A reception for members and students is scheduled for Friday from 2 to 4 p.m. in the Office of Multicultural Affairs,145 Strong Hall.
Association members will attend the 77th annual Kansas Relays Friday and Saturday, and the events will conclude Saturday with a dance at Abe & Jake's Landing, 8 E Sixth St.
100TH ANNIVERSARY
Jackson said this week's events would benefit students and association members.
"It's also an opportunity for alums to get together, fellowship and plan for the fall," he said.

feet to 80,000 square feet. That space would be too small to house a Wal-Mart.
David Dunfield, commissioner defined Lawrence as a community center rather than a regional center. A WalMart at 6th and Wakarusa streets would be inappropriate for a community whose retail is focused in the downtown area.
Bill Newsome, owner of 6Wak Land Investments, has sued the city six times since May of 2003 for failing to approve the store. The six lawsuits amount to $138,000. Rezoning should be changing the location of a building, Newsome said
"This action does not meet the definition of planning," Newsome said. "It's wrong for citizens of Lawrence who have the expectation that the planning will serve the best purpose."
The future of the building at Ninth and Vermont streets that once housed the Carnegie Library is undetermined.
The Langston in Hughes Center for Community Enrichment is a candidate for the

Commissioners will not grant approval to the center until it presents a more detailed business plan.
"There's a long way to go before we can say what the future of Carnegie Library will be," said David Schauner, commissioner.
The library was built in 1904, but has been vacant since 2002, when the Lawrence Arts Center moved to 940 New Hampshire St.
