The rule aims to verify citizenship before voter registration, with a June 15 start proposed but delayed by lawmakers.

Monarchs Negro League Records Show Fair Pay and Tight Books
Kansas City scholars review a KU library collection of Monarchs receipts and game revenues from 1949 to 1950. The records detail pay, including 125 dollars per month for a player, and show net gate receipts of 1721 dollars for a game against the Indianapolis Clowns divided among teams, association, and publicity. The material includes promotional items and photos, and research by Larry Lester supports claims of comparable salaries to white players and solid financial management contrary to rival press views.
