HOROSCOPES
bday (March 7)
Today's Birthday (March 7).
You'll learn quickly this year, with the help of good friends. You'll save time and effort by following their advice instead of learning everything the hard way. Trust your own judgment in romance, however. Your intuition will be right most of the time.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 6. The good news is that Venus is moving into your sign. That should make you luckier in love through the end of the month. The bad news is thattoday, you'll be held accountable for all your actions.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is an 8.
Why not try something different? Take another route to work, and take the long way home. Sign up for a class. Stop by the library and find out about something new. You'll feel refreshed.
Gemini (May 21- June 21). Today is a 6.
You like raking in the dough, but you're not that keen on shelling it out. That's no excuse for making mistakes. Pay attention while paying your bills. You can find ways to save.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 7.
You know who a perfect match for you would
be? A bossy sort of person — a take-charge,
make-things-happen type. Somebody who'll
protect you. Somebody you can inspire. Look
around.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 6.
There's no more time to worry about who said
what to whom. It doesn't really matter now,
because there's more work coming in to keep
you busy.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is an 8.
The time to take action is here. You'll know when the exact moment arrives, if you're watching.
This is what all your preparation has been for. Be bold.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) today is a b.
Discretion is advised. Even if you know the right answer, don't blurt it out. Only tell the person who really needs to know — and tell them quickly.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 7.
Are you contemplating a new project? Don't know quite how you'll do it? Start by spreading the work around. The more people you get involved, the easier it will be. And, the more fun it will be.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is an 8.
You're smart, and getting smarter. You can set up your job to practically do itself. That'll leave you more time to listen to a loved one who needs your attention.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 6.
You'd rather make your fortune through a winning lottery ticket than through hours of back-breaking labor. But you have to earn that dollar in order to buy the ticket. Keep at it.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is a 6.
Take a while to mull over your present situation.
Don't let yourself be pushed into anything.
Something you don't quite understand is about
to become clear.
Pisces (Feb. 19-Mar 20). Today is a 7.
Stick with what you know is right, even if you're in the minority. More people may agree with you than you realize. You'll eventually hear from them.
No exotic place necessary for an erotic spring break
Spring break is a time for the frisky animal that is the college student to work on some of the sexual tension caused by the coming of the spring.
Some people go to exotic locals like Amsterdam, Las Vegas or Jamaica. And obviously, a hot European named Paulo makes for romps worthy of the sacred time that is spring break. And Jamaica, geez, even masturbation would be better when done in the shade of a palm tree. Just be warned — sand is a definite mood killer.
just be warned — sand is a delicate mood mine.
But say your "exotic" location is your girlfriend or boyfriend's bedroom. Yeah, the roommates might be gone and there might be new candles — but no palm trees. No Paulo either.
And if you're single and looking, you're stuck with the same old scenery in more ways than one.
Speaking of a good view, try looking into your partner's eyes while having sex - and while orgasming. It's a passionate way to blow both your minds.
SEXCOLUMN

But exotic adventures can be had — even in Lawrence.
Newer couples should take the week to expand their sexual horizons. Try incorporating a sex toy into your time together, or try a new position, even one that gives your partner a good view of you having sex together.
If you've been with your partner for a while, try kickin' it old school with sex. Have some hot make-out sessions, and fool around like horny teenagers until you can't take it anymore.
If you're on your own or looking around, try seducing someone at the bar for a one-night stand. Go after the lead singer of the band or that too-hot-to-believe guy or girl you've
wanted to lick all night. In any case you'll have a story to tell that will stand up to your friends' tales of San Pedro.
Of course remember, whether in San Pedro or The Sandbar, use a condom when you score.
Spring break can even be an erotic adventure if you're the solo sexual type. Use spring break to put the "Mmmm" back in masturbation. Work on teasing yourself to the point of no return, then backing off. Keep teasing until you can't stand it. Mess around with vibrators, anal beads, cucumbers — or all three.
No matter how you get off, make the most of your orgasm. Make a lot of noise when you get off. Moan, scream, cry — let your lover know you're having fun.
Make the most of your week — even in Lawrence. Enjoy the lovely weather, and get it on hot and dirty spring-break style. No palm tree needed.

