He also joked about the two years he attended the University, from 1941 to 1943.
Dole remembered meeting with Laurence
Woodruff, dean of students, about his poor grades.
"I get D's in logic." Dole said. "I've never been very logical."
"I think it's remarkable to see someone who is 81 and is as sharp as he is," Bryan Young, Wichita senior, said. "I wonder if I'll be as sharp as him when I'm that age."
After the lecture, Dole autographed books for several hundred people who waited in line.
The Institute also served hot dogs, chips, cookies and beverages to guests after the lecture. David Zainali, Liberal senior, sat in front of the Institute munching chips and hot dogs after the event.
When Woodruff told him that he should think about joining the service, Dole took his advice. He joined the Army the next day. Dole said.
"We didn't know about the food," Disinger said. "But it's a great idea because it has kept a lot of people around talking about the lecture."
Parking

The lot usually holds cars from Lied Center events, students with the Park and Ride option and from Daisy Hill parking overflow.
Stark said he heard about the difficult situation of parking on Daisy Hill before he attended the University.
He said that he liked the direction Shulenburger was going with his proposal to the parking commission, but that the issue was more than approving the Lied Center permit for next school year.
"I think the Lied Center parking pass is something they need to keep indefinitely," he said. "Students should have the choice on parking on Daisy Hill about half the time or being able to park in the Lied Center all the time."
The parking department may try to clear some of the Lied Center parking by building a new park and ride lot on West Campus. But this was not approved when it was originally pitched to the parking commission, Donna Hultine, director of parking, said.
If approved, the parking department would break ground on the new parking lot well into 2006. Hultine said. It would have 1,600 to 2,000 parking spaces and cost between $5 and $8 million. Hultine said.
As far as Lied Center parking for next year, Shulenburger said he did not want a situation where students who lived in residence halls could not find a place to park their cars. He's pushing for an answer within the next few weeks.

Rescuers find outdoorsman after eight days stranded, cold with broken leg

Michael Sisk, physician, discusses how Charles Horton broke his right leg, while using an x-ray of Horton's leg, during a news conference yesterday at Yampa Valley Medical Center in Steamboat Springs, Colo. Horton, 55, broke his leg April 17 while backcountry skiing in a remote area of Rio Blanco County. Horton spent eight nights in the wilderness before being rescued Monday morning.
STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, Colo. — For someone who had spent eight cold nights stranded in the Colorado backcountry with a broken leg, Charles Horton was in great spirits when rescuers reached him.
"I was amazed that he had such a spirit, that he was that close," said Karin Satre, one of two searchers who found Horton early Monday not far from the trail they were patrolling.
"He was going to rescue himself, by golly," she said yesterday.
Horton, a massage therapist and experienced outdoorsman, was in fair condition at Yampa Valley Medical Center. Doctors postponed an operation on his broken leg until today. He also was being treated for a fractured rib, dehydration, minor frostbite and moderate hypothermia.
Horton, an accomplished dancer who often gives lessons, seemed most worried about whether his injury would keep him off the dance floor, Michael Sisk, Horton's doctor, said. Horton will need months of physical therapy and is at risk of developing arthritis or requiring an artificial knee at some point.
"I think with Charlie's attitude, he's going to be back doing everything he was going to, everything he's doing, whether it's with his own knee or an artificial." Sisk said.
Horton's ordeal began April 17, when he fell and broke his leg on what was supposed to be a one-day cross-country ski outing not far from his home in Steamboat Springs, about 100 miles northwest of Denver.
Horton had told just a couple people where he was going, but did not designate one person to check on his return. With most of his friends on vacation, it was a week before anyone realized he was gone.
"We've all acknowledged that that is something that we are all lax on in this community, because we're all so accustomed to going into the woods and going on hikes," friend and spokeswoman Mary O'Brien said.
"He just took too much for granted," said Marc Satre, Karin's husband and a fellow search-and-rescue volunteer.
Horton spent the week alone, sleeping under trees or makeshift shelters and sunning himself during the day to keep warm.
"By Sunday night, he was soaked pretty much to the skin. And at that time, he questioned his
On the third day, he began to inch toward his car three miles away, using his elbows to drag himself along.
ability to go on much longer," O'Brien said
On Sunday, his longtime friend and landlord Johnny Walker returned from vacation and found Horton's cat unfed, his plants without water and a slew of phone messages wondering why Horton had missed massage appointments.
Walker called the sherriff's office; the search began early Monday.
"It was a little bit lucky," search commander Jim Vail said. "(The engines) woke him up and then he started whistling."
About an hour into the hunt, when two rescuers had shut off their snowmobile engines to dig one of their machines out of the snow, they heard someone blowing on a whistle.
Searchers split into two groups, with Karin Satre and Pete Schwartz heading down a Forest Service road.
Suddenly, Schwartz slammed on his brakes and Satre pulled up behind.
"I looked down and Charles was there. He was down the bank," Satre said. "He had whistled right when Pete passed, and Pete heard it through the helmet."
Temperatures had dipped into the 20s at midweek, but little snow fell, and Horton managed to stay relatively dry until Sunday night.
say, "He said, 'I was doing real well, and then it rained on me all night, so now I'm really cold,'" Satre said.
