HOROSCOPES
Aries (March 21-April 19).
Love and money clash on Monday and Tuesday. Avoid getting into an argument about money with your sweetheart You'll give in on Wednesday and Thursday, so the problem will be solved. Take care of all the household chores on Friday and Saturday so you can spend Sunday creating a wonderful reality from the annals your romantic fantasies.
Taurus (April 20-May 20).
Just hold on Monday and Tuesday, your stubborn tendencies will have people at your throat. You'll run into another Taurus, but a compromise is possible. It may take you most of Wednesday and Thursday to get a clue, however. Alas! You're still stubborn on Friday and Saturday. Nothing will get by you, you're so stubborn. Have your three "friends" over to your house on Sunday.
You're more intelligent than usual this week. On Monday and Tuesday you may feel pressed by the extra brain waves, however. Don't sweat the small stuff; breathing, heartbeats, digestion; have faith in yourself. You'll dazzle on Wednesday and Thursday. Friday you'll chip off the glitter. Saturday you'll sand off the glue. Sunday anoint thyself with lotion.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Ponder the cycle of weakness on Monday and Tuesday. Don't get peer pressure into debauchery Wednesday evening. A big chest of potential may appear Thursday. Don't open it until Friday and Saturday, lest you eat unripened fruit. That's when you can control yourself.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22).
An older person will shun you Monday or Tuesday. Your friends will fail you Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. That's much better! Adversity produces character, and character yields perseverance, and perseverance leads thee home.
Virgo (Aua. 23-Sept. 22).
Shrug off the worry Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday you will divine its futility. Thursday, be nice with your newest insight. Don't teach when instruction is not sought. Friday and Saturday lead by example. Sunday be at peace, exhibit patience and love. Repeat week as necessary.
Saaittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Avoid gambling Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday and Thursday and Friday and Saturday and Sunday! Hit the road if you must spend that money. Open eyes on the road will show you the absolute ludicrousness of the gambler mentality.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
On Monday and Tuesday a partner will insist you work late and, if necessary, you should roll over. Be strong, bite your lip and suck it up Wednesday. Thursday you'll hit pay dirt. The week's trials end like that Wheel of Fortune show where the person was losing the whole time and then all of a sudden — the person won.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb 18).
Although you'd like to take the whole week off, you may have way too much work to do on Monday and Tuesday. Same goes for Wednesday. And Thursday. Friday is no different. Saturday and Sunday you may as well rest up, because Monday will start the cycle again.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20).
All week, arguments are common, and nobody wants to give an inch. Neither do you, you hypocrite. But at least you find this all too funny to bother you much. Watch it thought! People are fragile and your smirks and serenades can crack their souls. Be conscientious.
Romance looks good on Monday and Tuesday, but that's a fleeting illusion. Be nice even if you're loved one gets under your skin. You're desperate, after all. Wednesday and Thursday are self-loathing, envy and hatred. So don't schedule dates for then. Friday and Saturday you may drink yourself into oblivion attempting to forget all this but Sunday you'll realize it didn't work.
Monday and Tuesday, learn as fast as you can.
Wednesday and Thursday, forget it all. Friday and Saturday, ponder your days. Sunday, see your future in a distant denial.

Charlie Brown brings back childhood
University Theatre reenacts comic strip on summer stage
the cast of Charlie Brown from left: Laura Sternberg or Lucy VanPelt; Lakin Griffin as Schroeder; Alex Wolfson as Charlie brown; Xavier Rice as Snoopy; Matthew G. Simon as Linus; and Geneva Ewet as Peppermint Patty.
By Amy Cummins writer@kansan.com Special to the Kansan
You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown, University Theatre's summer musical production, is about things many remember from childhood: playing ball, flying kites, anticipating supper time and dreaming about the little red-haired girl.
The show's actors and musicians gave an enchanting performance Friday night in the Crafton-Preyer Theatre. Every production number encaptured the audience.
The last weekend of Charlie Brown will be Thursday and Sunday.
The performance was directed by Don M. Schawang, a doctoral candidate in theater and film, whose most recent directing credit was January's Mozart opera for the department of music and dance.
Jack Roller, the play's musical director, will receive his doctoral degree in conducting in August, then direct instrumental activities at Meredith College in Raleigh, N.C.
The musical premiered in 1967 and is faithful to the creative vision of Peanuts creator Charles Schulz. Writer Clark Gesner's script, music and lyrics are based upon specific Peanuts strips from the 1960s.
The stage and costume designs of Christian Boy, Lawrence graduate student, present a technicolor
dream. The hyper-real hues of green, blue, orange and red convey the trippy intensity with which childhood senses are recollected. Both the costume designs and the stage setting recreate Schulz's comic strip.
Charlie Brown is played convincingly by Alex Wolfson, Omaha, Neb., sophomore. Schroeder, the Beethoven aficionado, is played by the talented Lakin Griffin, Lawrence sophomore. Xavier Rice, Overland Park junior, perfectly depicts Snoopy, the canine World War I Flying Ace.
Lucy Pantel — played by Laura
Sternberg, Manhattan, junior
Review
steals the show with her personality and songs, such as "The Doctor Is In" and "Little Known Facts." in "Schroeder," Lucy tries to entice the musical prodigy by lying aliquently across his baby grand piano.
highly because his body grade planer Linus VanPelt is played by Matthew G. Simon, Overland Park sophomore. Simon knows how to achieve great comic effects. In "My Blanket and Me." Simon flourishes Linus's famous blue security blanket as a versatile costume and friend.
Geneva Ewert, Lawrence senior,
who has been in numerous operas
produced by the music and dance
department. Ewert colored her
blonde hair red for the part of
Patty.
Ewert helps make "The Book Report" my favorite production number of the evening. The song describes things familiar to writers about literature: procrastination, writer's block, word-counting, critical theory and even comparisons to Robin Hood.
