 |
 |
Visitors to the Dole Institute can learn how presidential candidates prepare for the high stakes game of televised debates. This exhibit features never-before-seen photographs of Senator Dole and his advisors preparing to debate against President Clinton.
Also on display is the mock podium that Senator Dole used to practice for the debate. Made out of foam core board, it was built to exactly the same dimensions as the podium used in the official debate.
This exhibit can be seen as part of a “White Glove Tour.”
Bentley Gallery
Seventeen black and white photographs of Senator Dole taken by photographer, P.F. Bentley are currently on display in the Bentley gallery at the Dole Institute. These images were taken during the 1996 Presidential campaign and can be seen during the monthly “White Glove Tour” or by contacting Judy Sweets at asweets@ku.edu.
