HOROSCOPES
Today's birthday (March 19)
This has been the year for hiding your feelings. It is important that you start to open up. Something good might come out of something you have kept in.
Aries: Today is a 6.
Taurus: Today is a 9.
Events move at a more leisurely pace than you would prefer today. Put your energy into a process rather than forcing a result, Systematic or repetitive activity is your formula for success at the moment.
Feast your senses without guilt today. Purse your desires without inhibitions. Express your artistic abilities with confidence. The stars already have laid the groundwork for your excellent day.
Gemini: Today is a 5.
Your mind may be a little overloaded today, but you still can have fun. You cannot handle too many new projects, much less completely focus on those already before you. Avoid excessive coffee and comfort foods.
Cancer: Today is an 8.
Share with loved ones today. Friendly company brings out your strange and playful side. A powerful idea rises to the surface and demands immediate, brilliant action.
Leo: Today is a 5.
Imagination comes to your rescue when all else fails. Frustration breeds genius today. Anger is an explosive force that you may not be able to control once you unleash it.
Virgo: Today is an 8.
This is a good day for soul searching and deep thinking. A new dream grows around the answer to an old, persistent question. Transformation is swift once you have the spark to get it going.
Libra: Today is a 7.
Scorpio: Today is a 6.
Ready or not, you are poised to make a difference in the lives of others. People are swayed by your opinions and model their behavior on yours. If you let yourself become cynical, you will disappoint someone.
Sagittarius: Today is a 5.
Your energy could either help you achieve your goal or cause misfire for everyone around you. Be careful how you inform others that you are absolutely right. Make an effort to be generous.
Escape beckons but duty calls. If you let yourself feel strait jacketed by your situation, panic may occur. Feed your mind and spirit instead of rewarding yourself with food.
Capricorn: Today is a 9.
Your potential is enormous today. Creative activity proves to be deeply satisfying. Fun is where you find it. Fall in love if you have not already done so.
Aquarius: Today is a 5.
You feel trapped or bored today. Disorder makes you restless. Do not waste your energy on imaginary battles - you may be required to do some real fighting.
Pisces: Today is an 8.
Self-expression runs high today. Your articulated thoughts flow from you like water. You easily discover new pictures in the swaying of the trees and the face of the Moon.

SPORTS BRIEFS AND SCORES
The Kansas softball team left for California yesterday to play in the Capital Classic in Sacramento, the first leg of an eight-day road trip to the West Coast.
California on Saturday.
The Jayhawks split with the
Kansas opens the tournament against No. 7 Hawaii today and will face Arkansas tomorrow and No. 21
Razorbacks last week, dropping to 12-12. Kansas has not played Hawaii since 1992, when the Jayhawks defeated the Rainbows twice. California leads the all-time series against the Jayhawks 4-1.
After the Capital Classic, the Jayhawks travel to Pacific University for a doubleheader Tuesday and then to Stanford for another doubleheader Wednesday.
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
Coach Tracy Bunge has been pleased with pitchers Christy McMail and Jessi Kowal, who have split the pitching responsibilities.
The Jayhawks' offense is led by Lawrence natives Kristina Johnson and Shannon Stanwix. Johnson is averaging .343 for the season, with three doubles and nine RBIs. Stanwix leads the team with 25 hits, 14 RBIs, two home runs and a .357 batting average.
The Joyhawks begin their conference schedule with their first home game March 28 against Texas Tech.
Left fielder Sara Hollan ranks fourth on the all-time hit list with 185, and she needs just four to pass Jill Larsen in third.
The Jayhawks have faced seven top 25 teams this season, including No.1 Arizona, and have a 4-8 record against them.
Johnson needs eight RBIs to pass Kelly Downs on the all-time RB1 list
The team will play less than an hour away from the women's basketball
team, which will compete in the NCAA Sweet 16 in Oakland, Calif.

The Kansas men's tennis team will have its first match in a week and a half today at the Blue / Gray Tournament in Montgomery, Ala.
MEN'S TENNIS:
"It'll be a good match," he said. "We're familiar with them, and there shouldn't be any surprises."
The Jayhawks will face 106-hanked Auburn in their opening match of the tournament. The Tigers ended the Jayhawks' season last spring
KANSAS
TENNIS
in the NCAA Region Five finals. The hawks lost 4,2 which prevented them from going to the national championships.
After a slow start, the Jayhawks have won three of their last four matches. All of these wins were without their top singles player Enrique Abaroa. Abaroa is expected to play today.
Kansas coach Mark Riley said the Jayhawks knew what to expect from Auburn
"We're doing fine," he said. "We're back on track to where we thought we'd be at the beginning of the season. Hopefully, Enrique will be ready to go, and we'll be fine."
Riley said Abaroa's return and the week and a half without any matches had helped the Jayhawks.
It is the first time this season Kansas will play outdoors, and the weather could be an additional opponent—it rained yesterday in Montgomery. But playing outside should not be a problem, Riley said.
"We've practiced some outside," he said. "It will be a little different, but we usually don't have much trouble adjusting to being outside."
The Jayhawks will have only a few days off after returning from Alabama on Sunday. Wednesday they will head to the West Coast to face California, UNLV and New Mexico.
Drexler, a member of Houston's Phi Stlaima Jama dunking fraternity of the 1980s, returned to his alma mater yesterday as coach of the Cougars.
-Erin Thompson
"I love the Cougars, and I think we have a great opportunity to bring back the excitement and the success Cougar basketball enjoyed during my college playing days." Drexler said. "This is a new chapter in my career and a new challenge, but I'm ready for it."
Drexler to coach Houston
Clyde Drexler has a new job, and he has not even left his old one.
NBA:
The 10-time NBA All-Star will finish out the season with the Houston Rockets before taking over for the fired Alvin
Brooks, who in five years had only one winning season. Drexler, one of the 50 greatest players in NBA history, signed a five-year contract with a base salary of $150,000.
although he could earn much more through incentives.
Drexler and his current Houston Rockets teammate Hakeem Olajuwon led the Phi Slama Jama fraternity that entertained fans with their dunking performances and went to the Final Four three straight years, in 1982 and 1983 with Drexler and in 1984 without him.
The Cougars, with Coach Guy V. Lewis, had a 59-8 record in Drexler's final two seasons, but Drexler will find a different atmosphere when he finishes his NBA career.
Houston has not been in the NCAA tournament since it lost to Georgia Tech in the first round of the 1992 Midwest Regional under Pat Foster.
The Jazz activated the 7-foot-2 center yesterday after nearly five weeks on the injured list.
Finally, Utah's Greg Ostertag will have the chance to answer his detractors — on the court.
OSTERTAG ACTIVATED:
Ostertag, in his third nba season out of Kansas, was put on the injured list Feb. 12 because of a
stress fracture to his left leg. He missed 17 games while recovering
He has been the target of scathing criticism all season from All-Star teammate Karl Malone, who blasted the big man for showing up to training camp overweight and out of shape.
Malone also has criticized lazer owner Larry H. Miller for giving Ostertag a six-year, $39 million contract extension las year.
Malone scid the extension, along with Miller's comments that he was trying to build a team for the future, when Malone and fellow veteran John Stockton would no longer play, amounted to a slag in the face.
Malone noted he was playing for Utah for about $5 million this year after more than a decade in the NBA.
Osterag, after averaging 7.3 points a game as a starter last season, got off to a rough start this year. In 45 games — only 23 of those as a starter — he has scored 5.2 points and pulled down 6.4 rebounds per game.
Ostergat has refused to respond to the criticism during his recovery.
