Another activity in which Bush has been known to engage is streaking. "I'm not much into the big, organized streaking," Bush, a one-time Primal Scream participant, says, "I like random occurrences."

Negin said in an e-mail message that Bush "has a certain penchant for late-night, drunken nakedness, either alone or with his roommates, running around the Quad naked on any given night from a Monday afternoon to late Saturday night. This disturbs us and sometimes amuses us."

Bush's roommate of four years William C. "Bill" Ewing '99 says he thinks Bush (or "Bushman," as he is known to his friends and roommates) is well known on campus due largely to his willingness to do anything for a good time.

"I'll do anything if it's fun," Bush says.

Bush's bid for the Undergraduate Council presidency his junior year also increased his name recognition on campus. Bush, who served on the Undergraduate Council for one year, says he decided to jump into the election on the spur of the moment because he was "just sick of the way things were being run."

One of Bush's most memorable campaign tactics was to sit on a throne made of beer cans and one can of Ginger Ale (in recognition of students who do not drink alcohol). After the election (Bush finished third out of seven candidates), the throne was sold at a Cabot House auction and has since been recycled.

Ewing describes being a roommate of Bush by saying, "Sometimes it has been aggravating as hell; sometimes it has been a lot of fun. Most of the time it has been a lot of fun."

"There have been ups and there have been downs, but it has been a memorable ride to say the least," Ewing says.

Does he plan on continuing the tradition of throwing wild parties after college? "I'm gonna always have fun," Bush says, "but not necessarily more parties."

"There's a time and a place for everything," he says. "You have to be more responsible once you leave college."

After graduation, Bush will work for AnswerThink Consulting in Burlington, Mass. He will be putting the skills he learned in three computer science classes to use building databases. He says that he also hopes to volunteer at a zoo such as the Franklin Park Zoo or the New England Zoo. In terms of future career plans, Bush says that in a couple of years he hopes to get a degree in zoology or possibly an MBA. He says that ultimately he hopes to work with animals or computers in a zoo.

Bush says, "I like playing with computers, but you're not outside enough for me."

Ewing says that 15 to 20 years from now Bush "will either be a good, hardworking zoo keeper, or else King Kong Bushman of some professional wrestling association."

Bush says he does not watch professional sports on television with the exception of "professional" wrestling. "[The World Wrestling Federation (WWF)] is where it's at," he says, noting that he watches the WWF every Monday night.

Though he did not write a thesis, Bush will be graduating with honors in biological anthropology and is publishing a paper along with Professor of Anthropology Richard W. Wrangham and Cory L. Costanzo '99 in the journal Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology. The paper, which is about how predation pressures affect baboon group size, grew out of a research seminar Bush took his junior year.

Wrangham, who has known Bush for two years, describes him as an "eager, efficient, cheerful and enthusiastic" student.
