HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday:
You've worked hard before, and you will again. But this year, work smart. Start in April by figuring out where your time will earn the most. Household projects are expensive in May, but with budgeting, you'll get by. Do what you know you should in July, and true love could be your reward. Make service your motto in September, and money will be your reward then. Don't rely on a partner in October or a loan in November. Travel is too expensive in December if you have to leave work to go. The hard part is done by February, so celebrate then.
Aries: Today is an 8.
You should concentrate on doing things for other people. Do it for wages, not just to be a nice guy. That's important, of course, partially because you could make a lot of money. If you have wares for sale, get them out there. You could make a killing
Taurus: Today is a 7.
Set up some time for playing with kids, and you'll really enjoy this weekend, in love and with travel. Don't take off on your expedition quite yet, however. You can avoid a way-to-expensive proposition by stalling a little longer.
This is a good weekend to clean house. This seemingly innocent chore could lead to a breakdown, however. You and your partner may have to agree to disagree. This is not life-threatening, so don't despair. You may be able to get everything you want, after all.
Cancer: Today is a 6.
You could be good at studying right now. You can advance quickly in your career if you take on a challenge Don't worry; you'll learn quickly. Don't be dissuaded if you gooof up a little. That's a natural part of the process.
Leo: Today is an 8.
You probably are thinking about money now. You also may be thinking about taking a trip. If it's a business trip, that's good. You can start planning now, but don't take off quite yet. Tomorrow's much better. Another little problem needs to be solved first.
Virao: Today is a 5.
This could be a good day for you to manage other people's money. You might do that for a living, actually. It's a natural Virgo talent. Don't just count the money; also look for ways to help it grow. Don't take action until tomorrow, though. Just do the research.
Libra: Today is a 7.
Scorpio: Today is a 5.
You love being talked into doing things. You love being around passionate, wildly exuberant people. But, you're not in the mood to get your hair all messed up now. Actually, it's a better idea to run wild and free tomorrow and/or Sunday, anyway.
Saaittarius: Today is an 8.
Is it time for you to take on another big project? Well, do you have a team of folks who want to help you? If not, don't go there. You've already got a regular job, most likely. It wouldn't hurt to bring in a little extra cash, but only but a sure thing.
You and your friends are getting along well, and so are you and your sweetheart. A change could be required at work, however. If your boss is giving you headaches, maybe it's time to look around. Don't quit until you have a better job.
Capricorn: Today is a 7.
You'll be able to see the big picture today. Try new things and stretch your legs. If you're traveling, however, don't go far. Postponing a long voyage until tomorrow would be wise. You'll encounter fewer complications later
Aquarius: Today is a 7.
Other people's money could make your future more secure. Don't bet too heavily on an insider's tip, however. Study ways to stretch your finances, but don't take a risk. It's better to save than to gamble on a risk proposition now.
Pisces: Today is a 6.
You may encounter a small confrontation. You're learning, but you don't know it all quite yet. Instead of taking on a new topic, review the material you already should know. The better you have it memorized, the more poweful you'll become.
Women's golf signs two California players
WOMEN'S GOLF
The Kansas women's golf announced the signing of two high school golfers yesterday. Jennifer Bawanan, a senior at Johansen High School in Modesto, Calif., and Crystal Thayer, a senior at San Ramon Valley High School in Danville, Calif., are two golfers that coach Nicole Hollingsworth thinks
will be outstanding college golfers. Bawanan is a four-time varsity letter winner and went undefeated this year with 18 medalist honors. "She has a lot of talent with great fundamentals." Hollingsworth said. "Her experience at the local, state and national level will help to make her a great collegiate player."
Thayer also is a four-year varsity letter winner. She played on the boy's team for four years and won four tournaments. She also qualified for the 1999 U.S. Golf Association Junior Championships and America's Cup Team.
"Crystal has the junior golf experience to be an outstanding golfer at this level," Hollingworth said. "She has played on the boy's team for four years, and that will be a huge advantage for her."

Neither player would confirm the story in yesterday's Los Angeles Daily News.
Rush, who is from Kansas City, Mo., was asked if he had any news. "Not yet, but I'll have some next week." he said.

Wiggins gets probation in sexual assault case
"They're saying I'd be picked from 10 to 20 (in the first round) if I go," he said.
COLLEGE FOOTBALL
LINCOLN, Neb. — Shevin Wiggins, part of one of the most memorable plays in Nebraska football history, was sentenced to 18 months probation last night after pleading guilty to contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
Wiggins had been charged with felony sexual assault but pleaded guilty to the lesser charge in February.

