HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Oct. 31).
This year you'll learn through experience. Move cautiously in October, or the lesson could come the hard way. There's plenty in December, but it may not last. Hold onto it. Learn how from a master in January. A domestic dream you have in February can come true. Write it down and start planning. Use a stumbling block as a stepping stone in May. Locate the treasure in June. Don't be gone for long in July. Friends help you achieve your objectives in September.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 6.
You could be in for a rude awakening, especially if you overdid it last night. An older person isn't interested in excuses. He or she is watching. Your actions speak louder than words, so look sharp.
Pretend you're top dog.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is an 8.
You start to feel better and not a moment too soon. Your confidence improves as the day goes on. Wrap up old business then celebrate. So what if it's a Tuesday. Be who you've always wanted to be. It could stick.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 5.
Take care. Dippening too far into savings would be a move you'd regret. If something breaks down, you may think you need to replace it. Take time to shop. It'll make a big difference. If you act in haste, you may repent at your leisure.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 7.
Cancer On July 29 You may be ready to make a commitment. First, you need to discuss a couple of things. You're having a hard time bringing them up, but you'd better do it. You don't have much time.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 6.
You could start out behind if you goofed off yesterday. Don't you hate it when that happens? You'd have no one to blame but yourself, of course, and that's even worse. Hurry and finish old business. A new assignment is coming soon.
Virgo (Aug. 23.Sept. 22) — Today is an 8.
You could be in an unusually bold mood. You're generally so docile — even shy. Tonight, you may feel more comfortable in a pirate outfit. Take no prisoners. All in good fun, of course.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is a 6.
Pay attention to details or pay the consequences.
For example, if you leave the ice cream sundae dish over overnight, it's liable to be full of ants in the morning. Did that already happen? Bummer.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 7.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 7.
A friend needs help, and you could come up with the winning suggestion. Be careful, though. This could cost more than expected. You provide the idea and even some labor, and let the others pay for the supplies.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 6.
This is not a good day to ask for a raise, even if you’re worth it. The person who signs the paychecks is in a nasty mood. Meet your deadlines and keep your promises, instead. Either that, or apologize for not keeping them.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 7.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 7.
You could get up on the wrong side of bed this morning. Don't worry. By the time you're partying with friends tonight, everything will be fine. You can fool them, too. Go as the other side of your personality, the one they never knew you had.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 7.
You could dress up as what you're afraid might happen. You could be an endangered species, or you could go as the way life could evolve. You could be a great-looking, compassionate space traveller with magical powers.
**rusces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is an 8.**
Tonight you can be anything, including the fascinating being you are, in your heart of hearts. You heal through loving even those who hate you, and that's an awesome trick. You'll get to practice on an annoying person soon.
The Kansas basketball team added a little junior college flavor yesterday.
Last night, Jayhawk coach Roy Williams announced that three walk-ons would be added to the roster for the upcoming season. All three, Brett Ballard, Lewis Harrison, and Todd Kappelmann, played for junior colleges last year.
BASKETBALL
Ballard, a 6-foot junior, played at Hutchinson Junior College last season and participated in Late Night with Roy Williams on Oct. 13. A native of Hutchinson, Ballard played with fellow Jayhawk Chris Zerbe at Hutchinson last season and will wear number three for Kansas this season.
Williams adds three walk-ons to team
Harrison is also a 6-foot junior guard out of Kansas City, Kan., who played two seasons at Kansas City (Kan.) Community College. He will don number 24 this year.
Kappelmann, meanwhile, is the younger brother of former Kansas baseball player Brett Kappelmann. Kappelmann, who played at Butler County Community College the last two years, will wear number 50 for Kansas.
The new members tip off the exhibition season with their new team against the California All-Stars tomorrow at Allen Fieldhouse.

Broncos quarterback arrested on DUI charges
NFL
DENVER — Denver Broncos quarterback Brian Griese takes complete responsibility for actions that led to his weekend arrest on charges of driving under the influence.
Griese was pulled over Saturday on an interstate outside Denver. Police said he was traveling 80 mph in a 65 mph zone.
"I'm going to stand up and take it like a man, go on from there," he said yesterday.
He said at a news conference he had a couple of drinks at dinner with a friend before he headed home.
"I understand the seriousness of the charges, and I'm going to take
full responsibility for it because that's just the way that I am," he said.
Griese faces a Monday, Jan. 16,
court date.
He failed roadside sobriety and alcohol breath tests and was taken to a detoxification facility in Aurora, Colo., said Colorado State Patrol trooper Rob Marone. Griese's blood-alcohol content was above the 0.10-percent legal limit, but Marone would not be more specific.
Griese was the NFL's highest-rated passer until he injured his right shoulder in a Sept. 17 game against Oakland. He missed a game because of the injury and has said he could need surgery during the off-season to repair torn cartilage.

PHOENIX — The Kansas City Royals and Texas Rangers say they will move their spring training sites from Florida to Surprise, Arliz., if the Phoenix suburb builds a stadium.
Top officials of both franchises made the commitment at a news conference with city officials yesterday. The move is anticipated for 2002.
Money for the $45 million stadium would be in place if Maricopa County voters approve Proposition 302 Tuesday, Nov. 7, said Surprise City Manager Bill Pupo.
Two-thirds of the money would come from the measure and one third from the city.
Proposition 302 would impose a hotel and rental car tax to pay for a new stadium for the NFL's Arizona Cardinals as well as provide money to improve and construct spring training facilities. The measure also includes money for youth sports.
However, Surprise city officials said they would seek other means to build the facility if the measure was defeated.
Surprise is a fast-growing city of about 40,000, located 35 miles west of downtown Phoenix.
"With the possibility of coming to Arizona, we didn't think
twice, said Royals executive vice president Herk Robinson. "We are firmly committed to signing a long-term lease with the city of Surprise and feel that our relationship will be one of
good citizenship that we can give to the community as well as receive."
The Royals' lease of their spring training site at Haines City, Fla.. expires after the
2002 season, but Robinson said his team could move before then. The Rangers' lease in Port Charlotte, Fla., expires after next season.
General managers and managers of both teams attended the news conference, along with Hall of Famer George Brett, who played his entire career with the Royals, and Rangers shortstop Royce Clayton, who lives in nearby Scottsdale.
"There's no question that there are a lot of benefits to us to come here," said Mike Cramer, chief executive officer of Southwest Sports Group, which owns the Rangers and the NHL's Dallas Stars. "It's an easier trip for our fans coming from Dallas. The quality of the league here is tremendous. The support for the league here has been tremendous."
Royals manager Tony Muser participated in Arizona spring training for 19 years with the Chicago Cubs and Milwaukee Brewers.
"It seems as though we're always the visiting club when we play in Baseball City," Muser said. "There's never a feeling of roots.
"The first time I talked to Herk about it, I said if the opportunity ever comes up, it's a great place to train. The weather is consistent. It's a little bit easier to get in shape. It's just a better process all around."
Clayton, who trained in Arizona when he was with San Francisco, said travel during the spring was a big consideration.
“Spring training can be tough if you have to travel far distances,” he said. “The Arizona area offers short trips between ballparkes. Florida is tough. I was in culture shock having to go out to Florida, so I'm looking forward to coming back to Arizona if we can make that happen.”
Anaheim, the Chicago Cubs,
Milwaukee, Oakland, San Diego
and San Francisco all train in
the Phoenix area. The Arizona
Diamondbacks, Chicago White
