BRIGANTINE, N.J. — President Barack Obama from sandy the devastation from Sandy on Wednesday, flying high over flooded neighborhoods, sand-streets streets and a burning fire that charred homes along the New Jersey coastline.
With Election Day less than a week away, Obama's visit to view the aftermath of the rare autumn storm was layered with political implications. The president's tour guide was New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, a Republican and top supporter of GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney who joined Obama on a Marine One helicopter ride over the region.
"This is not a time for politics"; Carney said. "The president appreciates the efforts of governors, state and local officials across the various states that were affected by the storm, regardless of political party."
During the helicopter tour, Obama and Christie saw a carnival and a large pier that had been damaged, along with flattened houses and fragments of wood scattered throughout neighborhoods.
White House spokesman Jay Carney said there were no political motivations behind Obama's decision to join his supporter's rival Wednesday.
Obama plans to return to the campaign trail today, with stops planned in Green Bay, Wis., Las Vegas and Boulder. Colo. He planned to be on the road campaigning every day through the Nov. 6 election.

LECTURE
Biographer visits campus
Natalie Dykstra, Associate Professor at Hope College, unravels the mystery of Clover Adams' suicide. Clover Adams was the wife of Henry Adams, whose great-grandfather and grandfather were both presidents of the United States. Clover Adams was a famous socialite but also became famous for her photography.
"What drew me to her story was that she was well known in her time, but her story was never told." Dykstra said. "Then I got very interested in her photography, how compelling and emotional it was."
Dykstra said when writing her book, "Clover Adams: A Glided and Heartbreaking Life," that the biggest shock during her research was that she thought Clover Adams would be a lot more depressed because she committed suicide. Dykstra first learned of Clover Adams when she was in graduate school at Kansas. She was
reading the Eleanor Roosevelt biography, and she said there was a part in the book where Eleanor would visit the memorial of Clover Adams. That is where Dykstra first learned and became interested in Adams.
"When I was in graduate school I always dreamed of writing a book," Dykstra said. "But the actual experience of writing the book was better than I ever could have imagined because I got to work with a great editor."
Dykstra will be on campus at 7:30 p.m. today in the Hall Center Conference Hall. Her lecture will go through the life of Clover Adams as well as covering the behind-the-scenes of writing the book. She will also read an excerpt from her book, and then there will be a reception and book sign after the lecture. Her book has received high praise from the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.

McCollum catches fire in early morning hours
A heat motor sized and caught fire in McCollum residence hall at 3 a.m. today, said Captain Schuyler Bailey, KU Office of Public Safety spokesperson.
Residents evacuated the building after smoke from the fire set the alarms off and were told to wait in the lobbies of Elsworth and Hashinger Halls. They returned to their rooms approximately 45 minutes later, said Diana Robertson, director of Student Housing.
The Office of Public Safety and Law-
rence-Douglas County Fire and Medical
Department arrived at McCollum shortly after fire alarms sounded. Fire investigators determined that the fire started in a stairwell on the sixth floor. Robertson said the fire caused damage to the air handling unit. No one was hurt.
"I would like to credit Lawrence and Douglas County Fire Medical and KU Public Safety staff for being on site and handling the situation very quickly and efficiently." Robertson said. "And to the students for evacuating quickly and efficiently."
The estimated cost of damage was not released.
