HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (May 4). You're coming into your own this year. You're increasingly sure of yourself and it shows. Stand up to authority figures in May and they'll treat you with greater respect. Spend money on yourself in June and tune up your image. Learn what you need to do next and how to do it in July. Things should go your way through the summer and fall. Around mid-December you could have a setback, but you're strong and smart enough to handle it. Accept new responsibilities around February.
Aries: Today is a 5
By now you should know how to be thrifty. Don't take risks. Tell people who want your money that you're still thinking about it. Read the fine print and do the homework. Don't be ashamed to make a deal that works for you.
Taurus: Today is a 10
Gemini: Today is a 4
Move quickly. That's not easy for you, but it's time. Take action on something you've thought about for a long time. You have an incredible advantage, but conditions are changing. Grab this chance and make a difference.
You'll come out of hiding by tomorrow. You're almost finished. You're about to have a breakthrough and then you'll want to take action. Don't rush things.
Cancer: Today is a 9
Groups and organizations are important in your life now. You're coming out of your shyness and sometimes that's difficult. You may have to deal with some things you've been avoiding. Don't worry because you're strong enough. Get tough!
Leo: Today is a 5
A lid has been kept on your enthusiasm. You've been playing to a critical audience. That's about to change. By tomorrow you'll be the star of the show. And you'll be better for the lesson recently learned.
You've had some lucky breaks the past few days.
Don't get over confident though. Expect a quiz tomorrow. You may be asked to prove you know what you're talking about. Go over your notes one more time.
Scorpio: Today is an 8
Libra: Today is a 6
Capricorn: Today is a 10
If you can't help everyone, you could hire somebody to help. Think about it tonight and call a few people tomorrow. An argumentative person could be perfect. Don't take no for an answer.
You may have recently discovered that you enjoy budgeting. Putting those numbers into rows is fun. A task that was once drudgery could become a new game. If this is happening, you're learning how to win. Keep at it!
Sagittarius: Today is a 5
You and your partner need to get together and talk about money. How much do you have and how are you going to spend it? This could be a delicate subject, but don't put it off. Concede a point or two to get the agreement so you can go shopping.
Aquarius: Today is a 6
You're still lucky, but don't procrastinate. Make a decision on what you've been contemplating over the past few days. You'll have to get back to work tomorrow so don't wait any longer. Don't spend too much either.
A lot of activity is going on at home. If you have recently moved, you should be settled by now. You'll have more time for romance and games tomorrow and the next day. Do whatever needs to be done to get things right now.
Pisces: Today is a 10
Focus on the subject you're learning — this is the way to make your dreams come true. Your friends may want you to come out and play, but turn them down. Right now the most important thing for you to do is practice, practice, practice!

Guest choreographers work with KU dancers in diverse performances
By Cassie Holman Special to the Kansan
Naomi Carson, St. Louis junior, is performing in Brooks' dance Open. She worked with Brooks for about eight days, along with the other dancers.
"He really challenged us and got us to work hard," Carson said. "He inspired me to have a stronger work ethic and more discipline."
Tonight's University Dance Company performance should appeal to many different tastes and preferences, with styles ranging from classical ballet to traditional modern to contemporary jazz.
The performance, 8 p.m. at the Lied Center, will feature dances by two guest choreographers — Brian Brooks from Donald Byrd/The Group and Krystyna Jurkowski-Hilding, a former dancer with the Joffrey Ballet.
Brooks trained at the Dance Theatre of Harlem and the Alvin Ailey American Dance Center before performing with the Philadelphia Dance Company, Joseph Holmes and other companies in Chicago. He joined Donald Byrd in 1986.
Carson said Open was about letting go of false fronts and the masks we wear and opening ourselves up to world.
Jurkowski-Hilding choreographed a ballet titled Potpourri, which uses music
Jurkowski-Hilding has been working with the dancers since mid-February.
from the Waldmeister
Overture by Johann Strauss.
Joan Stone, director of the dance department, also choreographed a dance for the program, titled The Yellow Wallpaper, in which Rebekah Moses, Great Bend junior, will be performing.
Laura Martin, Wichita junior and president of the company, will be performing in *potourri*. Martin described it as a classical ballet piece with several individual variations.
Moses said the dance is about the tension women experienced at the turn of the century. She said it was a very interesting portrayal of the struggle between madness and sanity one woman experienced while trying to break free of the mold society had put her in.
"She coached us in pointe technique, the different ways of maneuvering steps on pointe and making it easier for us." Martin said.
