HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Jan. 18).
Today's Birthday (Jan. 16).
New information shatters old assumptions. Old fears dissolve as if by magic. All of a sudden, you emerge as a warm, cuddly cutie with a heart of gold. Of course, many people already know that's what you are. Now, everybody will. Also, an old source of income starts producing again.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 7. A lot of the big decisions are being made in private, by you as well as others. This gives you more freedom to change your mind without having to explain everything to everybody.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 7. Slow down, and go through your list of pros and cons. Eventually you'll get sick of reviewing things and will simply choose. You can make corrections later.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 7.
A friend can clue you in on the latest scoop. You were missing pieces of the puzzle and couldn't figure it all out. Meet privately with a person who's in the know. It'll all start to make sense.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 7.
Don't worry if things seem to be stalled. All in due time. For some of the stuff on your list, the time isn't right yet. Besides, your focus might change. Listen to a person with strong opinions.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 5.
Keep shopping till you find the right thing
at a price you can afford. You hate pinch-
ing pennies, but you can when you have to.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 7. Mercury, your ruling planet, is going retrograde. From our vantage point here on Earth, it appears to go backward. It's in the area of your chart that indicates you may encounter technical difficulties at work over the next two weeks. Be prepared.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22)—Today is a 6. Postpone your date for tonight. This weekend will be much better. Besides, you don't have time. You need every minute to keep a promise you've made. Let somebody know he can pamper you tomorrow.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 6.
Mercury's going retrograde. For you, that signals technical difficulties at home for the next two weeks - small appliances, computers, anything with an engine. Better get your car serviced and pick up batteries for the flashlights.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 6.
Take your time, and read the instructions again. It's not cheating to get a more experienced person's help. Going through your own notes isn't a bad idea. You may already be able to think of something you forgot.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 7.
It's a good thing you're feeling inquisitive, because you'll be running into more problems. Most of them have to do with money. You'll get what's coming, but it may take longer than expected.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 7.
As you know, the only thing that's constant is change. Mercury, the planet symbolizing the mind, is in your sign, and it's going retrograde, so you may experience some confusion for the next couple of weeks.
Use this time to sort, file and fix things.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 7.
You're a nice person, but you don't have to be a pushover. You don't need permission to say what's on your mind. Don't be embarrassed if you feel nervous or stumble with words. People get the point.
Men's,women's teams roll into top 25 rankings
BOWLING
By Steve Schmidt Kansan sportswriter
When Kansas students think of national rankings, the men's basketball team usually comes to mind. However, after a string of impressive performances, the men's and women's club bowling teams are climbing to the upper echelon of college rankings as well.
rankings as well.
In the latest poll of the National Collegiate Bowling Coaches Association, the men's team was rated 10th and the women were 14th.
While students were off on winter break, the men's team took home first place out of 37 teams at the National Colgate Invitational Tournament in Maple Shade, N.J., from Dec. 27 to 28. On its way to the tournament crown, the club defeated a top 10 school at Michigan State and the second-ranked team in the nation, Saginaw Valley.
ranked team in the nation, cognit-
"Every tournament it seems to be a different person stepping to the star of that tournament," said Mike Keeler, St. Charles, Mo. senior. "Somebody is stepping up to pull the weight and pick the guys up."
The women club introduced Four Jayhawks were named to the all-tournament team: Marc D'Errico, Rochester, N.Y., sophomore; Jason Elliott, Salina junior and University Daily Kansan designer; Kristina Boehm, Olathe junior; and Annetta Manthei, Rochester, Minn., freshman.
The women's club finished fourth.
freshman. "When we're struggling it seems like we always have a couple guys to come through big for us,"
D'Errico said. "When we're all bowling well, I don't think there's another team in the country that's as good as our team. When we get it going, we can strike a lot."
The women have been as equally impressive. They have equaled the men's efforts at each match.
"Each and every one of us has put in a lot of hard work and dedication to the team," said Nicole Mosqueda, Topeka junior. "We just set our goals and we're going to everything we can to reach them."
"I think it's a lot of hard work and communication," said Tiffany McBurney, Albany, Ore., senior. "We've stressed communication all year long; we're going to continue to stress it for the rest of the year. Communication is definitely the key. You've got to learn not only to bowl your own game, but you have to learn to be able to help your teammates out."
Men's and women's coach Mike Fine said he believed his teams were coming right along in the "helping your teammates" department.
"There hasn't been one situation where we have just one guy or girl to carry us." Fine said. "We're good on both the men's and women's side that you roll the dice to see who's going to step up and a have a big game. Everybody's done it."

