HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Feb. 19). Attend classes with friends this year and build up your skills. The expertise and discipline you acquire will be the key to your success. Be obedient in March to gain rewards in April. Friends tell you what to do in May, but you put in the effort. Home improvements tap your resources in June, but the results are delightful. A hunch leads you to true love in July. Schedule a romanticJAunt for November. Your skills and sense of humor are put to the test in December. Share stories of your exploits in January and get the recognition you've earned. In February go back over what worked — and what didn't — and streamline procedures.
To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easiest day, O the most challenging.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 6 —
You're a rather outspoken person most of the time,
but that's not a good idea now. You don't have to
tell the boss what you really feel. Just tell him or her
what you can do and when. Then scramble to do it
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 7 — A person who seemed like an adversary yesterday could turn into a good friend. You've had your disagreements in the past, and will again, but now you can compromise. This opens the way for something good to happen.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 6 — You may be burning to tell news you've recently heard. If so, chill out. It's better if others don't know that you know — or what you know. Don't let your expression give you away, either.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 6 — You and a special friend like to hang out together. You don't talk much, but that's OK. Just being together helps you work through your worries. Visit that person and let a puzzle you've been working on fall into place.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 7 —
You've got plenty of love, and that's good. Your energy level's low, though, and that's not so great.
You're facing a tough job and might not be feeling up to it. Rely on that love; it'll pull you through.
Virgo (Aug, 23-Sept. 22) — Today is an 8 — If you're not already in love with a beautiful for-eigner, watch out. It could happen before this day's through. If you're already in love with somebody like that, celebrate by planning a trip together.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22) — Today is a 6 —
A quiet day contemplating your next creative project would be wonderful. If you have another job to finish first, try to concentrate. Then get back into your fantasies as soon as possible.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is an 8 — Practice makes perfect, and that's your assignment. A thousand repetitions of a simple task will set it firmly in your subconscious, so you'll never have to think about it again.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 7 — Once you get your routine down, the work becomes habitual. Don't get distracted by a brilliant conversationist until after the work's done.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 6 — You like to do the research first, but you're getting pressed to take action. Something at your house needs fixing — and soon. Call to find the best deal on a replacement or ask a relative with more experience.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 7 — Shop for a special gift for a loved one or a child. If it's hard to tell this person how much you care, this thoughtful gesture might help. And besides, it'll be fun.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 7 — Listen to your friends, the ones who are telling you not to worry. Although your worries seem to make sense, they may be based on false logic. Besides, it's OK to be perfectly illogical if that's what it takes to stop worriving.

Singles play defeats Iowa
By Aaron Johnson
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas men's tennis team fought through a slow start against Iowa before emerging victorious yesterday afternoon at Alvamar Racquet Club, 4-3.
Kansas coach Ross Nwachukwu understood the importance of winning the match after losing to Minnesota Friday 5-2.
"It was definitely important to win the match," Nwachukwu said. "We started off slow but were able to dig ourselves out of the hole."
Earlier in the day, the Jayhawks (5-4) were unable to solidify the doubles point, losing two of three matches. Quentin Blakeney and Pete Stroer teamed up for the Jayhawks' lone doubles win as they defeated Iowa's Petar Mandic and Tom Bueltikofer, 8-6.
But the Jayhawks began their climb out of their hole with strong play in the singles portion of the match.
Eleazar Magallan led the strong singles play with a convincing win against Stuart Waters 6-3, 6-3 in the second singles slot.
"We didn't play as well as we could have at doubles," Magallan said. "But we played very well in singles and were able to win the important points."
Andrew Metzler was able to wrap up the match for the Jayhawks with a dominating performance against Iowa's David Freidj 6-2, 6-1 in the sixth singles match.
Blakeney and Stroer continued their strong play by beating their opponents in the third and fourth single positions.
Nwachukwu was impressed with the singles play but said the Jayhawks had room for improvement.
"Singles play was our strong point today," Nwachukwu said. "Our guys played well, but we need to work on doubles play and our fundamentals."
Nwachukwu also stressed the need to compete with pride.
