HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday: This year you're achieving new levels of self-confidence and competence. Take care of others, too, and you'll make wise choices. Finish your considerations in May so you can take action by June. Launch a new inquiry in July. Full speed ahead through the summer and autumn. New information could be upsetting in December. Learn from it. In February take on a challenge just for the fun of it. More income could be your reward.
Aries; Today is a 4.
Sort, file and put your assets into rows. Do this in private. It's nobody's business but your own. This is good practice, in case you win the lottery. Even if you don't, you can become fabulously wealthy. And, why not? You'd do good things with the money.
Taurus: Today is a 10.
You have the world on a string. You are incredibly powerful; you can have almost whatever you want.

Libra: Today is a 4.
Scorpio: Today is a 9.
Your lesson for today — and the rest of this year — is about money. Can you make sure you have enough, always and forever? That's what you need to learn. If you're just a kid, so much the better. You'll be a multimillionaire by the time you retire.
Your partner has taken control. You generally don't like to hand over the reigns, but if you've chosen wisely, it'll be OK. If you're hooked up with a person you don't trust, make a choice. Learn to trust or boogie out of there.

Study, study, study. Don't worry about the money; that will come later. For now, you just need to learn the material and understand it. Go through it until you do. Ask questions; none are foolish. You're learning quickly. Keep at it.

Nebraska quarterback to run in track meet
COLLEGE FOOTBALL
LINCOLN, Neb. — Nebraska quarterback Eric Crouch has joined the track team to get in shape after spending the winter and spring recovering from right shoulder surgery.
Crouch hopes to make his debut Sunday in the 100-meter dash when Nebraska plays host to a quadrangular meet.
Crouch has not competed in track
since 1997, his senior year at Millard North High School in Omaha, Neb. That year, he finished second in the 100-meter dash ar.
fourth in the 200-meter at the state meet.
Crouch said he talked with Nebraska football coaches, who thought that running track was a good idea. Crouch wants to regain strength and bounce in his legs after missing winter conditioning.
Billy Maxwell, assistant track coach, said coaches were looking at Crouch as a possible addition to the 400-meter relay team.
NASCAR fines team for illegal fuel use
AUTO RACING
The Penske-Kranefuss team was hit yesterday with a major penalty by NASCAR, which said the team used illegal fuel during an April 16 race in Tailadega. Ala.
Driver Jeremy Mayfield was stripped of 151 points in the season standings. Michael Kranefuss, who operates the team, which is co-owned by Roger Penske, was fired $50,000, matching the second largest in NASCAR history. Crew Chief Peter Sospenzo was suspended until June 6.
"There isn't a whole lot you can say under the circumstances," Kranefuss said. "Mistakes were made and there were certainly some grave errors in judgment."
Mike Helton, senior vice president and chief operating officer of NASCAR, said today that fuel sam-
plings taken after the race contained a foreign substance.
All the Winston Cup cars used gasoline provided at the track by Unocal.
Mayfield won last Sunday's race in Fontana, Calif.

Chiefs hire new personnel director
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—Bill Kuharich, the general manager who brought Mike Ditka back to the NFL and then lost his job when they couldn't turn things around for the New Orleans Saints, is joining the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Chiefs announced yesterday that Kuharich would be their new director of pro personnel. They moved swiftly to replace John Schneider, who left last week to become the Seattle Seahawks personnel director.
Kuharich, 47, son of a former college and NFL coach, will be reunited with Carl Peterson, the Chiefs president and general manager he worked with in his first pro football job with the USFL's Philadelphia/Baltimore Stars.
"Bill worked very successfully with me during our tenure in the United States Football League." Peterson said. "He was also extremely instrumental in the tremendous turnaround and success of the New Orleans Saints franchise beginning upon his arrival there in 1986.
"Bill is an astute evaluator of talent and will definitely make a valuable contributor to the Chiefs' personnel department."
Kuharich spent 14 years with
the Saints, serving first as player personnel director, then becoming vice president of football operations after general manager Jim Finks died of lung cancer in 1994.
After two years in that job he was named general manager and executive vice president, and he later became president and chief operating officer in addition to general manager.
Ditka, the fiery and outspoken coach who won a Super Bowl with the Chicago Bears in 1986, spent four years as a television commentator after the Bears fired him in 1993.
When Kuharich brought him back to football as head coach of the Saints in 1997, Ditka pledged to take the team to the Super Bowl. But he was 6-10 in both of his first two seasons and then last year the team slid to 3-13, for a three-year record of 15-33.
In January Saints owner Tom Benson, saying he needed to clear the slate, fired Ditka, his entire coaching staff, and Kuharich, who had been given a new five-year contract just last summer.
"Unfortunately in this business if you don't win enough games, there are days like this," Kuharich said.
Earlier Kuarich and Finks turned around a Saints franchise
that hadn't made the playoffs in 19 years. In their second season together, their 1987 team was 12-3 and made the playoffs that year and four times after that.
Kuharich's father, the late Joe Kuharich, was head coach of the Chicago Cardinals, Washington Redskins and Philadelphia Eagles, serving the Eagles as general manager as well. On the college level, he coached at San Francisco and Notre Dame. And when Peterson was player personnel director of the Eagles, the elder Kuharich was a scout for the team.
The younger Kuhrich earned a history degree from Middlebury College and started coaching as a graduate assistant at Brown in 1976, coaching the offensive backs for Hawaii the following year. After working for the U.S. Defense Department, he was an assistant coach at St. Lawrence and Columbia before going to the USFL.
Kuharich has worked with Terry Bradway, the Chiefs player personnel director, as well as Peterson, and said he knew many other people in the front office and on the coaching staff.
Both teams hold their training camps in Wisconsin and have worked out against each other during the summers.
