State ballot singed by a write-in furor
In Kansas City Kansas law bans write-ins for governor but a court hearing seeks to decide if ballots can be changed before the November 6 election. The ACLU argues the ban violates free speech and equal protection while the state cites costs and logistics, noting governor and lieutenant governor are a team and many absentee ballots already issued.

California doctor to endow College of the Ozarks with $10 million
A 79-year-old California physician, who learned of the College of the Ozarks from The Wall Street Journal, will donate $10 million from his estate after death to endow the school. The gift funds a School of Natural Sciences, professorships, scholarships, and a new classroom office building, with a five year campaign to raise $35 million to keep tuition free. The donor’s identity remains private. Jerry C. Davis, the college president, called the move unusual and praised the work ethic and opportunity focus at the Ozarks campus.
