Red Dog gives back

DON “RED DOG” GARDNER HANDS A CHECK TO BILL DEWITT, the athletic director at Lawrence High School, in the LHS rotunda Monday. From left are Beverly Gardner; Bryce Smith, an eighth-grader at South Middle School; Don Gardner; Bill DeWitt; Stephanie Magnuson, LHS teacher and volleyball coach; and Ken Baldwin, Red Dog volunteer and participant. The donation, in the amount of $350, was collected from participants in the Red Dog’s Dog Days community workout program for summer 2015. The program used the track and field at LHS, and the donation will go toward the school’s general athletic fund.
He added that no matter what else the two men were doing, they kept their doors open, “and we found a way to try to do what’s best for the American people.” Clinton, a Democrat and the 42nd president of the United States, was in Lawrence to accept the 2015 Dole Leadership prize, bestowed annually by KU’s Dole Institute of Politics. Dole, 92, the former Republican U.S. Senator from Kansas for whom the institute and prize are named, did not attend the event. Clinton called this the most “interdependent” age in human history, one in which forces positive and negative are colliding. He said bipartisanship is the key to ensure the future is bountiful, urging America and the world to focus on shared goals instead of differences. “The polarization of American politics is present not just in Washington but in American life,” Clinton told a capacity crowd at the 2,210-seat Lied Center auditorium on the KU campus. “Look at how many of our collective bigotries we’ve been able to overcome in America in the last 100 years,” he said. “We are less racist than we used to be. We are less sexist than we used to be. We are less religiously bigoted than we used to be. We are less homophobic than we used to be. We have one remaining bigotry: We don’t want to be around anyone who disagrees with us.” Clinton said something happened to Dole, lying in the hospital struggling to recover from wounds he sustained in World War II, that made it possible for him to identify with other people. “That is the essence of the test we all face today,” Clinton said. Dole ran unsuccessfully for president against Clinton in 1996.

Clinton, who came to town to accept the 2015 Dole Leadership Prize, spoke at length about bipartisanship. He emphasized the importance of working together for the greater good, and said a large group will always come up with better solutions than a few elite. Breanna Bell, a freshman from Lawrence, said being able to see a former president speak on campus was “really nice.” She liked how Clinton said it doesn’t matter if you’re a Democrat or a Republican, a man or a woman. “We’re all human; we all want to live in a world that’s safe. You know everybody’s doing the best for everybody,” she said. “I liked the comments he made about even though he and Bob (Dole) were running against each other, that didn’t matter.” Tymon Wall is a junior from Winfield majoring in political science and global and international studies. His parents, Kelly and Brad Wall, drove about three hours from Winfield to join him for the speech. “I teach history in Winfield, and I’ve told my kids for a long time that the only way that we’re really going to be able to solve anything is through compromise, and that’s exactly what (Clinton) was saying,” Brad said. Kelly, a speech pathologist, said she appreciated that Clinton said we live in an interdependent world, and what we have in common overrides the things that separate us. “That’s very encouraging, very hopeful; good
