Kansas' 127th anniversary of statehood will be observed today as part of the yearlong celebration of President Dwight B. Eisenhower's 100th birthday.
"Today we are offering a five-star tribute to our state's most famous symbol," Hayden said. "Even though Eisenhower became a tower of world leadership, he never forgot that — the heartland of America."

Time capsule to hail Eisenhower
Eisenhower was born Oct. 14, 1890, in Denison, Texas, and two years later, he and his family moved to Abilene, Kan. He graduated from Abilene High School in 1909, and in 1911 he joined the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y.

Eisenhower rose to military prominence as commander in chief of Allied Forces in North Africa during World War II. He served as president from 1953 to 1961 and died March 28, 1969. He was buried in Meditation on the grounds of the Eisenhower Center in Abilene.
Kassebaum said that when Eisenhower was running for president in 1962, people knew him as "the man from Abilene."
Slattery said that although he and Eisenhower belonged to different political parties, the former president was one of his heroes.
"Unlike today, Eisenhower didn't ask the next generation to pay the bills," he said.
"When he became president, he was still a great deal of Abilene and Kansas," she said.
The inauguration included a 21-gun salute and the placement of a time
'Even though Eisenhower became a tower of world leadership, he never forgot his origins — the heartland of America.'

capsule with Eisenhower memorabilia.
The capsule was placed beneath Eisenhower's statue at the Capitol's rotunda. It will not be sealed until Eisenhower's birthday, Oct.14, when the centennial celebration officially ends.
"I'm fascinated with the idea of the time capsule. I wonder what we would have discovered if another one had been placed 100 years ago," Atwater said.
The capsule will remain closed until Eisenhower's 200th birthday in 2000.
The items placed in the capsule included a copy of the bill that authorized the formation of the Kansas Eisenhower Centennial Commission, letters from members of the commission and Eisenhower's grandchildren, and a video about the president's life.
After the capsule's placement, John Bowser of United Telecommunications introduced a painted portrait of Elsenhower that will appear on the cover of next year's telephone directories in the areas served by that company.
The centennial activities will focus on the history, culture and political thought of the period covered by Eisenhower's life and will be financed by private donations and matching state general funds.
Major statewide programs honoring Eisenhower include yearlong museum exhibitions, the "Eisenhower Centennial Five-Star Tour" in June, the dedication of the 1900 Kansas State Fair in Hutchinson and the October "Eisenhower and Kansas" conference and gala banquet in Topeka.
KU will celebrate life of Eisenhower
The University of Kansas will join the national observance of Dwight D. Eisenhower's 100th birthday Oct.14 with two special programs.
By a Kansan reporter
The Division of Continuing Education prepared a series of 12 features, titled the "Eisenhower Era," that will be distributed today to 75 Kansas newspapers and 30 radio stations.
The series was partially financed by grants from the divi-
sion of the University of Academic Affairs, the Hall Family Fund and the department of history.
Francis H. Heller, professor emeritus of law and adviser to the "Eisenhower Era," said the former president, once rated 10th- or 11th-worth in the nation's history,
was gaining new respect as a decisive and active leader.
From Oct. 4 to 6, KU's Eisenhower Centennial Committee, directed by Chester J. Pach Jr., will offer "Ike's America," a conference about the only president from Kansas and life during the '50s in the United States. More than 300 scholars are expected to attend.
Pach, visiting assistant professor of history, said critics denounced Eisenhower as a golf-playing president who kept banker's hours and left government to his cabinet and aides.
Pach said Eisenhower was praised for his ability to know when to use restraint, when to take action and for his cleverness in keeping the public's trust.
Local man named Kansan of the year
By Chris Siron Kansan staff writer
Lawrence businessman and former KU student Bob Billings, 52, was named Kansas of the Year on Friday by the Native Sons and Daughters of Kansas.
Kansas Gov. Mike Hayden presented the annual award to Billings, citing Billings' development of West Lawrence and his civic work.
The Native Sons and Daughters of Kansas is an organization dedicated to recognizing Kansas' national sig- nature and its citizens' achievements.
Billings attended the University in 1966-59. He lettered playing varsity basketball and was student body president.
Pat Beaty, present president of Billings' fraternity, Alpha Tau Omega, said Billings majored in history, political science and economics and earned "close to a 4.0 grade point average" while at KU.
In 1957, KU men's basketball team was ranked second in the nation
behind North Carolina.
Billings received the Fred Ellsworth Medalion from the University in 1984 and a KU Distinguished Service Citation in 1988.
Billings also was the developer of Alvamar Inc., a 3,000-acre real estate project in west Lawrence that began during the 1950s. It started as the first public green-grass golf course in Lawrence and expanded into a community as people moved into houses around the course. The development is named for Billings' parents, Alva and Margaret.
Billings said yesterday that his plans included expansion of the Alvamar project. He said only one-third of the available land had been developed, and he expected further construction in the near future.
Billings said he also was working with KU to develop entrepreneurial activities for faculty and students.
Billings said he was trying to be a "catalyst to make good things happen in Lawrence."
