HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday:
Education is the key to your success this year, and it also could be the way you find true love. In April, your options are so diverse you may have trouble choosing. Pick something fun you can use to make money. In May, structure is required. In June, romance blossoms in a classroom setting. August is best for sports and following your destiny.
Aries (March 21-April 19): Today is a 6.
You may feel your power waning as the sun begins to go from your sign into Taurus, but that's OK. You've got new status, new responsibilities and perhaps quite a bit of new wisdom. Use it to keep yourself from wasting lots of time and energy on an unnecessary trip across town.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Today is a 4.
Your money may be in jeopardy today, so keep a close eye on it. Looks like there could be a leak that you don't even know about. Looks like it a little too late now. The good news is that you may qualify for a raise in pay.
Gemini (May 21-June 21): Today is a 6.
The sun is in Aries. The moon's in your sign today, enhancing all your natural charm. Even when you're down, you can manage to cheer other people, and they definitely appreciate it. Offer encouragement to a person who's stuck.
Cancer (June 22-July 22): Today is a 6.
Cancer June 22- July 22; Today is a 8.
A friend seems to be having problems, but you can help. If you get in information, however, remember to keep it in confidence. So whatever you learn, keep to yourself. Let your friend know you're going to do that, too.
Leo (Julv 23-Aua. 22): Today is a 5.
You're looking good, but don't rest on your laurels.
Today, for example, a long-distance contact could be fruitful. You'll get what you need with little more than a phone call.
Virao (Aug. 23-Sep. 22): Today is a 6.
Virgo (Aug. 23-September 22): Today is a b.
The pressure you've been under is starting to ease. You've had more than enough stress to last you for quite a while. Now, the sun's getting ready to go into Taurus, and that will make your whole life easier.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Today is a 6.
Scarpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Todav is a 5.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Today is a 6.
Looks like all sorts of fun, and you're right in the middle of it. You get to organize the party, or set up the rendezvous, or somehow bring them all together.
Without you, the different factions can't really figure out how to proceed.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Today is a 5.
It looks as if there could be information leaks today.
This is good, because you can collect data that was previously unavailable. If you've got any tough questions, ask them again. It could also be bad, however If you're not careful you may say more than you meant to.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Today is a 6.
Odds are you'll get into a debate today, possibly with one you love. You don't want to argue, but obviously this person needs a little straightening out. Instead of telling your side of it again, listen. You may be surprised to find that the other person already knows what you were going to say.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Today is a 6.
Focus on your paperwork. Don't try to avoid it. It looks like there may be a rebate or a coupon lurking under that stack of papers you've let pile up. Think of this chore not as drudgery, but as a treasure hunt.
Aquarius (Jan, 20-Feb, 18): Today is a 5.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Today is a 5.
Someone in a position of authority can be rather hard to deal with. That person wants all your attention. Don't let personal matters interfere. No private calls on company time, OK? Romance may flourish today, but if it does, it's because you've scheduled it for the right time and place.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Today is a 5.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Today is a 5.
There's been a bit of a conflict between your work and your family responsibilities. You'd probably just as soon go with the family and let the work take care of itself. But wait, don't quit your job. New technology might provide an option that didn't exist before.
After having not played in a month because of three game cancellations and spring break, the Jayhawks came out looking rusty. Playing on a muddy field made for a number of dropped passes and a slow game for both teams.
SPORTS BRIEFS AND SCORES
The Kansas men's rugby team closed its intercollegiate schedule Saturday with a 15-3 victory against Missouri at Westwick Rugby Complex in Lawrence.
The Jayhawks lead the entire game, scoring first on an 8-meter try run by Oliver Parkinson, Prairie Village freshman. Ryan Crosby, Teague kauni, convicted the kick, and added a penalty kick later in the first half.
Men's rugby team wins against Missouri 15-3
The Tigers scored a penalty kick of their own before halftime, and the score remained 10-3 until the last minute of the game. J.P. Davies, Leawood freshman, broke the Missouri defense, giving Kansas a second try.
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
"This felt really good," said Ryan Kiliany, Kansas City senior. "I hate Missouri so much, and they defeated us last fall, so this was sweet."
The men finished their season with a 4-2-1 record against other schools, and will face Kansas City Rugby Football club on Saturday.
The Kansas women's rugby team was upset by Missouri 10-0 Saturday in a game also played at Westwick. In a controversial call, Tracy Williams, Lenexa junior, appeared to have scored, but the try was called back by referee Gary Hartzell. Kansas coach John Wiley, enraged by the call, was then ejected from the game by Hartzell.
"That call hurt us, but that's not why we lost," said Heidi Spann. Lawrence junior. "We allowed ourselves to be outplayed today, which is unfortunate."
The women's team does not play this weekend, as the club will play
host to the Western High School Rugby Championship at Westwick on Saturday.

Fletcher earns Most Improved Award for outstanding season
NCAA appearance and 10th consecutive 20-win season. A season which saw Washington win her 500th career game on Feb. 10 against Oklahoma.
"It's a great opportunity to come together and recognize the accomplishments of these young women," said Washington, who received a commemorative basketball in honor of her own
accomplishment. She used the occasion to thank her team.
"When we were approaching the 500th win, I saw the strain on their faces. I just want to tell them how much that meant and how I will never forget it."
Brooke Reves received the Shebra Legrant Newcomer Award and Jackie Martin Inspiration Award after scoring 10.4 points per contest — second only to Pride — in her first season playing in the Kansas program.
The Assists Leader and Academic Achievement awards went to Jennifer Jackson who performed on the court as well as in the classroom. She was named to the first-team academic all-Big 12 team for the second straight year.
Pride; Was recognized with five awards.
The team's loudest applause may have come when Heather Fletcher was given the Most Improved Award. The 6-3 junior nearly tripled the playing time of her first two seasons combined. She provided much needed bench support after
season-ending knee injuries to Suzi Raymant and Nikki White depleted the Jayhawks' depth, obstacles of which Washington was quick to remind the audience .
"The way they handled challenges says a lot about this team," she said. "They displayed what unselfishness is all about."
Players, however, were not the only members of the Jayhawk family honored for their unselfishness.
Peg Wittmer, who will retire this year after more than 20 seasons as a radio announcer for the Jayhawks, was recognized for her tireless dedication to women's basketball. Wittmer anchored the Marian Washington show in 1977, one of the first women's basketball shows of its kind, at a time when Washington said many thought businesses would never support women's basketball.
Fletcher: Earned loup applause for her role on the team.
Nakia Sanford, who received the Adrian Mitchell Sportsmanship Award, and Shandy Robins each were presented with framed jerseys from the team, and each spoke about her time at Kansas.
"I can now start the next chapter of my life." Robbins said. "I just want to say to this team, work hard and stay together, and you will succeed."
