HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (April 23).
Teamwork is the key to your success this year. Start by making bold plans in May. Your decisions will have far-reaching consequences.
Aries: Today is a 5.
You tend to buy things just because you like them, without even looking at the cost. Today, an older woman will tell you not to do that and point out the best deals for your money. You're not usually interested in that sort of conversation, but this time you should listen.
Taurus: Today is an 8.
You're forceful and dynamic, and you are letting it be known what you want and need. That gives other people the opportunity to provide it, and some of them would love to do exactly that. By this evening, the shoe is on the other foot. You're going to have to please somebody else.
Gemini: Today is a 5.
Take advice from somebody who wants the best for you. It would be smart to ask for it in advance. Just walk right up to the person who wants to run your life and ask what to do next. You'll make a good impression, and you could get some very good advice.
Cancer: Today is an 8.
There's going to be a test tonight or tomorrow, and you're going to have to prove you know what you're talking about. If you don't have any experience, don't pretend that you do. The other person will see through it in a nanosecond.
Leo: Today is a 5.
This morning is an excellent time to buy gifts. There are several people in your life who have gone out of their way to help and have always applauded your performances and laughed at your jokes. You need to repay them for their generosity.
Virgo: Today is an 8.
You continue to be in the spotlight. There have been decisions to make lately, and you've done an excellent job in steering your team through the changes. The person who's so crazy about you isn't wrong. You are awesome. And humble, to boot.
Saittarius: Today is a 5.
Libra: Today is a 5.
Scorpio: Today is an 8.
Capricorn: Today is an 8.
You're strongly attracted to a person who thinks you're marvelous. That's a lot of fun, but it could interfere with your duties. If you can take work home with you, you don't have a thing to worry about. You'll be in the mood to work late into the night.
Look for another busy day, with great rewards. A lot of those will be emotional, but some will be financial.
Take yourself and your partner out dancing to celebrate. It's a good night for discussing secret hopes and dreams. Do that afterward, when you go for your hot fudge sundaes.
Aquarius: Today is a 5.
Your best time for taking on major challenges is first thing this morning. Don't put them off because they won't get any easier. Just the opposite is more likely Your intuition is good in the morning, too.
Your living environment is disrupted this morning, but in a pleasant way. The trouble isn't a lack of love, it's the abundance of it. This evening, however, your sweetheart won't be quite so snugly. He or she will more likely be in the mood for dancing. You'll just have to make the best of it.
Things seem to be going more slowly than you'd like. That’s OK. You needed time to think. Now you'll be assimilating information more quickly. By this evening, you'll start find the data you need to complete the task at hand. Proceed with caution and avoid an expensive mistake.
Pisces: Today is an 8.
You're strong, confident and good looking. Your intuition is excellent. You can figure out how to do just about anything you want. Now, what do you want? It's as if you're being granted three wishes, but these wishes will come true through your own imagination and hard work.
Gymnasts to make case for club status tonight
SPORTS BRIEFS AND SCORES
The student-formed Sports Club Council will meet at 7 p.m. tonight to decide whether to recommend the proposed Kansas gymnastics club as an officially recognized club.
Club founders will read through their constitution and make a presentation to the council.
"I don't know of any problems we could run into except maybe the liability issue, since gymnastics is kind of high-risk," said Jenelle Diebold, the club's would-be president and Wichita junior.
According to the KU Club Sports Handbook, the University of Kansas would not be held liable for any injuries club members received during competitions or other club-sanctioned events.
The handbook encourages members to obtain personal health insurance.
The meeting will take place at 156 Robinson Center. The council will give its recommendation to Recreational Services, which will make the final decision.

LINCOLN, Neb. — Standout point guard Tyronn Lue is leaving Nebraska after his junior year for the NBA draft, but Coach Danny Nee said yesterday that he had found someone who would try to fill the void.
Joe Holmes from Tyler (Texas)
Junior College signed a letter of
intent to join the Cornhuskers.
Nebraska signs transfer to replace Tyronn Lue
"We definitely had a need at the point guard spot after Tyronn left, and Joe Holmes is a player we think can help fill that loss immediately." Nee said.
To free space under NCAA scholarship limits, Nee announced that reserve guard Rodney Williams, who

saw limited playing time as a freshman last season, will transfer — probably to a junior college.
Holmes (5-foot.11) joins forward David Murray (6-may) from Masa (Ariz.) Junior College and forward Louis Trucott (6-7) of Milby High School in Houston as players who joined the Huskers during the spring signing period.
LARAMIE, Wyo. — Steve McClain, hired last week as an assistant at Texas &M, was hired yesterday as basketball coach at Wyoming.
Rodney Fields (6-4), a guard who played with Holmes at Tyler last season, committed to Nebraska during the fall signing period.
Wyoming Athletics Director Lee Moon said McClain, 35, who had been an assistant at Texas Christian for four years, would replace Larry Shyatt, who left the Cowboys for Clemson.
Wyoming basketball coach hired for wins, experience
"It's really been an emotional few days for our players, our fans and the people involved in Wyoming basketball," Moon said. "It's been a time of disappointment and anxiety. But it's now a time of anticipation and excitement. We have closed one chapter on Wyoming basketball, and today, we'll open a new chapter and move forward with great anticipation."
McClain, a 1984 graduate of Chadron (Neb.) State College, said he was looking forward to building on the accomplishments of Shyatt, who led the Cowboys to a 19-9 record and a berth in the NIT in his only season.
Moon said he was attracted by McClain's record, which includes leading Hutchinson Community College to a national junior college title in 1994.

"I really like to have people that have demonstrated the quality of experi-

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Tim Duncan, the San Antonio Spurs' rookie center, and the Miami Heat's Tim Hardaway were added to the U.S. basketball team yesterday, completing the 1.2-member unit that will represent the United States at the World Championship in Athens, Greece, this summer.

Jailed basketball player signs a letter of intent
Whitaker, once a national-caliber high school star, is expected to be released from Albemarle-Charlotteville (Va.) Regional Jail this fall, according to Mount St. Mary's Athletics Director Harold Menninger.
RALEIGH, N.C. — Melvin Whitaker, who has been in jail since 1996 for slashing a Virginia football player, has signed a letter of interest to play at Mount St. Mary's College in Emmitsburg, Md.
Whitaker slashed the face of Virginia defensive tackle Mauree Anderson with a box cutter during a pickup basketball game on March 5, 1996. Anderson received 75 stitches. Whitaker pleaded guilty to malicious wounding and was sentenced to 31/2 years in jail.
Menninger said he and coach Jim Phelan met with school officials before recruiting Whitaker.
Whitaker decided to attend Mount St. Mary's because a former roommate's father knew the assistant coach there. Whitaker paid an unofficial visit to the school in 1995 and made a good impression then, Menninger said.
Meninger said the school was taking a chance on Whitaker but said it was not out of step with the institution's tradition. One of the school's most famous alumni is the Rev. Edward Flanagan, who founded Boys Town USA in 1917 in Omaha, Neb., he said.
He said because of that impression,
he thought giving Whitaker another
chance was the right thing to do.
Whitaker's former coach, Eddie Gray, said letters he had received from Whitaker indicated a change of attitude.
"He was willing to take the blame for what he did," Gray said.