"Our match against Minnesota gave us an opportunity to improve on our rankings, but our guys did not play with enough pride and intelligently enough," he said.
Rodrigo Echagary, the 'Hawks No. 1 singles player, understood Nwachukwu's comments.
"We stepped up today and played with pride," Echagary said. "Overall, the whole team played pretty well."
The Jayhawks will return to action on Friday when they travel to Philadelphia to face Pennsylvania.

Earnhardt dies in wreck at Daytona 500
The Associated Press
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Dale Erhardt, the seven-time Winston Cup champion and one of the most beloved stars in auto racing history, died yesterday from head injuries in a last-lap crash at the Daytona 500. He was 48.
Earnhardt, known as The Intimidator for his aggressive driving, had to be cut out of his car after slamming into the wall at about 180 mph on the final turn of the race while fighting for position.
He was taken to the hospital accompanied by his son, Dale Jr., an up-and-coming driver who finished second in the race. The elder Earnhardt's wife, Teresa, also was at the hospital.
"This is understandably the toughest announcement I've ever had to make. We've lost Dale
Earnhardt died instantly of head injuries, said Steve Bohannon, a doctor at Halifax Medical Center who also works at the track.
Earnhardt," NASCAR president Mike Helton said.
"There was nothing that could have been done for him," he said.
The accident happened a half-mile from the finish of the NASCAR season-opener. Earnhardt was third, slightly ahead of Sterling Marlin on the bottom of the high-banked fourth turn. As they fought for position, Earnhardt's car grazed Marlin's and turned sideways.
Earnhardt's car went up the banking and crashed into the wall at about 180 mph before being hit by Ken Schrader's car. Both cars slowly began to slide down to the bottom of the track as the rest of the field raced by.
"NASCAR has lost its greatest driver ever, and I personally have lost a great friend," NASCAR chairman Bill France Jr. said.
It was the second major wreck in five years in the race for Earnhardt. He flipped wildly on the backstretch near the end of the race in 1997 but was not seriously hurt. He came back to win the race the next year on his 20th try.
Earnhardt was the leader among active Winston Cup drivers with 76 career victories. He also had the most wins (34) at Daytona International Speedway, which lowered its huge American flag in the infield to half staff after the race.
The death made Michael Waltrip's victory virtually meaningless, as drivers mourned one of their greatest stars.
"I would rather be any place right this moment than here," Waltrip said. "It's so painful."
Track warms up for Big 12 Championship
The Kansas track and field team competed at the K-State Open Thursday and Friday. Inclement weather stopped some Jayhawks from making the trip to last weekend's Iowa State Indoor Invitational.
In the women's meet on Thursday, four Jayhawks won their events while four others posted top five finishes.
Senior Amanda Reves won the 800-meter race with a time of 21.68 seconds, and junior Katy Eisenmenger came out victorious in the 1,000-meter run (3:00.08). Senior All-American Andrea Branson notched another victory in the pole vault event with an 11-11 3/4 jump while freshman Lauren Browring placed first in the 3,000-meter event (10:52.74). Senior Ashley Pyle (pole vault), junior Jennifer Foster (shot put), senior Erika Hamel (long jump), and senior Emilia Aajayi (400 meter-dash) all recorded top five finishes.
Coach Stanley Redwine said he was pleased that several Jayhawks got the chance to compete in a meet the week before the Big 12 Championships.
Several members of the men's team finished strong in Manhattan Friday.
"It was another opportunity to give our athletes a chance to run their best," Redwine said.
The Jayhawks posted a 1-2 finish in the 60-meter hurdles event in which senior Eric Patterson (8.10) narrowly defeated sophomore Anson Jackson (8.29). Redwine said he was impressed with Patterson's and junior Armond Enclarde's (second in long jump-21-11 3/4) comebacks from injuries.
Senior All-American Scott Russell continued his dominance this weekend by winning the weight throw event with a toss of 73-5 1/2. Junior Jeremy Hull won the pole vault event by jumping 160 3/4.
Other Jayhawks that posted top five finishes include freshman Leo Bookman (60-meter dash), junior Dorian Jordan (400-meter dash) and junior Pete Prince (3,000 meters).
