HOROSCOPES
Aries (March 21-April 19) There’s an
opportunity to make a profit if you
can keep from being distracted. It’s a
complicated task, and you’ll have to
give it your full attention. If you
don’t, you could make a mess and have to do it
over. Unfortunately, your irreverent buddies
keep popping in and making you laugh. Maybe
you could pay them to leave you alone for a
while.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) Take it
I 111 i slow and easy just a little while
yw J longer. Somebody, an authority figure
most likely, wants to order you
around. You don’t seem to have much to say
about it, but that sure doesn’t keep you from
thinking! Better keep a lid on that, too. Be
cheerful. They can tell.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) A business
4 y ( j associate could be in a rather snakey
Vfc// mood today, so watch out. He or she
could be jealous because you’re hav
ing all the fun. You’ll have other barriers to get
past on your way to fame and fortune. This is a
relatively minor one. If it’s the one you’re up
>w, ask a friend to help.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) You may
think you want to buy an expensive
toy today, but that’s actually not a
good idea. You know you ought to put
the money into savings instead, but
gosh, that’s no fun. Besides, you hardly ever
want expensive toys or anything for yourself.
Everything’s always for the family. You know
what? If you save up, you can pay cash and get
a discount!
□ Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) It might feel
like everybody’s chipping at you
today. Oh well, you ought to be used
to that by now. It’s the price you pay
for drawing a lot of attention to your
self. You can’t help that, either. You’re just nat
urally attractive! Today, you might wish that
opposites would attract. If you’re
nice, you might make it happen.
□Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) There’s
something you need to learn to do
your job better. Once you get this
skill mastered, something that takes
hours now will take only minutes. Trouble is,
learning it could take days! Well, it’ll never
happen if you don’t get started. Today, you
should be able to identify exactly what it is,
and that’s a good beginning.
t «
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Arguments
can upset you, but you try not to let
it show. That might be why you’re so
willing to compromise. Today, you
may wish everybody felt the same
way. Some of them seem ready to lose every
thing, rather than admit they’re wrong. Well,
Maybe you’ll get further with those folks if you
acknowledge them for what they’re doing right.
That might help them let go.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21 You may
feel like you’re watching a ping pong
game today, or a world class tennis
match. First one side has the
advantage, and then the other. Which is more
likely to look out for your interests? Even if it’s
a person you don’t like much, he or she’s the
one you should support. Look for the long term
gain, not just the immediate gratification.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You’re
learning something new every day.
And if you’re smart, which you are,
you’re doing it as fast as you can.
Don’t just listen to what people tell
you now. If you still want to find the real truth,
or the real facts of what really happened, you’ll
have to dig into the past. Don’t believe every
thing you find there, either. Two independent
sources, remember?
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You may
rAhave to defend yourself today, or the
JUV j things you believe in. There’s some
pretty harsh language being tossed
around out there. You should be
almost used to it by now. It’s been going on for
weeks. You know, you don’t really have to say a
thing to prove your point. Let your actions
speak for you. They’re supposed to be louder
than words, anyway.
AquaNUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Somebody
at home could give you a rough time
today. Then your partner doesn’t
want to do things the way you’ve
planned. Then somebody else puts in
their two cents’ worth. Everybody’s got an opin
ion. Isn’t it amazing, how all of them can be
wrong? How do they do that? Be gentle, but
firm.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Somebody’s leaning on you to do
something, or to act a certain way.
They’re distracted, though. It’s like
you’re playing a game of Hearts, and the two
other players are so busy trying to figure out
what the other one will do, they’ve forgotten all
about you. You could trump them both. You’ll
have an even better chance tomorrow.

PREREQUISITE: ADRENALINE
Drive. Intensity. Those aren’t
words you're likely to see in many
course requirements. Then again
Army ROTC is unlike any other
elective. It’s hands-on excite
ment. ROTC will challenge you
mentally and physically
through intense leadership
training. Training that builds
your character, confidence and
decision-making skills. Again,
words other courses seldom use.
But they’re the credits you need to
succeed in life. ROTC is open to
freshmen and sophomores with
out obligation and requires
about five hours per week. Reg
ister this term for Army ROTC.
