2B = THEUNIVERSITYDAILYKANSAN SPORTS WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 2002 HOROSCOPES Today's Birthday (Oct. 16). Todays birthday (Oct. 16). A new assignment in the spring helps pay off holiday bills, but it limits your time for travel. Be frugal all year in order to minimize discomfort, but don't postpone pleasure. Play first, work later. Artes (March 21-April 19). Today is a 7. Feeling a little pensive? Less confident than usual? This is natural. Mull over the news you recently received and review your plans for this weekend. Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 6. Don't be afraid to use your imagination. There's nobody on Earth exactly like you, so it figures that nobody else can come up with your ideas. Write them down and share them. Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is an 8. More listening is required in order to get your meaning across. No, it's not the other person who needs to pay attention; it's you. Do it and you'll be amazed. Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 7. It may seem as if there's way too much conversation going on. And you're right because the most important messages are being sent without the words. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 6. You're excellent at getting what you want, even when others think you can't. But don't get over exuberant this time. The naysayer is right. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 7.

More study will be useful in solving a technical problem. Or you can simply hire somebody to come fix it. What do you have more of, time or money? Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.18). Today is an 8. Festivities may be interrupted by a practical need. Like, for example, doing whatever it is that you do to pay the rent. Don't forget! Got a new tip? Call 864-4810 Women's golffinishes third Senior Rose leads team with seventh-place finish The Kansas women's golf team tied for third place at the Marilynn Smith Sunflower Invitational with a third-round score of 312 (25-over-par). It was the team's best finish of the season, and the Jayhawks' three-round total of 924 (60-over-par) was also a season best. Even with the top-three finish, Kansas coach Megan Menzel said she didn't think the team had played up to its potential after the team's nine-stroke drop from Monday's second round at the par-72 Willowbend Golf Club in Wichita. "We did not play our best today, but we played well enough." coach Megan Menzel said. "It was very windy today. I think that we struggled in the four spot but we managed to do a bit better than some of the other teams." Kansas senior Heather Rose finished in seventh place with a three-round total of 226 (10-over-par), which was a career best. Jennifer Bawanan also carded a career-low score for three rounds. The "Jennifer and Heather had their best tournaments ever and I feel that we are continually improving," Menzel said. "All of the girls are starting to play solid for us." Competing as an individual, senior Kristy Straub shot a season-best 237 (+21) and tied for 38th. Freshman Chelsey Pryor tied for 47th with a total of 239 (+23), and freshman Kendall Schwerman tied for 68th with a 247 (+31) as an individual. Tiffany Kruggell finished the Jayhawks scorecard with a three-round total of 248 (+32), trying for 71st. junior shot a 12-over-par 228, finishing in eighth place. Senior Jill MacDonald finished in a tie for 20th place with a season-best total of 231. Kansas State won the tournament with a total of 903 (+59), and Randi Gauthier of North Texas won the individual title with a total of 222 (+6). Gauthier won a playoff with Christine Boucher of Kansas State. The Jayhawks' final tournament of the fall will be the Rainbow Wahine Invitational, Oct. 29-30 in Honolulu. Kansan staff report Nebraska quarterback faces charges The Associated Press LINCOLN, Neb. — Nebraska quarterback Jammal Lord will start Saturday at Oklahoma State despite being charged yesterday with disturbing the peace. Coach Frank Solich said yesterday that Lord would be disciplined, but the misdemeanor ticket did not warrant any sort of suspension. Nebraska volleyball and basketball player Greichaly Cepero, who was at Lord's apartment when police were called to it about 3 a.m. Sunday, was cited with disturbing the peace and failure to obey a police order. "I know that Jammal was issued one ticket. There was cooperation from that point on to my knowledge," Solich said. "The system that we have in place and probably most systems around the country would not kick a young man out of playing or a starting role." City prosecutor John McQuinn said charges were filed against both athletes yesterday. Cepero was also charged with failing to obey a police order. The charges are misdemeanors with maximum fines of $500 and up to six months in jail. Police said Cepero, who had asked officers to take her home, later grabbed at officers' arms and pushed one officer away from Lord. Volleyball coach John Cook announced yesterday that Cepero would not play Wednesday night when the Cornhuskers play at Oklahoma. "Right now we are learning lessons that have nothing to do with winning and losing," Cook said. "This is about being responsible and upholding the values of Nebraska volleyball." Cepero, voted the American Volleyball Coaches Association Division I Player of the Year after leading the Huskers to the 2000 national championship, has missed just one match in her career. Cook said Cepero would be entering a diversion program to take care of her legal problems. The tickets were issued hours after Lord led Nebraska (5-2) to a 24-13 win over Missouri and Cepero and the Huskers beat Iowa State 3-0. The players, who are both 21, spent the rest of the night in a detoxification center but were not cited with any alcohol-related offenses. Both Cook and Solich were clearly concerned that alcohol was involved for two players during the season. "I did talk to our team as a whole yesterday about alcohol in general and the problems that exist," Solich said. "It seems like a good share of those come from the use of alcohol. It's a problem that's on every campus in this country." Lord has not spoken with reporters for three weeks. He had five turnovers in consecutive losses to Penn State and Iowa State and was on the verge of losing his starting job, but appeared to be back on track by leading the Huskers past McNeese State and Missouri. His legal problems aren't likely to get him to open up again any time soon. "Any time I've seen a player that has been involved in any type of incident that reflects badly on himself and on the program, they have all taken that to heart." Solich said. "Certainly Jammal has also done the same." FOOTBALL Broncos' Kennedy suspended for committing injury foul against Miami's Chambers DENVER—Broncos' strong safety Kenoy Kennedy was suspended by the NFL for one game without pay yesterday for his helmet-to-helmet hit on Miami receiver Chris Chambers. Chambers got a concussion when he went up high for a pass and was hit in the face by Kennedy. Kennedy was flagged for a personal foul and tried to apologize to Chambers as he walked off the field, but he was pushed back by Miami's Randy McMichael. The league warned Kennedy that future hits similar to the one on McCraary could lead to a suspension. Kennedy has already been fined twice this season and received a warning from the league last week. The Associated Press POLL Who should be the "sixth man" for the Kansas men's basketball team?