This semester's program is unpredictable, Carson said.
"There is a lot of variety. If you don't like one piece, you may like another." she said.
The program also runs 8 p.m. tomorrow night at the Lied Center. Tickets, $5 for students and $7 for the public, are on sale at the Lied Center, Murphy Hall and SUA box offices.
Kansas museum hopes salt will attract visitors
HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Kansas already boasts such oddities as the world's largest ball of twine and the Greyhound Hall of Fame. Add to that list a museum devoted to salt.
Jay Smith, executive director of the Reno County Museum, said Tuesday the project will take tourists deep below ground into salt reserves discovered in 1887.
Fundraising efforts already have begun, and the museum is accepting contributions with the hope of opening in September 2004.
Courtesy could make traffic stops enjoyable
Police have no cash to offer for this month-long safety stakeout but say they hope motorists will be encouraged to drive safely.
"Everyone likes a little pat on the back," said traffic Sgt. Dennis Tarsook.
"We're not giving them anything, just saying we caught them being courteous, and we appreciate it."
Oddities
For the past five years, the Beverly Safety Council has financed a similar one-day effort, awarding $5 to drivers who obey the rules of the road.
Drivers caught breaking the law will be
BEVERLY, Mass. — Sometimes getting pulled over by the cops is a good thing.
Through the next month, drivers who stop for pedestrians, let other cars pass and come to a complete halt at stop signs will be pulled over by Beverly police — and thanked for their efforts.
given the same words of encouragement — after being handed a $100 fine.
Too much tea lands man in court for DUI
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. — Kava drinkers, beware. You may need a designated driver.
Tauful Plutau learned that the hard way after hitting the road following a meeting with friends in which he drank eight to 10 cups of kava tea.
Plutau pleaded not guilty Tuesday in San Matee County Municipal Court in what is thought to be the state's first DUI prosecution for driving under the influence of kava.
The drink, used ceremoniously in Plutaut's native Tonga, is made from a pepper plant called kava-kava. It is known for its anti-anxiety effects.
"He was drinking tea, but he was not guilty for having reduced capacity to drive," said Plutau's lawyer, Scott Ennis "It's like drinking a double capuccino." Prosecutor Rebacle Holt said the state's drunk driving law covers driving under the influence of any substance that impairs muscles, the central nervous system or the brain so that a person cannot operate a vehicle safely.
WILTON, N.D. — The Rev. Paul Schauer says he's not afraid to trv some
Reverend shaves head to reward attendance
thing different to bring people to church
— even if it means losing a little hair.
Schauer told Sunne Lutheran Church members that if attendance averaged 180 people through the five Sundays in April, he would get a haircut after the final service.
Last Sunday's attendance: 189. Pastor Schauer's hair: Buzzed.
"I'm one of those guys who will try weird things to increase worship attendance," Schauer said Monday.
Schauer said he settled on an average of 180 people because it's about half of the church membership. The rural church usually draws about 110 people each Sunday.
On this day, all 189 people stayed in their seats to see the clippers in action.
Prisons make census easier for small town
SUSANVILLE, Calif. — While some California cities are struggling to get accurate census counts, Susanville city administrator J. Newell Howell says his town doesn't have much of a problem.
"We joke that we have the largest gated community in the state," said Howell.
That's because Susanville is home to two prisons.
Small communities like Susanville and lone already have a big share of their populations accounted for because the census counts inmates as residents of the town where they are incarcerated.
In California, each prisoner nets the
city about $70 annually in state tax allocations that are paid on a per-resident basis.
That means lone — where 4,000 of the town's 7,200 residents are housed in the Mule Creek State Prison and the Preston Youth Authority — will get about $300,000 toward a city budget of just $1.7 million.
"Well, if there weren't some advantage to having a prison, what community would want one?" Linda Gage, chief demographer for the California Department of Finance, said last week.
BLOOMFELD, Ind. — It's a dirty job,
but it has its rewards.
Incentive program to promote trash pickup
In an effort to encourage people to pick up roadside trash, the Greene County Solid Waste Management District has hidden more than 200 special prize capsules along county roads.
Each bottle — green, with an orange lid — contains a number that corresponds to a prize. Greene County businesses donated prizes ranging from a $300 electric grill and $200 worth of bowling passes.
One Greene County attorney is even offering to prepare a couple's will as one of the prizes.
According to Debbie Haseman, education coordinator for the solid waste district, there are "thousands of dollars in cash and prizes scattered out there." She said the prize concept seemed like a good way to encourage roadside trash pickup.
