HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday.
Expect a test. If you pass it, you could succeed beyond your wildest imagination. You've got a good chance, too. Study in August and ask for the money you'll need in September. Romance is a major distraction in December, and work in your primary interest in January. An old dream you'd given up on looks possible again in February, and a foreigner could inspire you to take action in April. Do what an older person suggests in May to get ahead and to win the prize in June.
To get the advantage, check the day's rating. 10 is the easiest day,
To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easiest day,
0 the most challenging.
Aries: Today is a 7.
Taurus: Today is an 8.
You could have problems. Something spontaneous you'd like to do with a sweetheart is unlikely to happen. If you can focus on work first, you might get the money you need. Don't scratch it off your list altogether. Use it as motivation, instead
Tomorrow should be wonderful. In the meantime, complete a domestic project. Confront a roommate, too. Once that's out of the way, you'll both feel much better.
Gemini: Today is a 6.
You're under a bit of pressure. You know almost everything, but not quite all of it, yet. Back to the books! With a little more study, you could solve yet another difficult problem — soon.
You and a bunch of friends may want to discuss your next move. If you're trying to raise money, don't give up. If you have a good reason, you'll find a way. Of course, feeding your families may be your good reason.
Leo: Todav is a 6.
A friend may want you to spend more than you can afford. Although you love to look good, spending too much is never required. You look good any way! Another friend could turn you on to an excellent bargain. Now, that's more like it!
You're probably feeling mellow. Although you're vaguely interested in trying something new, you're not quite ready yet. Take care of a detail first.
You're getting luckier. Prepare now and launch your new project tomorrow.
Libra: Today is a 7.
Scorpio: Today is a 7.
Sagittarius: Today is a 6.
Just about everything you try will be resisted. It's not your ideas that need change, or even your presentation. It's more likely what's going on in the other person's life. Deliberate another day and take action tomorrow.
Capricorn: Today is an 8.
Be a hard worker. You're tempted to toss it aside and make a run for the wide-open spaces, but that's not a good idea. What you do now could matter later, so stick to the same dull routine. You should be getting good at it.
Aquarius: Today is a 6.
You could have a romantic meeting with a loved one. A big deal could go your way, too. You may feel kind of shy, however. Luckily, you've already done the hard part. Relax and accept the rewards for your efforts.
You and another person can't see eye to eye. Something you care strongly about might go your way if you're persistent. If you're not, the other person will prevail. Why should you let that happen? You'd be miserable! Speak up!
Pisces: Today is a 6
Find a private place where you can catch up on your reading. It may be difficult to do, however. The workload is increasing. Other people want your attention and your time. Let your answering machine take your calls.
TRACK

New recruits hail from nearby areas
Out of the Jayhawks' five new recruits, four are from Kansas or Missouri — showing coach Bobby Randall's desire for local talent.
"There were not too many kids in the state of Kansas that went to Division I schools, but we got some." Randal said.
Kansas inked outfielder Kevin Farmer, a junior college transfer from Allen County Community College; Wamego infielder Travis Metcalf; Olathe first-baseman Adrian Jones; Independence, Mo., pitcher David Anderson; and Omaha pitcher Chris Smart.
Kansas finished the 2000 season 25-30, with a 10-20 Big 12 Conference record.

Smart, a 6-foot-4 right-handed hurler, struck out 61 batters as a senior and walked only 13 in 54 innings pitched. He'll join older brother Pete, who is a senior, on the mound. Pete recorded a team-high seven wins for Kansas last season.
SWIMMING
Tryouts for varsity squad will be open
Kansas men's swimming and diving coach Doug Dickinson announced Thursday that there will be open tryouts for the 2000-01 varsity squad. Those interested must attend a meeting at 4:30 p.m. Aug. 24 in Room 139 of Robinson Natatorium.
The 2000-01 swim season opens Sept. 23 in Carbondale, Ill., with an open lake race against Southern Illinois.
Administrator tapped for promotions role
Pat Warren, who has spent the past six years working in an administrative role for the Kansas athletics department, has accepted a promotion to work as the associate athletics director for external relations.
Werren will overssee the Williams Education fund, promotions and legal affairs and will serve as the department's liaison with ESPN Regional and trademark licensing.
He recently managed $38.4 million in capital projects for the athletics department, including the new video board at Memorial Stadium.
Warren was promoted to assistant athletics director last year after serving as assistant to the athletics director for three years. He joined the athletic staff in 1994 after serving for five years on the board of directors for the University of Kansas Athletic Corporation.

Orlando's kick wins ArenaBowl
ORLANDO, Fla. — The Orlando Predators won the ArenaBowl for the second time in three years yesterday, beating the Nashville Kats 41-38 on David Cool's 19yard field goal as time expired.
Connell Maynor threw for four touchdowns and Cool redeemed himself with the game-winning kick after missing two extra points and three field goals, helping Nashville stay in the game after a slow start.
Orlando, appearing in its third straight Arena Football League title game under coach Jay Gruden, built a 29-7 lead before the Kats scored 23 consecutive points to go ahead 30-29 early in the third quarter.
The Predators regained the lead
on Cool's 38-yard field goal, but the kicker missed the extra point after Orlando (14-3) scored again to take a 38-30 lead with 12:23 remaining. Nashville set up the dramatic finish with a touchdown and 2-point conversion with just more than five minutes to go.
Maynor, voted the game's Most Valuable Player, was 17 of 28 for 202 yards, including four of six for 34 yards on the game-winning 35-yard drive. The Predators ran the ball four straight plays before calling a time-out with 1.7 seconds left, giving Cool the opportunity to become the first player to decide an ArenaBowl on the final snap.
The kicker, who earlier missed attempts of 52, 57 and 22 yards, set off a wild celebration among the
crowd of 15,989. He was mobbed by teammates, music blared and confetti dropped from the ceiling of the TD Waterhouse Centre.
The AFL title was the sixth for Gruden as a player or coach. He won four ArenaBowls as quarterback for the Tampa Bay Storm, and his two championships as a coach ties him for second-place on the career list with Danny White.
The Predators beat Tampa Bay in the ArenaBowl two years ago, but lost the 1999 game to Albany.
Nashville (12-6) was 8-1 on the road before yesterday's game, but hurt its chances for a third straight playoff upset by allowing a safety and losing two fumbles while Orlando was building its 22-point lead.
