HOROSCOPES
Aries: Today is a 6.
You may find yourself in an uncharacteristically pensive mood. Don't despair. You've studied some problems during the past week, not the least of which could be the possibility of taking on a partner. Hey, relax. It won't be all that scary.
Taurus: Today is a 6.
Focus on paperwork today. You don't want to make an agreement that you'll regret later. Read everything carefully before you sign it. Although it may look good on the surface, you might need to know about something in the fine print.
Gemini: Today is a 7.
Cancer: Today is a 7.
You might feel a little feisty today. Just remember to stay in good taste at all times. That will take a bit of concentration because your natural tendency is to get a little risque. Wait for the right time and place.
Conditions for travel are pretty good now, especially if you're going to visit an older relative. Do a little work when you get there, and you'll make an even better impression.
Leo: Today is a 6.
You may be a burr in an older person's side today. That's OK. It's time you knew what's been going on. Keep asking questions, tough ones, at that. See if you can find out where the money's been going while you're at it. Especially your money.
Virgo: Today is a 7.
It's definitely a good day to buy household items, but it's also a good day to travel. How will you manage to do both? With careful planning, of course. That way, you won't have to spend much time headed in the wrong direction.
Libra: Today is a 7.
Scorpio: Today is a 6.
It's almost the weekend, but not quite. A massive pile of stuff still needs your full attention. It may need some of your creativity, too. It's a challenge, but don't worry. It all turns out well.
Saqittarius: Today is a 5.
Capricorn: Today is a 7.
Your sweetheart needs a little more of your attention. Make sure that happens, even if it means you have to schedule some work during the weekend. Right now it looks like the prevailing mood is a strong tendency to cuddle. Find a place where you won't be disturbed.
Aquarius: Today is a 6.
Are you worn out, tired, maybe a little sniffly? If so, just take it nice and easy as much as possible today. Things are changing for the better, but you still may have to recuperate from the past few weeks. Rest up tonight, and you can have plenty of fun tomorrow.
You have all sorts of dreams, like becoming fab
uously wealthy and providing well for your loved
ones. You might make those dreams come true.
You know how? Through persistence — by finding
out what's required and by doing it. You
make it look like fun. Enjoy.
Right there is where you'd like to be. Right here is where you are. This situation could be stressful.
"Oh, goody!" you're probably saying to yourself. That's because you know you get more creative when the heat's on. Keep a pad and pencil nearby.
Pisces: Today is a 7.
You're powerful but encountering opposition. You may be right, but that doesn't mean everybody will listen or do what you suggest. They may wish later that they had, but some of them are in the mood to argue. Be compassionate. That will make you look even better.
KANSAS ULTIMATE HorrorZontals plan for home-turf games

"There are some teams that have more experience than us," he said.
"But we should have a winning record."
Will Spotts, Lawrence graduate student and HorrorZontals member, said he thought the team was better than about 70 percent of the competitors.
Spotts said he hoped the tour-
ment would be a good opportunity
for the first timers to get some
experience and learn to work as a team.
He also said anyone interested in
ultimate frisbee was encouraged to
attend.
This is the first tournament the club has participated in this year.

Miami-Haiti exhibition ended because of riot
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - An exhibition between the Miami Fusion and the Haitian national team was suspended abruptly after a referee's call against Haiti angered many fans, who then trashed the field.

"Most of all, I'm happy Cleveland got a team back," said Stover, who holds several Browns records. "That city deserves a football team. It will fun to see the Browns out on the field, but I have to go out there and kick my field goals, even if it is against my old team."
The expansion Brown's, who have been outscored 69-9 in their two losses, probably won't win too many games this season. Their fans understand. But that doesn't undermine their interest in this game, and more importantly, the rematch in Cleveland on Nov. 7.

BALDWIN CITY — During a ceremony that has honored such celebrities as former president Gerald Ford and Lady Margaret Thatcher, Kansas men's basketball coach Roy Williams shared experiences in his life that have made him a good coach and a good teacher.
