HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Nov. 16).
Do something this year that helps you get stronger, more intelligent and more sophisticated. Push beyond your old limits to see new sights and meet new peo-
me. You've been the big frog in the little pond long enough. It's time to get into a bigger pond. This will be expensive, but you can afford it. Your best adviser is a close family member, perhaps one you don't like — not yet, at least. You'll come to appreciate the push he or she is providing.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 7
There's nothing you love better than running wild and free, way out ahead of everybody else. The reason you're so pushy is because you'd like to push through. Don't let up.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 5.
Today and tomorrow are best for treasure hunting, so plan accordingly. Ask questions of people who have more than you do. Ask about investments, insurance and the best value for your dollar.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 6
Looks like somebody has come to your rescue. If he or she hasn't yet, holer. Somebody nearby could take a huge load off your back and do so cheerfully. Don't whine, but don't suffer in silence, either.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is an 8.
Love and work are closely associated again today—and not as in "I love my work," although that may be the case. This is more like loving your co-worker. Got a mom-and-pop business? If not, give it some consideration. That might be thing.
ness? If not, give it some consideration. That might be the perfect thing.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 7.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22). Today is a 7
Plan a romantic surprise for your sweetheart tonight. Make it something that you hardly ever do. Keep it a secret till the last moment. That will make it even more fun.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 24).
It's another good day for getting rid of stuff. That goes for stuff at work as well as stuff at home.
Why? To make room for new stuff, of course.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is a 7
Lora Scofield 360
Keep studying. You're doing fine. The more you learn, the more quickly you'll advance. You're good with words, but that's not enough. You also need to know what you're talking about. Read the books. Surf the Web.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 7.
When you say it's time to pay up, the other guy knows you're not kidding. If you push a little, the money will come pouring in. It's a great time for you to make sales calls, too. You're irresistible.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 6
You're powerful and decisive, but what you're doing isn't easy. That's not going to stop you, of course. You're on a campaign to shine light on something that's been hidden, and you'll succeed.
Capricorn (Dec, 22-Jan. 19). Today is a 7.
Is your conscience bothering you or is it just time to make a change? Something's bugging you, so take action. One way or another, it'll get done.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.18). Today is a 6
Aquarius (Jan. 27)
You're pushing to get a big job done, even in the face of opposition. You don't care if everybody agrees with you; you're too busy.
The important people are on your side, so full speed ahead.
If you have a secret you've been keeping, be careful. It's liable to pop out. Is there something you're upset about but were afraid to mention? It might be difficult at first, but it if leads to a better understanding with

Game: Cyclones anticipate Jayhawks

Several Jayhawk players suggested that Iowa State's schedule has helped the program turn the corner.
"They got a lot of confidence from last year," said senior safety Brandon Wier. "They had a lot easier (Big 12) South games last year. Something like that helps a team. Winning is an attitude, but scheduling helps."
For the past two seasons, Iowa State has played Baylor, Oklahoma State and
Texas A&M from the South half of the conference. Those teams have combined for a 10-34 conference record in that span. Kansas' South opponents — Oklahoma, Texas and Texas Tech — have combined for a 33-11 record.
"This is the toughest conference in college football," McCarney said. "So I don't buy into anything that has to do with our schedule. We play some of the country's best teams every week."
McCarney said he
expected Kansas to be ready to play under interim coach Tom Hayes, who was a teammate of McCarney's at the University of Iowa.
"I've known him for a lot of years, and I know he's a great coach," McCarney said. "We know they're better than their record indicates."
Kansas, on the other hand, will look to play the role of spoiler.
"We don't like sitting on the bottom of the Big 12 North." Wiersaid. "We don't
have a lot of things, as far as bowl games, to play for, but we can play to keep them out."
Freshman Mario Kinsey will get the starting nod at quarterback for Kansas. Hayes has alternated all season between Kinsey and sohomore Zach Dyer.
Tomorrow's game begins at 11:30 a.m. at Memorial Stadium and will be televised on Fox SportsNet.

tice and is ready to get the season under way.
"It's a toss-up between Nikki and Kristin because they are both playing well," Washington said. "Whichever one I start, I'll probably start the other one in the second half until one of them begins to dominate."
White said she was encouraged by what she saw from her teammates in prac-
"I am really excited for this season," White said. "The newcomers have really stepped up and are working to fill the shoes of the seniors." Note:
Four players have signed national letters of intent to play at Kansas next year, including two in-state stand-outs.
Two players, Alicia Rhymes of Shreveport, La. and Aquaneta Burras, a transfer from Central Arizona Community College, signed with the Jayhawks yesterday.
Rhymes, 6-afoot forward,
was the Louisiana 2A state
player of the year as a junior.
Burras, a 5-9 guard, played
at Lathrop High School in
Fairbanks, Alaska.
Four others signed letters of intent Wednesday.
Crystal Kemp, a 6-2 forward from Topeka High School, chose Kansas instead of Iowa and was named to the Topeka All-City team last season while averaging 22.6 points. Ebony Haliburton, a 5-11 forward from St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Kansas City, Kan., averaged nine points for the 24-1 Kansas 6A state basketball championship队. Erica Hallman, a 5-8 guard from Covington Holmes High School in Covington, Ky., is a top contender for Miss Kentucky Basketball this season.

chose Kansas after considering Texas, Colorado, Rice and Missouri.
Washington said she was excited about this recruiting class.
"This is certainly one of the strongest classes at Kansas in the last couple of years and definitely one of the top classes in our conference," Washington said. "We will be young, but the future is bright."