Quality time can be fun, but keep these tips in mind
Ladies, spring break is around the corner and undoubtedly many couples are excited to have a week of relief from classes that they can use to spend time together.
Unfortunately, this can sometimes amount to too much time for some guys in relationships, so here are five tips to help ensure that extra time spent with your guy is of the utmost quality:
1. Let him look. Many couples decide to take trips to beaches where half-naked people run around. It is human nature to check out who else is out there. If you're being totally honest, you'll be checking out the other scenery, too. It doesn't mean we don't love our partners, it means that, like other people, we admire a nice body.
2. Avoid snooping Whether on a trip together or just staying home, chances are you'll be in your guy's living quarters much more than usual. Give him his privacy, and don't be tempted to go through his things. Trust me. You don't want to know why there is a crusty towel under his bed or why he secretly has a stash of Britney Spears CDs hidden in his dresser drawer.
3. Realize arguments are going to happen Unfortunately, the more people are around each other, the more they will argue. In general, couples hold back annoyances until they explode. When this happens, relax. Take some time to yourself. When you see each other, you can make up. Making up can make all of the fighting worth it.

4. Go on an adventure or do something
exciting If you've not planned a trip, try to find one day during the break where you and your guy can do something out of the ordinary. Take a road trip to a small town with a strange tourist attraction, visit the Country Club Plaza in Kansas City or even live out a sexual fantasy. Do something above and beyond your normal relationship.
5. Give him space Above all, give him space He doesn't need you to be there every second. Realize he might need a night out with the guys, and let him have it. If you have time apart, it makes all the time you spend together even more special.
Follow these five pieces of advice, and it's likely you and your beloved will have a great spring break. Remember, never take any time together for granted. Be innovative and have fun.

Alternative Breaks link students with service
By Meghan Brune Jayplay writer
Beer, bikinis and lazy afternoons are not prerequisites for all successful spring break excursions. For 138 University of Kansas students, there will be other concerns to fill the week away from school.
This spring break, students can experience a different trip. From March 15 through the 23, seven students will hike down to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and remove non-native blackberry bushes from Grand Canyon National Park on a trip sponsored by the Alternative Breaks program.
Students on the trip are required to bring their own food to the bottom of the canyon and carry all of their trash out with them, said Sarah Porter, Ottawa junior.
During the week students will also camp out, work with park rangers and at the end of the week, teach elementary students what they have learned.
Craig Bennett, Topeka senior, is a site leader for the trip. Bennett said he wanted to give back to the program as a site leader.
"I had heard from a friend who going on an alternative break was his most amazing experience at KU." he said.
Besides dedicating the week off, students are required to participate in a weekly class for a semester and take a weekend-long mini-break together.
On the mini break, the group practiced camping and teamwork skills at Hillsdale Lake in Ottawa. The group also aided in clearing the trails of fallen branches from the recent ice storm.
"Our team has really come together and gotten to know each other." Bennett said.
KU's Alternative Break program started eight years ago with a spring trip to El Paso, Texas. This spring, students are preparing to volunteer at 19 locations, including: Washington D.C., Tree Utah in Salt Lake City, New York City, Seguro National Park in Arizona and St. Mark's Wildlife Refuge in Florida.
"KU has one of the best and biggest programs in the nation," said Kendra Seaman, Wichita senior and co-coordinator of Alternative Breaks.
The program seeks applicants who are willing to work together.
"We want to make sure people are really committed to their trip," Seaman said.
Porter said she had fun and learned on the Alternative Breaks trips she had taken.
"I just wish I would have gotten involved earlier" she said.
The Alternative Breaks program was developed from a national service movement in schools across the country. The program's mission is to "create lifelong links between students and service."
The sites are based on location and service type. Each trip focuses on issues of education, cultural diversity, health, homeless and the environment, and devotes the week to its cause. Every year Alternative Breaks integrate new trips into the program to accommodate changing interests and issues.
"The national organization Break Away has set up a communication database between participating schools," Seaman said. "We share ideas and find new site through other people's experiences."
