HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (April 22).
There are still a few odds and ends to tie up this year. The more of them you take care of, the better you'll feel. Build yourself the perfect love nest. Some things you'll have to buy, but most of it comes through your own imagination and talent. Get creative!
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 6. It may take a while to wipe that grin off your face, but it's time to get back to work. You may have just decided that money isn't all that important, but you might as well have some anyway.
raurus (April 20-May 20). Today is an 8. You should be just about ready. When the planning and preparation is complete, you can begin your new endeavor, assured of success. Leave nothing to chance.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 6. You may want to spend the day in bed. Will your boss accept this note as your excuse? Maybe you'd better claim to have a cold instead.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 7. It may be later today or tomorrow before everything starts making sense. You may still have more reading to do, but you're headed in the right direction. Keep at it.
Leo (July 23-Aug.22). Today is a 7.
It's not a done deal yet, but the money could be flowing soon. Finish up all the little things you promised to do. Hold disagreements and critical comments for later.
virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 7.
Tie up loose odds and ends. You'll want to start a new project late tomorrow or the next day. If you don't know what that project is yet, don't worry. You will by then.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is a 7. Your friend's enthusiasm is contagious, but could it bring trouble? You could get away with goofing off yesterday,but that isn't the case now.Look alive!
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 7.
At first you might feel stuck. Then, opportunity knocks. It's a friend with a different perspective. All of a sudden, everything is possible again. If the right friend doesn't show up, call.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 5. Although you're busy, don't forget to do the reading. Something in that pile of paperwork will be quite useful. Prepare for an upcoming test.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is a 7. People will be stuck in their ways. If you want a positive answer to your question, wait until tomorrow to ask. There might be delays then, but the overall outcome looks good. Unlike right now.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.18). Today is a 6. You should have your plans pretty well figured out. Now comes the interesting part: finding the money. There's plenty of work out there. Do more of it.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is an 8. The tough part should be over by now. You've either succeeded or failed. Either way, it's good practice. The feedback you get from a critic is icing on the cake.
Women's soccer ends season with weekend games
The Kansas soccer team wrapped up its spring exhibition season by beating Big 12 Conference foe Oklahoma State 2-0, and tying Iowa 1-1 at SuperTarget Field on Saturday.
By Ryan Wood Kansan sportswriter
Saturday's effort finished the Jayhawks' spring season with a 4-2-3 record—and a positive outlook going into next fall.
The Jayhawks beat the Cowgirls 5-3 last fall in regular season action, but behind a strong defensive effort, goalkeepers Sarah Gonzalez, sophomore, and Meghan Miller, freshman, held Oklahoma State scoresless on Saturday.
"The spring went well," sophomore forward Lacey Woolf said. "We had our ups and downs, mainly due to injury."
Both of the Jawhaws' goals came after halftime. Woolf put Kansas up 1-0 midway through the second half, scoring from point-blank range off a cross by freshman forward Rachel Gilfillan. Woolf finished the spring season with four goals and three assists in nine games.
"and that shows we made some improvement."
Moments after breaking the stalemate. Gillfilan took a pass from freshman forward Lauren Williams and scored from 15 yards out, putting the game out of reach.
"We played the best we had all spring," Woolf said,
Kansas will continue offseason workouts for the remainder of the school year, in preparation for the fall season, which kicks off in late August against Southwest Missouri State. The team is hoping to improve on its 13-7 mark in 2001 with the addition of four new recruits and 15 returning letterwinners. Mason said the spring season was a definite step forward.
Kansas' afternoon match-up with Iowa was cut short with three minutes to play in the first half because of inclement weather. After Iowa scored first early, Gilfillan helped Kansas answer midway through the first half. The freshman eluded the Iowa goalkeeper and punched her fourth goal of the spring into the empty net, capping her productive day just before the rain put an end to the exhibition season.
Sophomore defender Maggie Mason said the team was pleased with its improvement during the offseason matches.
"As a team, we strung together passes much better and incorporated plays we learned in the offseason," Mason said. "We also tried to build on what we did in the fall."
"Individually, players stepped up their game and became more comfortable with their positions," she said.

The team finished the season with an overall record of 8-5, the most spring victories ever for the team.

Rowing team makes headway
The Kansas rowing team traveled to Redwood Shores, Calif., on Saturday for the Stanford Invitational with few expectations and competed with mixed results.
Kansas raced two varsity eight-boats and two varsity four-boats against Stanford, the No. 6 team in the country, and then No. 8-ranked California. The lavhawks won one race against each team.
The Jayhawks' first varsity four-boat, consisting of sophomore coxswain Sara Kilbride, senior rower Carrie Owens and sophomore rowers Beth Olson, Kristen Reynolds and Laura Adamson, defeated the Cardinal's boat by more than 10 seconds with a time of 8 minutes, 39 seconds.

"I think we made headway in how we are racing," Kansas coach Rob Catloth said. "We made a lot of improvement on the mental approach to the race."
While the Jayhawks did have some success on Saturday, they also had their share of problems. Battling gusty wind, the team's first varsity eight-boat lost its race to Stanford by 11.9 seconds and finished behind California by 25.5 seconds.
rowers Amber Snyer and Gretchen Schmidt, defeated California's boat with a time of 9:00.2.
Catloth said despite the results, he wasn't overly disappointed about his team's performance.
"It was really hard to tell how we really did because of the strong wind," he said.

GOLF Teams battle weather, poor play at championships
A rain-interfered weekend has been more than difficult for the Kansas women's golf team, as it
struggled to 12th place after two rounds of the Big 12 Conference championships in Manhattan. The team will finish play today.
After the first round of the tournament, the Jayhawks were in 12th place.
Jill MacDonald
Kansas is now 10 strokes out of 10th place.
Because of Kansas' current status in the tournament, team's season will end in with this weekend's play and not advance to national competition.
The top individual performer for the Jayhawks has been Jill MacDonald, who is currently tied for 37th place.

BOWLING Team struggles at tourney, looks ahead to next season
The KU men's bowling team finished 13th out of 16 at the Intercollegiate Bowling Championships yesterday. Going into the tournament, the KU bowlers were ranked No. 8, which was their first top-10 ranking since 1981.
After a rocky first day, the team was seeded 14th and forced to face the defending national champion, Western Illinois. The KU bowlers lost in four close games.
Next they faced Michigan State in the losers' bracket. After an initial victory, the team lost momentum while Michigan State caught fire, handing KU the loss.
Several of the KU bowlers were recognized as Academic All-Americans, including Mike Keeler, St. Charles,Mo., senior; Ryan Ludwig, Kansas City, Kan., junior; Brad Wass, Wichita junior; and Carly Ingham, Overland Park freshman.
Coach Mike Fine said he was looking forward to next season, as five of the top six men's bowlers would return. The team will also add high school phenom Ryan Page from Wichita, Kan., to the roster.
