UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Horoscopes
Today's Birthday (Feb. 9). Make imaginative plans for this year, beginning right now. Invest in something old in March. Romance is excellent in April, but you may want to wait until October to enter into a legal agreement. Choose a partner in August to build what you design. In October, send your manuscript to the publisher and/or travel to exotic lands. Give special special away in December. A scheme set in motion now could pay off next January.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You should be strong, eloquent and particularly good-looking today. Others will be awed by your wit, vocabulary and clarity of insight. So make sure you have all of your facts straight. Be kind to a studious person tonight. You may need that person's knowledge.
mation at home tonight.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The opposition could be gaining strength, and even your own advisers could be suggesting major concessions. There might be a way you can give up something you don't need anymore in order to get something better. Soak up infor-
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
There'll be a lot of wild talk banded about today. Your humorous insights can keep things in prospective. Don't let a domestic disagreement impair your objectivity. A group outing should go well, especially if it involves education.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
You may need to learn a few things so that you can adjust to a change that's underway. Trust your experience, too. If you're considering a major purchase, do a little more research first. A friend may be able to get you a better deal.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.18). Today, gather a bundle of other people's ideas and work them into your own plans. By the way, that includes the competitions, too. Build on the framework that's already in place. A drive would also be relaxing. Do something fun with a friend.
Pisses (Feb. 19-March 20).
You'll be plenty busy today.
There's a lot of stuff that has to be done before quitting time. Unfor-
tunely, a lot of it may be paperwork. Finish up your taxes tonight. You'll benefit emotionally and financially from having them out of the way.
Arles (March 21-April 19). A friend could come up with an excellent idea this morning. To get involved, you'll have to be willing to learn a new skill. If you can keep the peace with an authority figure, you may be able to achieve another goal. Don't get too riled up.
Taurus (April 20-May 20).
You may have to cover for a ditz today, so keep your eyes open. You don't want to get blamed for somebody else's mistake. Today should be good for working out a compromise between stubborn individuals. It's worth the effort, so give it a try. Do something with your colleagues this weekend.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). You and your friends may come up with a very imaginative solution to a tough problem today. Something that used to seem impossible has only become difficult. This evening's fabulous for love, stimulating conversations, and brilliant insights!
Cancer (June 22-July 22).
Check to make sure you're not spending more than necessary on a domestic item today. You want the finest, of course, but not at retail! Plan a soothing dinner, especially if you're entertaining guests. This will help if an argument breaks out.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22).
Although you should be fairly effective today, there are still problems to look for. Your worst critic could actually contribute to your cause. Romance should go well tonight. Stick with the truth and the whole truth. You'll get the same in return.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You are one of the few who can tell fantasy from reality. Mention it when you see it. Financial problems could stem from wanting something that's not practical. Be careful or you'll buy it anyway. Don't let a family member do that, either.
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and are for entertainment use only.

Hospital visit not in decathlete's plans
Evers hopes to visit championships as a player,not a fan
By Adam Herschman Kansan sportswriter
Two weeks before the Big Eight Outdoor Conference Championships last year, Kansas junior decathlete Mike Evers competed in one of the most successful meets of his life — on his GameBoy.
In a hospital gown, Evers played a track and field game last April in Lawrence Memorial Hospital after rupturing his spleen when his pole snapped in half on his last pole vault attempt in practice.
In a low point of his collegiate career, Evers had a choice: He could have sulked and felt sorry for himself or he could have looked ahead and focused on the end of this year and his remaining two seasons as a Jayhawk.
"I was going nuts," Evers said about playing track and field on the Gameboy. "On a Friday night I know all my friends are out, and I'm in a hospital bed playing Nintendo and I'm getting excited because I'm breaking my own records on this little thing."
"He dealt with it better than most athletes would ever deal with something like that," Hedrick said.
Hedrick said that Evers was favored to win the conference championship and that he already had qualified for the NCAA Outdoor Championships in the decathlon before his season abruptly ended.
"I'm not going to back away from any competition or anybody."
When Evers found out that he would be unable to compete in the two most important meets of the
Michael Evers Kansas junior decathlete
He chose the latter.
Two weeks later, Evers went to the Big Eight Championships to cheer for his teammates.
Kansas assistant coach Doug Hedrick said Evers kept a great attitude despite having to miss the championship meet.

season that he trained for all year, he had to call his coach.
"The hardest thing I had to do was call Doug up and tell him" it's over," Evers said. "I couldn't even talk."
Evers and Hedrick have developed a close friendship — as well as a good coach-athlete relationship since Evers arrived in Lawrence from Marrionette Park, Ill., in 1992;
The two are very competitive whether it's golf, shooting paper into the garbage can or track and field.
Hedrick was a two-time All-American decathlete in the middle 1980's at Tennessee and his best score of more than 7,600 in the decathlon is a mark that Evers wants to break for himself as well as his coach.
"His word is absolutely gold to me," said Evers, Kansas track and field captain. "He deserves 100 percent of my effort every time that I go on the track."
Despite owning the Kansas pentathlon record and being rated one of the top 25 decathletes in the country, Hedrick said he didn't know what to think of Evers at his first outdoor meet at the College Station Relays.
Twenty minutes before the meet after already sprinting, Evers' leg began to bother him.
Kansas Junior Michael Evers leaps over a hurdle during a recent practice. The Kansas track and field team will compete in Lincoln. Neb, this weekend.
"I said,". Forget it. You're competing, "Hedrick said." I said, "I don't care how fast you go through it, just run; go through this thing." As he went through the meet he started getting better and better.
"Four years later, he's become probably one of the strongest, mentally toughest athletes I've ever seen."
"There's nothing that's going to stop me." Evers said. "This is the only time of my life that I'll be able to train for a decathlon and be really serious about it. I'm not going to back away from any competition or anybody."
This year Evers will be looking at making his return to the Big Eight Outdoor Championship May 20 as a participant instead of a fan, and qualifying to the NCAA Outdoor Championships on May 30.
"There is no limit right now." Hedrick said. "If he has the goal, the desire, and the work ethic, his body is going to take him wherever his mind wants to go."
This weekend Evers and the rest of the Jayhawks will be competing in the Husker Invitational in Lincoln. Neb.
