Todav's Birthday (Feb. 12)
This year, put down roots. May is good for romantic commitment, fixing up your house and buying real estate. In August, go back to an arrangement that worked before. Take the vacation of your dreams in September. Complete a big project in December so you can start a new one in January. Get married early next February.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Today is a 7.
Group activities are favored, but don't let them interfere with a romantic commitment. Don't spend too much money on them, either. If you can come to an agreement by this afternoon, you will have a solid base to build upon.
Today is a 5.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
You're sharp, but that doesn't mean you're unopposed. There are powerful people who don't see eye to eye with you. You can convince them to see the wisdom of your ways, but it will take patience.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Tuesday
Your mind is full of dreams of faraway places. Don't be put off by the apparent impossibility of it all. Instead, contact a foreign friend. The barrier that's keeping you from going now is the key to your success.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
This is a good day to spend with friends,
HOROSCOPES
clutter in a social or a business setting. You will get tons accomplished, especially if you set a deadline. Try new technology to improve your earning.
Expect opposition every step of the way today. That's good. It will make you think harder and work out some of the bugs before you get any further into your project.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Today is a 5.
If you didn't have so much work, you'd love to take a long drive with a dear friend. Unfortunately, you're swamped. Responsibilities could keep you jumping until almost dark. Don't complain — this is increasing your wealth considerably.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
Today is an 8.
Romance looks good, but there are other things to occupy your mind. Financial hassles will get worse if you don't deal with them. Your income taxes won't do themselves, so at least get the information to the CPA. After that's done, play.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21) Today is a 6.
If you can get one other powerful person to go along with your ideas, you could win. Do that, be sure the person will make money. That's the kind of challenge you love. Speaking of love, it's best around dinnertime.
Give work your full attention — that's the only way you'll make good on a promise. Read about a subject that interests you tonight. You will find the answer you're seeking if you're not patient.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Capricorn (Dec. Today is a 4
today is an 8.
You may feel like buying something you can't afford. Don't abandon the idea, but don't go into debt. Don't take a big risk, it's more likely to pay off for the other side.
LETTERS
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.18)
Today is an 8.
This is a good day to make a decision concerning your home, career or both. For example, you might enjoy working from your spare bedroom instead of driving to the office. Offer the boss a big savings and you may get to try it out.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Today is a 6.
It might be difficult to express yourself with words. Show your love through your deeds instead. That, and one perfect rose, ought to melt a heart of ice. Also, finish paperwork regarding health care or taxes.
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment only.
This letter is in response to the column written by Spencer Duncan. With the $6 increase in the student sports combo package, the University of Kansas is the second best in the Big XII solely based on price. Duncan and others need to understand what they are paying for: the opportunity to see the No. 1 men's basketball team and a competitive football program. In addition, each of us has the opportunity to witness top-15 women's basketball, top-10 tennis, and top-25 swimming. By paying $6 more to help defray the $35 million cost, each student is guaranteed tickets to all home games. This is in contrast to other programs such as Indiana and Duke men's basketball and Texas football.
Division I Intercollegiate Athletics is a business and generates a great amount of revenue. Duncan should broaden his scope as did David Ambler, vice chancellor of student affairs, in Thursday's Kansan, "... In order to have the kind of intercollegiate program we want, we're going to have to pay for it."
Once again, the Kansan's lack of research is unjustly put to print. Duncan needs to do the research that we have done. It involves the use of a telephone to call the ticket offices of other Big XII schools. He then will see the excellent opportunities afforded to students at our university. Our time and efforts are better spent supporting the University and its athletic program instead of defending it.

American opens Paris tourney with strong win
PARIS — Mary Pierce won her first-round match at the Paris Women's Open yesterday in sharp contrast to the way she was eliminated from the tournament last year.
Pierce defeated Sweden's Asa Carlsson 6-2, 6-3. Last year, playing with a bad back and not making much of an effort on many shots, Pierce lost a first-round match and was whistled and jeered off the court.
This year, she is full of confidence after reaching the Australian Open final and climbing back to the No. 12 spot in the world rankings after she had dropped to No. 22.
In a first-round matchup, Silvia Farina of Italy beat Katarina Studenikova of Slovakia 3-1, 6-6. 3-1.
In other matches, Kristie Boogert of the Netherlands rallied to beat Sandrine Testud of France 0-6, 6-1, 7-6 (7-2); fifth-seeded Irina Spirlea of Romania toped Yelena Likhovtseva of Russia 4-6, 7-5, and Adrian Geris of Czech Republic defeated Germany's Andrea Glass 7-5, 6-0.
Gersi, a qualifier, is Pierce's next opponent.
The tournament carries a purse of $480,000.
