LEGACY: Dole, Giuliani encourage students to vote, get involved CONTINUED FROM PAGE 16
Gov. Kathleen Sebelius and former President Jimmy Carter joined Dole and Giuliani at a news conference before the dinner.
The leaders were presented with University of Kansas baseball caps and Families of Freedom Jayhawk T-shirts, which raised more than $50,000 for the victims of Sept. 11.
Dole, a KU alum, said the Dole Institute might inspire students to vote and get involved in politics.
"We're not going to turn the world around at the University of Kansas." Dole said. "But maybe we can make a dent."
Giuliani said the epidemic of young people not voting in the United States was a problem of education,not politics.
He said the Dole Institute could help students understand how politics work, so they could understand the importance of voting.
Former President Gerald Ford was
scheduled to attend the dedication and dinner, but couldn't because of health problems.
Ford and Dole earned the Republican presidential and vice presidential nominations and ran against Carter, a democrat, in the 1976 election.
Carter and Dole said they had "great admiration" for each other even though they were former opponents.

WAR: WWII naval officer honored by friend in 'KU's finest hour'
"I tried to be a friend, a useful person."
After he left combat, Schiefelbusch came to the University. When asked what he wanted to study, Schiefelbusch said he "wanted to learn how to help people." He majored in clinical speech and psychology and founded the Speech-Language-Hearing Clinic in 1949. After 35 years as the director of the clinic, it was renamed The Schiefelbusch Institute for Life Span Studies.
The final speaker, John "Buck" Newsom, was a naval science professor at the
University after the war. One of his most vivid memories from the war included a fellow naval officer, Doug Payne, who spent four years during the war dedicated to one ship, the USS Hopkins.
In a tribute to the 23 veterans on the stage with the presenters, an emotional Newsom saluted them and all the other "Doug Paynes" in the building.
As the crowd applauded Newsom and the other presenters, Chancellor Robert Hemenway took the stage, calling the
event "one of KU's finest hours."
Jackie Bates, Hoisington senior, and Elizabeth Gralton, Brookfield, Wis., junior, attended the event on advice from the marines staying in Templin Hall.
"They made us aware of how big and how special an event like this is," Gralton said. "And how incredible it is that all of these people are here in the same area to share their experiences with us."

State Fair visitors to enjoy air-conditioned food court
HUTCHINSON — Visitors to this year's Kansas State Fair might want to carry something they would usually leave behind: a long-sleeved shirt
Eleven longtime food vendors are being moved into permanent quarters in the old Commercial Building.
About $4 million has been spent to renovate and air-condition both Cottonwood Court and the Domestic Arts building
"What really excites us is that we were able to take two very historic buildings and restore them and improve them inside and out," said state fair General Manager Denny Stoecklein.
For this year's fair, which runs Sept. 5 to 14, the building will offer seating for up to 1,000 diners at a time.
There will still be dozens of other food vendors on the fairgrounds.
But open space and cool air will make for pleasant eating in Cottonwood Court.
