HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (March 25).
You want to make sure your side wins, of course, but don't think you have to do all yourself. You get a lot of strength from the people who love you — and from one person in particular. Take good care of that person, and he or she will take good care of you. Enroll him or her in the cause you feel strongly about, and it's a done deal.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is an A.
Are you facing a tough choice? Spending time with dear friends or sneaking out for a secret romantic rendezvous? No? You mean, it's not a tough choice? Right!
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 5.
Your place is so warm and cozy, it's a favorite hangout for the whole gang. That explains why so many of them feel it's OK to drop in on you unannounced. That could happen again soon. Better stock up on provisions.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is an 8.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is an 8. You like to keep up on all the latest trends. That's good, but it can be hectic. First, identify the "in" thing to do. Then, grab all your friends and go do it.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 5.
You could make quite a bit of money if you're willing to do the work. Are you in line for a promotion?
Take on a little more responsibility.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22. Today is a10.
You shouldn't have to go to work when you're feeling as good as you do. On the other hand, even work might be fun. It's sort of like you're in love, only might be. Is it that you're coming from love?
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 6.
You can find the money you need to get what you want for your home. Or perhaps it's something that is required for somebody in your family. Get the item that saves the most work, not the one that's the most fun.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22). Today is an 8.
What you imagined and the way things are turning out could be quite different. Should you let this upset you? You don't have time for that! Get going!
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov.21). Today is a 6.
You'll find it difficult to achieve much of anything now, so wait. Find out exactly what's required, and plan how you're going to do it. Start putting a team together in your mind.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 10.
You may have to leave something behind. It's time to try something you thought you couldn't do.
Maybe that negative thought is one of the things you'll have to learn to do without.
capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is a 7.
You might be a little worried, but don't let it cramp
your style. Don't think about all the stuff you don't
have. Cherish the special stuff you do have.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is an 8.
you're often the teacher. This time, be the student.
Let somebody show you a new game. You may not
be great at first, but you'll get better. You have natural talent.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is a 6.
Accept a challenge. You'll grow into the job. It won't be long before you're playing the role perfectly. The money should be good, so make the effort.
Kansas suffers 17-run loss to cap dismal spring break
Baseball team gives up 28 hits sets school record for hits given up in a game
By Ryan Wood Kansan sportswriter
During a cold and rainy Sunday afternoon, the Kansas baseball team suffered its worst defeat of the season, losing 22-5 to Oral Roberts at Hoglund Ballpark.
"It was a tough day to play," coach Bobby Randall said, "but we didn't play very tough."
Senior Jake Wright suffered the loss, pitching just 2/2/3 innings. The Golden Eagles pounded out 28 hits, setting a team record for most hits and a Kansas record for most hits allowed. Every starter for Oral Roberts had at least two hits, and seven of them tallied three or more.
the jayhawks (11-9 overall, 1-5 Big 12 Conference) didn't score until the fifth inning, when they were already down 18-0. Four errors, including two on potential double play balls, didn't help matters either
"Jake was having a hard time letting it go today," Randall said, "and they were really teeing off on him."
"Nothing that we did today was of the quality that we expect." Randall said.
Freshman catcher Cole Armstrong went 4-for-4
Freshman Tyson Bothof was the most effective Kansas pitcher of the day. He threw 4 2/3 innings of relief, striking out four while walking three.
with a home run, and junior first baseman Kevin Wheeler hit his fourth home run of the season.
"I thought Tyson came in and battled his tail off," Randall said. "I was very pleased with what he did."
Notes
The Jayhawks started their spring break with a dismal five-game road trip in Texas, dropping three to Baylor and two to Texas-Pan American. They returned home Friday for a game against Michigan. After losing the lead in the top of the ninth inning, pinch-hitter Adam Rachlin provided a dramatic game-winning three-run home run in the bottom of the ninth, giving Kansas a 9-7 victory.
"I was just looking to hit the ball hard and let it go where it would," Rachlin said. "And that's how it happened."
Sophomore outfieldier Matt Trible went 2-for-4 and hit his team-leading fifth home run of the season. Junior Ryan Jakubov got the win in relief.
- Sophomore second baseman Ryan Baty's 0-for-3 performance yesterday snapped his 13-game hitting streak, the longest by a Jaihawk this season.
Kansas was scheduled to play Michigan yesterday, but the game was canceled because of the weather. The Jayhawks will play at Creighton on Tuesday.

The second game was a role reversal when the Oklahoma State pitcher allowed just two hits and struck out 14 Kansas batters as the Jayhawks fell 4-1.
Kansas then traveled to Baylor for its first Big 12 road game. The Jayhawks broke Baylor's 24-home game winning streak with a 2-1 victory on Saturday. Pierce earned her second Big 12 win and improved to 8-4 for the year. Freshmen pitcher Serena Settlemier picked up the first save of her collegiate career, pitching the final two innings.
"I thought it was a good win for us," Bunge said. "I was really pleased with the job Serena Settlemier did in relief. It was a hard fought victory and both sides played well."
The Jayhawks ended spring break with a 1-0 loss to Baylor yesterday. The Bears scored the only run of the game in the third inning. Kansas threatened in the top of the fourth but stranded three base runners.
Kansas plays again Wednesday against Arkansas in Fayetteville with the double header starting at 3 p.m.