Hard feelings after Hornets win
DENVER — Nick Van Exel stood at midcourt looked skyward and yelled a profanity.
With shooters Raef LaFrentz, George McCloud and Voshon Lenard on the floor, the disgruntled point guard passed to Zendon Hamilton, who missed a potential game-winning 3-pointer Tuesday night.
Hamilton took only 15 previous shots before misfiring with 5.8 seconds left in Charlotte's 99-96 victory over the Nuggets.
"I wanted to get the ball back to Zendon to create a little space," said Van Exel, who has repeatedly demanded a trade the past four days. "People weren't in the right position, and Zendon was there."
Van Exel wasn't the only one angry after the game.
game. KUSA-TV in Denver broadcast a videotape of Nuggets coach Dan Issel shouting angrily at a fan. The tape shows Van Exel and another person trying to nudge Issel into a tunnel leading away from the arena floor.
Nuggets spokesman Tommy Sheppard said late Tuesday the team was still gathering information about the exchange. "We'll make a response at the appropriate time once we have all the information," he said.
Van Exel had 18 points and 15 assists, but Lee Nailon scored 20 points for the Hornets, and Elden Campbell made two late free throws.
Elden Campbell made the mistake "Just another frustrating loss," said Van Exel, who hasn't altered his stance on a trade demand and admitted hearing boos at the start of the game. "I expected more, but a couple of boos won't hurt."
Campbell scored 16 points before fouling out with 58 seconds left. PJ. Brown added 18 points and 11 rebounds for the Hornets, who last beat the Nuggets on Dec 10, 1999.
LaFrentz had 23 points and James Posey 22 for Denver, which lost its fifth straight game.
Deliver, when lost, the Nuggets a 96-95 lead with Van Exel gave the Nuggets a 19-65 lead with 1:46 left with a jumper, but Campbell hit two free throws with 1:31 left to put the Hornets ahead. McCloud missed a layup, but Charlotte was called for a shot-clock violation with 23 seconds left.

"We were going to run a high pick-and-roll with Nick getting the ball and either Raef or George popping open for a shot," Issel said. "Only Zendon popped open and didn't make it."

Kansas running back's diversion deal in danger
Kansas sophomore running back Reggie Duncan missed his appearance in Lawrence Municipal Court at 8 a.m. yesterday.
Lawrence municipal prosecutor Tom Porter had filed a motion to revoke Duncan's diversion agreement in September of last year. This came after Duncan was charged in Douglas County District Court. Duncan and former teammate Mario Kinsey had been arrested by KU Public Safety officers after a student reported that the two had stolen her purse and used one of her credit cards to order pizza.
Duncan was arrested and charged with theft of less than $500 in September 2000 for shoplifting at SuperTarget, 3201 S. Iowa St. He agreed to a diversion program that would wipe his record clean of the incident if he didn't break the law during a one-year span.

Five Indianapolis schools gain from PeyBack Classic
INDIANAPOLIS — Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning split $70,000 among the football programs of five Indianapolis high schools, their shares of the proceeds from the second PayBack Classic.
"One of the nearest things this year was to see players using equipment and uniforms purchased with proceeds from last year's event," Manning said. "I realize how important the funding is to help these schools."
help these schools — Arlington, Tech, Broad Ripple, Manual and Northwest—and one private school, Indianapolis Scecina, played a triple header at the RCA Dome on Sept. 22. About 10,000 fans attended.
