HOROSCOPES
Today's birthday (April 1)
Try to get everything you have to do done early in the day. Tonight is going to turn out to be a night you will never forget, so get everything done.
Aries: Today is a 6.
Stick to the issue while communicating. If you add editorial comments about your feelings, you may diffuse the power of your information. Say what you mean, and then do as you say.
Taurus: Today is a 7.
Gemini: Today is an 8.
Your artistic temperament and good sense of timing saves the day from total mediocrity. It costs you nothing to bring high entertainment value to friends and associates. You are as believable as you are amusing.
Cancer: Today is a 5.
The Gemini moon has your admirers lining up at the door. If you want to attract attention, now is the time to stand up and be recognized. As beautiful as you may be, people love you for your mind today
Your head is much more than a hat rack today. Your brain feels like an overloaded network of supercomputers. To minimize frustration, write your thoughts instead of speaking them.
You can argue a point from all sides, but you cannot settle on one right answer. Others are likely to seek your services as a negotiator. You are especially adaptable when faced with a flood of new data.
Virgo: Today is a 7.
You are much better at listening than at speaking. Wait until you have the full story before offering your analysis. Your brain power is guaranteed to amaze and bewilder someone meeting you for the first time.
Scorpio: Today is a 5.
Libra: Today is an 8.
Deep thinking pays off in big ways. If you answer only one question today, it will certainly be the most important. People in relationships discover something new and wonderful about each other.
Capricorn: Today is a 6.
Your mission is to somehow get a smile out of every one you meet. Humor is the preferred means of communication. People always remember the really good jokes.
Your emotions calm down enough to give you a clear view of the dollars and cents involved. Shrug it off if someone suggests that you are an idiot. Name calling will never touch who you really are.
Aquarius: Today is a 7.
Someone is determined to talk your ear off today.
Escape without guilt by mentioning your long list of prior commitments. Clear your mind of unwanted distractions by doing something that matters.
Pisces: Today is a 6.
Just because you disagree with someone's conclusion doesn't make her experience useless to you. Everyone has something to teach if you take a moment to listen.
All interaction is based on the family model.
Spring football practice to begin with drills today
SPORTS BRIEFS AND SCORES
Spring practice begins today at 4 p.m. for coach Terry Ellen and his Kansas football team.
Spring is officially here.
Rainy days, blooming flowers, the opening day of the baseball season and, of course, the start of football practice.
The Jayhawks return 43 lettermen, including 1.3 starters, from last year's team that finished 5-6 and in fifth place in the Northern Division of the Big 12 Conference.
The spring drills conclude with the annual Blue and White Spring Game on April 25 in Memorial Stadium.
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.

Jayhawk baseball slides past SMSU in close game
The Kansas baseball team squeezed by Southwest Missouri State 13-12 in Springfield, Mo., yesterday behind a five-run ninth inning that included a three-run home run by sophomore right fielder Les Walront and a two-run double by senior center fielder Clint Wrick.
The Jayhawks (15-12), coming off a 1-2 weekend series against Oklahoma, pounded out 18 hits and three home runs, alided by a stiff wind blowing toward field field. Junior catcher Josh Dimmick and sophomore left fielder Brett Kappelmann hit home runs. Southwest Missouri State (11-8) also had deep blasts.
"I have to give respect to our pitchers. With that wind, they could have hit 15 homers on us," Walrond said. "The pitchers did a good job battling today."
Junior pitcher Josh Bailey started, working five and one-third innings while allowing six runs. Junior pitcher Chris Williams picked up the victory in three and two-thirds innings of five-run relief.
Walrond, who occasionally has been ineffective at his newly expanded role combining pitching and hitting, came through with his first home run of 1998 after pounding out six last season. Southwest Missouri State pitcher Shanye Ferrier fired a high fast ball and Walrond found his power swing.
"Coaches be patient and look for a good pitch to hit," Walrond said. "He left it up and I was
Wrick sliced home the winning runs with a hard line drive that bounced off the pitcher and into right field and capped off an important comeback.
"To score 10 in the last three innings was really something," Kansas head coach Bobby Randall said. "Our bats were really quiet the first seven innings. We needed one of those comeback wins."

Men's NCAA championship yields low ratings for CBS
The rating is 6 percent below the 18.9 for Arizona's 1997 overtime win against Kentucky and 22 percent below the 22.7 from the Michigan-Duke final in 1992. Since that game, the rating has slipped every year except 1997.
Kentucky's victory against Utah on Monday night got a 17.8 rating/28 share, the lowest for the NCAA championship game since the 1972 UCLA-Florida State final, played in the afternoon, got a 16.0/35.
NEW YORK — The championship of one of the most exciting NCAA tournaments in history brought CBS the lowest prime-time title game rating ever.
Since 1992, the ratings for the NBA Finals have jumped 18 percent since 1992, the Super Bowl is up 10 percent since that year and the World Series has slipped 17 percent.
The championship game did have a higher rating than last year's NBA Finals, which averaged a 16.8/20 for six games. The highest-rated game from the Bulls-Jazz series, the fifth game, got a 20.1/35.
The NCAA tournament as a whole, with 18 games decided by fewer than three points or in overtime, ended at 7.3/17, 2 percent higher than the 7.2/17 last year. That rating is tied with 1995 for the second lowest since CBS began broadcasting the entire tournament in 1991. Last year's tournament averaged a 7.2/17.

Each ratings point represents 980,000 homes. The share is the percentage of televisions in actual use at the time.