He showed no emotion when the sentence was read by Judge Karen Flowers. The maximum penalty was one year in prison and a $1,000 fine.
Wiggins' attorney told the judge that Wiggins continues to deny that the incident involved sexual contact or touching.
Flowers said based on Wiggins' clean record, and letters of support from former Conhuskers coach Tom
Osbose and current receivers coach Ron Brown, she agreed.
CLEVELAND — Tiger Woods lost the first round of a lawsuit against an artist who sold copies of a painting of the golfer.
Judge rules against Woods in first round
U. S. District Judge Patricia Gaughan on Wednesday threw out a lawsuit that accused an Alabama artist of unfairly profiting from Woods' fame by selling prints of the golfer's 1997 Masters victory.
GOLF
Gaughan ruled that trademark or property rights laws do not protect Woods' image and that the First Amendment allows artist Rick Rush not only to paint Woods' image but also to profit from copies of the artwork.
The lawsuit was filed in Cleveland because Woods' company, ETW Corp., is based in the offices of his agent, Cleveland-based International Management Group.
Golden Spikes benefit from Brett's assistance
OMAHA, Neb. — Life in the Kansas City Royals' front office is not keeping baseball Hall of Famer George Brett too far from the field.
MLB
Brett, a vice president with the Royals' organization, was in Omaha this week to help out with the Golden Spikes, Kansas City's top minor-league team.
"I enjoy putting on the uniform, I enjoy throwing batting practice, hitting funges, watching the game from the dugout," Brett said. "But would I want to do it on a full-time

basis? No. So these little two- and three-day trips are a lot of fun for me."
In 21 seasons with the Royals, Brett had 3,154 wins, won three batting titles and the 1985 World Series. He worked with Spikes third baseman Kevin Oria, a 27-year-old former Chicago Cubs prospect, while in Omaha.
Whatever Brett told Orie must have worked — Orie hit his first home run of the season Tuesday night in a 5-4 loss to Memphis.
Brett, the Royals' vice president for baseball operations, plans to return to the Class-AAA Omaha Spikes some time this season. He also plans to visit Kansas City's Class-A clubs in Wilmington, Del., and Spokane, Wash.
PARIS — Brazilian superstar Ronaldo underwent surgery yesterday less than 24 hours after reinjuring his right knee in a long-awaited comeback match.

SOCCER
The 23-year-old Inter Milan striker had the ruptured patella tendon in his right kneecap completely rebuilt by the same doctors who operated on his knee on Nov. 30 — and cleared him to return to action 10 days ago.
He is expected back on the field in seven to eight months.
Ronaldo's comeback in an Italian Cup match Wednesday night was just seven minutes old when he fell to the turf, untouched by any opponent, clutching his knee in agony. The two-time FIFA player of the year, considered heir apparent to Pele and Diego Maradona, was carried off on a stretcher.

But the list of players who have left during Knight's tenure is long, and Reed's allegation is supported by other former players (not to mention the video).

Ricky Calloway played on Indiana's 1987 national championship team and eventually transferred to Kansas, where he was team captain in 1990.
Calloway supported Reed's claims by telling the press that he had seen Knight slap and punch players.
Other allegations of Knight's behavior are less violent, but no less disturbing. One story involves the coach's use of soiled toilet paper (personally soiled by the coach, that is) as a graphic metaphor for his team's play.
Yet this man is truly a coaching legend. His teams have won three national championships, and in
1976, he led his team to an undefeated season. No team has achieved that since.
Success can make a lot of other issues go unnoticed, and coaching is a job with lots of gray area. Coaches are part parents, part teachers. They have to motivate and educate their players, and they require discipline to do their jobs. But coaches like Knight need to learn that times have changed.
Fewer and fewer young people respond to military-style discipline and order. Instead, they want to be treated with respect and dignity. The argument that enduring abuse builds character just doesn't carry as much weight anymore. It's questionable that it ever should have. A man should be able to stand up for himself instead of simply accepting the abuse of a tyrant like Knight. But Knight doesn't see it that way, and don't expect him to change
with the times.
"I have no apologies to make whatsoever for anything that I have done in an attempt to motivate kids," he said.
Indiana University may be looking for more than just an apology. It appointed two university trustees to investigate allegations of abuse. John Walda, one of the investigators, said that Knight's coaching stature would not influence the investigation.
"I want to emphasize one thing," he said. "There are no sacred cows at Indiana University and that includes the basketball program."
If that is truly the case, then Knight should go. Intimidation and violence are no longer acceptable methods for teaching and motivating young people.

Football game to feature thin secondary line
Continued from page 1A
The Jayhawks have only seven defensive linemen this spring, so four will play with the blue team and three with the white team. Junior nose tackle Nate Dwyer, who will play for the blue team, said the
defensive linemen would survive the scrimmage in good shape.
"The guys that we do have are tough, hard-nosed players, so we'll be all right with just the seven that we've got," Dwyer said. "And if someone does get
hurt, we'll make some adjustments with some of the outside linebackers."
Allen did not expect a high-scoring game.
"What typically happens here is it's not going to be a very explosive football game," he said.
