Landon events on tap
By a Kansan reporter
The University of Kansas is planning several activities to celebrate the 100th birthday on Wednesday of former AIF Landon.
A public ceremony and reception will take place at 9 a.m. today in the Kansas Union lobby to an exhibit titled "Alfred M. Landon: Governor; Presidential Candidate; Elder Statesman." The exhibit consists of photos and memorabilia that trace Landon's life from his childhood through his KU years, political career and retirement.
Several of the exhibit items concern Landon's 1938 presidential campaign against President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Landon, a 1908 KU graduate from the School of Law, ran on the Republican ticket.

Del Brinkman, vice chancellor for
academic affairs, and Donald R. McCoy, University distinguished professor of history, will speak at the reception. The exhibit will be open until late September.
Landon and members of the Landon family, including Landon's daughter, Sen. Nancy Kassebaum, R-Kan., will be honored as this year's KU Parents Day family Sept. 19.
The family members will be recognized during pre-game ceremonies at the Parents Day Football game between the Jayhawks and Kent State University in Memorial Stadium.
Kansas State University also will honor Landon on his birthday with its annual Landon Lecture Series. Kasebaum will speak at 10:30 a.m. tomorrow at McCain Auditorium in Manhattan.

TOPEKA — The KU Marching Band saw to it that President Ronald Reagan was properly hailed on his arrival at Alf Aldon's home sunday with "Hail to the Chief," but band members said that they wished they could have seen the president themselves.
Reagan and the band were only about 100 feet apart, but even band members in the front ranks had a hard time seeing through the columns on Landon's porch, members of the Secret Service, White House communications staff, the White House press corps and the rows of guests that stood between them and the president.
"All I could see was a bush and a Secret Service man," said Christine Long. Overland Park freshman.
Many band members were upset that they hadn't gotten a better view.
"I think all we expected we'd be able to see, and there's a lot of disappointed people," said Mike Wetter, Topeka senior and head drum
Regardless of the poor view, the band's performance went off well, said James Barnes, assistant to the director of bands.
During the speech, Barnes was perched on a ladder at the front of the band, patched in to the White House
communications officials by headphones.
barnes said the White House, which required split-second timing and last-minute changes such as asking the band to play "Home on the Range" twice, was no more difficult to work with than the television crews at some basketball games.
Although the president did wave in the band's direction during "Hail to the Chief," he had only the briefest of comments about the band, said U.S. Sen. Nancy Kassebaum, R-Kan. Kassebaum is Landon's daughter.
"I told him that it was the University of Kansas band that was playing and that they were going to be playing the fight song as he left, and he just said 'good,'" Kassebaum said.
The band arrived at the Landon residence about 45 minutes ahead of the president. Their instruments, loaded on a truck after Friday's practice, arrived two hours ahead of them for a security inspection.
Before band members got their instruments Sunday, each case was sniffed by Secret Service guard dogs, said Rinnert. Longmont, a junior.
Band members had to pass through an airport-style metal detector before entering the grounds of Landon's home.
Weather dampens weekend

Doug Meserve sat at his desk yesterday afternoon and pointed to a pile of video movies.
"That's what I did all weekend," said Meserve, Apple Valley, Calif., senior. "I had planned to go out to the lake, but I ended up buying some Michelon, eating Chee-tos and renting these movies."
Meresive, like many students who spent the three-day Labor Day weekend in Lawrence, found that periodic rain showers and drizzly weather throughout the weekend made many outdoor activities nearly impossible.
Local libraries and movie theaters replaced area lakes and parks as Labor Day retreats for many students.

Steve Schurr, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Topeka, said the weekend showers could be part of a moist air mass from Tropical Storm Lydia, which formed last week in the southern

"The moist air parked here for a couple of days, causing scattered showers and thunderstorms," Schurr said. Rainfall amounts in the area were minimal.
Weekend temperatures, however, were close to normal, Schurr said. High temperatures all three days were in the 80s.
students who had to spend the weekend on campus, instead of going home, seemed upset about the weekend drizzle.
"I just sat inside and was bored," said Kevin Tilly, St. Louis sophomore.
Judd McKeen, Clay Center sophomore, said he had planned to play golf or miniature golf but called off his plans when it started to rain.
John Dollisc, a student meteorologist with the KU Weather Service, said skies should turn sunny by this afternoon. The high should be 85.
