relive their days as students. Dur ing the week, the former students stay in the dorms, attend classes and participate in evening social events. “At night, [the former stu dents] have fun activities like a hoedown at Shadow Canyon, Ring Dance and graduation cer emonies,” she said. Each year, 20 students are se lected as hosts for the conference. The hosts are paired together and assigned to groups of four former students and their wives. The hosts participate in most of the conference activities with the groups. Dusty Batsell, a student host last year and a junior construction science major, said participating in the activities with the former students helped him understand what it means to be an Aggie. Symms said applications for student hosts are available in the Student Programs Office, Student Activities in the Koldus building. Multicultural Services and the As sociation of Former Students. The applications are due Friday at 5 p.m. in the Clayton Williams Alumni Center.
