Hastert to discuss public affairs atA& Library Continued from page 1A in Boston is the most popular presidential library because of the location, but the Bush Library had 3,000 more visi tors last year than the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library locat ed on the University of Texas campus, Blake said. “From where we are located the numbers are very good. We will try for the next million in the next three years,” he said. But before the one mil lionth visitor was greeted, vis itors to the library Monday afternoon caught a glimpse of the first portrait of father and son presidents. The painting features the for mer president and his son President George W. Bush standing side by side, looking into the distance. The portrait was commis sioned in 2001 by the George Bush Library Foundation and painted by New York artist Ronald N. Sherr, Blake said. The portrait was inspired by the Bush Library exhibit “Fathers and Sons: Two families Four Presidents.” The only other father-son presidents, John Quincy Adams and his son John Adams, were never painted together. “It is a unique opportunity to show both presidents together and their family connection,” said Patricia Burchfield, muse um curator. “It is a very good and handsome portrait to have in our collection.” Sheer made a trip in 2001 to Camp David, and was told that he only had 30 minutes to take photographs for the painting. Former President Bush joked that he and his son acquired the nicknames 41 and 43 because of Sheer. “He was a little nervous” Bush said. “He looked at his own watch and he’d burned up about four minutes and he said ‘all right 41 would you look out there and 43, look out there.’” Blake said the Smithsonian museum in Washington D.C. has already requested the por trait be on display there. However, Blake said, the painting will stay in College Station at least through the summer. “We hope folks want to see it,” he said. “It is definitely a kudos for the community, plus students should remember they get in free, so they have no excuses.” Speaker of the House Des Hastert will present the Waldo Cameron Forum on Ru Affairs at the George 6.

"We Tuition Continued from page 1A tuition. Justin Unruh, spokesman for Morrison, said the bill, which the committee took up two weeks ago, is still a work in progress as Morrison tries to build a consensus among com mittee members about the issue. “We’re not wedded to any specific plan,” Unruh said. “Our main concerns are to give uni versities the (tuition) flexibility they need to remain competitive and to provide protection for middle income families. We don’t want them to bear the brunt (of tuition hikes).” If the House passes a dereg ulation measure, a conference committee will hammer out a compromise between the Senate and House tuition bills, Unruh said. With tuition deregulation dead in the Senate, A&M offi cials are studying Morrison’s bill and other deregulation pro posals, but have not decided whether to support any specific legislation, said Bob Wright, A&M University System spokesman. Until there is a better idea of just how deep the budget cuts will go, the University cannot estimate how much leeway it will need to raise tuition to off set losses in funding. “We’ve heard so many dif ferent (budget) numbers,” Wright said. “Sooner or later one figure will rise to the top and we can start making more accurate calculations.” Shiites Continued from page 1A American alcohol le Najaf, sent in thousands of volun teers to manage security and traf fic.

In addition, the U.S. military said police on Monday arrested six men who had been planning to blow up two of Karbala’s mosques. Five of the detainees claimed to be members of Saddam’s Baath Party, and one said he belonged to al-Qaida.
