happy I scored at conference. Making
it to nationals would be a great feeling
and could make an average season
into a great one."
Skipper's strategy
With his school record-breaking
clearance of 18 feet, 8 3/4 inches during
the indoor campaign, freshman pole
vaulter Tommy Skipper assured himself
a trip to the NCAA Championships.
With that in mind, the Sandy native
is looking to focus on improving his
technique during regionals, rather
than worry about coming up with a
top five mark.
"I'm just looking to work on my
technique, and I know people are get
ting tired of hearing that and I keep re
peating it," Skipper said, "but that's all
I'm trying to work on. When it all
comes together it's going to be a good
day because I've been working hard.
"Coach (Mark) Vanderville has
been working hard with us and it may
come together this week or it may
come together later."
Skipper won the Pac-10 pole vault
title 11 days ago with a clearance of
18-3 1/4. While his successes may
bring added intensity from his op
ponents, Skipper said he welcomes
the competition.
"I'm hoping those other guys who
are jumping against me want to beat
me as bad as I want to beat them,"
Skipper said. "There's some good
jumpers in the region and they're fully
capable of jumping 18-4 or 18-6, but
like I always say, I'm just going to go
out and compete as hard as I can for
myself and my teammates."

Horoscope by Linda C. Black
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (May 25).
Your lesson for this year has to do
with discipline. "Oh, goodie," you’re
probably saying to yourself. Actually,
goodies are what you'll get if you
learn this lesson well. You'll also
gain confidence, status and love, so
give it another try.
To get the advantage, check the
day's rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0
the most challenging.
Aries (March 21-April 19) _ Today
is a 10 _ Move boldly ahead with
your projects, whether those proj
ects are business or pleasure. You
have the opportunities and plenty of
good sense. Make a deal that's
profitable and fun.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) _ Today is
a 6 _ Allow yourself time to think
about your next big decision. You'll
have to live with it for a long time.
Relax and make it a good one.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) _ Today
is an 8 _ Focus! There's something
you must remember, and you
haven't even heard it yet. It'll make
you feel a whole lot better about
yourself, so listen carefully.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) _ Today
is a 5 _ You're in the habit of being
nice even when you don't feel like it.
It's a natural thing for you, and it's a
blessing. An old act of kindness
brings new rewards.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) _ Today is a
9 _ Your enthusiasm inspires others
to give it one more try. You can be a
great coach when you believe in a
project. And if this one didn't fit into
that category, you never would have
taken it on
Virgo (Aug 23-Sept. 22) _ Today is
a 8 If s not a good time to suggest
expansion or investigate new
options. It’s a good time to finish
what you've already started. If you
cant remember what that is, some
body will remind you.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) _ Today is
a 9 _ If you have things organized,
you'll accomplish a lot in the next
few hours. If you don't, you'll get the
opportunity to revise your agenda in
the midst of chaos. Managing the
chaos to produce results is your
objective, remember?
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) _ Today
is a 6 _ Your talent lies in planning
and making sure that everyone fol
lows through. Offer that to a person
who has good leadership and
charisma but lacks the patience to
work out the details. You’ll become
indispensable.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) _
Today is an 8 _ You and your part
ner should really go together if you
can. It's worth the extra trouble. If
not for the entire day, can you at
least do lunch? It would mean a lot.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) _
Today is a 6 _ As you go out on
your shopping trip, keep one or two
things in mind. You want to get top
quality, and you want to pay pen
nies on the dollar. A little damage
would be OK if It's something you
can fix. Nobody needs to know.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) _ Today
is a 7 _ The kind of love that's
favored today is the solid, depend
able kind. It might be between
lovers, but it can also be between
friends. It's a bond you know you
can depend upon. If you have love
like that, celebrate.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) _ Today
is a 7 _ You might occasionally won
der if you're doing the project right,
since it’s hard to remember what
you've been told when you have a
hammer in your hand. This is an
open-book test, by the way, so go
back to the text if you must.
