More than 12,000 people endured long lines and building temperatures close to 90 degrees May 21 to hear former President Bill Clinton speak in Allen Fieldhouse. Clinton gave the inaugural lecture for the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics. The event was originally scheduled at the Lied Center but was moved to the fieldhouse because of high ticket demands.
Clinton provides bipartisan message

Thousands of people. crowded Allen Fieldhouse on May 21 to hear former President Bill Clinton deliver the inaugural speech in the Dole Lecture Series.

Dole said he and Clinton were a "political odd couple." Dole said he invited Clinton to deliver the inaugural Dole lecture because of the mission of the Robert I. Dole Institute of Politics.
Clinton was introduced by former U.S. Sen. Bob Dole (R-Kan.), his 1996 presidential election opponent. Clinton said they have since shed any animosity to deliver a message of bipartisanship.
The two politicians performed more like stand-up comedians. Dole, a frequent late night talk show guest since the 1996 race, joked about the election. Clinton said he was tired of being Dole's straight man and tried some comedy of his own before beginning his lecture.
"The institute's mission is to encourage a bipartisan search for solutions to America's problems," Dole said.
Clinton's lecture focused on partisanship and how it interfered with progress and current events in the United States. He said people need to find a way to be more offensive and defensive in dealing with terror and weapons of mass destruction.
Making deals and developing more partnerships is important, Clinton said.
"Compromise is honorable,not dishonorable," he said.
He said the nation needed to work with others, leading into his third point of more institutional cooperation.
He said people shouldn't join every treaty,but give them consideration.
Clinton answered three questions submitted by KU students following his 45-minute speech.

Former President Bill Clinton and Bob Dole, former U.S. Sen. (R-Kan.), stand near the podium at the inaugural lecture in the Dole Lecture Series. A prominent figure will be brought to the University each year to speak and commemorate Dole's wounding in Italy during World War II.

background as Clinton shook hands and took photos with audience members.
The St. Joseph, Mo., senior had her picture taken with Clinton. McMurray worked at the White House with the Bush administration last summer, and even though she said some of her friends wondered why she was at the event, she said Clinton delivered a great speech.
Some KU faculty were equally as impressed. Jeff Moran, associate professor of history, said it was the best political event he'd ever seen in Kansas.
"It was a good message for America," McMurray said.
"I'm almost speechless," Moran said. He's a reminder of a time when we had prosperity, wealth and bipartisanship which have all been ferreted away in the last four years."
