In addition, Udall has shown a strong commitment to values that every Ram can agree with. Udall has expressed support for ballot initiatives such as Amendments 58 and 59, both of which will result in additional funds for higher education in Colorado. Also, when it comes to environmental issues, his record can’t be beat. Udall has received a near perfect rating from the League of Conservation Voters for his entire tenure as U.S. Representative for Colorado District Two and has in- troduced several laws on the federal level in support of sus- tainable alternative energy exploration. When it comes to green candidates, the “green” univer- sity couldn’t ask for better. So when you hit the polls Tues- day, make the right choice. Vote Mark Udall for U.S. Senate.

The Last Word in Astrology by Eugenia Last

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Use your Aries wit, charm and intuitive insight to see what others want and what they can do for you in return. Fast action will help you take over and suc- ceed while hard work will ensure a bright and secure future. 5 stars TAURUS Andrew Woods Andrew (April 20-May 20): Someone you least expect will be quick to respond to your questions, offers and requests. Don’t be afraid to ask for a little more than you need. Taking on something a little unusual will bring about a greater demand. Repete/Delete 3 stars GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Emotional encounters will bring about some interesting conclusions that you may not have re- alized in the past. Don’t make decisions based on career or a position being offered if it will mean giving up a relationship vital to your well-being. 3 stars CANCER (June 21-July 22): Tie up loose ends and prepare to get into a party mood. The people you meet through the activi- ties will change your outlook and your attitude toward work, money and what life is all about. 3 stars LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You owe it to yourself to relax. Set up an appointment to be pampered or to get together with friends. Love is in a high cycle and emotional matters can be

Fun-ology VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t give in to someone who is giving you an ultimatum. A close friend or relative will encour- age you to do what’s right and best for you. Be open to some- thing new and expect a change of heart. 2 stars LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Go to new places that offer in- spiration and motivation. Attend a seminar, tradeshow or an activity that will educate you in ways you can’t imagine. A pro- fessional change may get you thinking about a home-based business. 4 stars SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Incorporate something different into your everyday routine. Boredom will stifle your creativity and cause you to lose confidence in your own talent. Pick up where you left off and it won’t be long before you regain your skills and feel good about the future. 3 stars SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll be emotionally

Dave Myers Myers Dave stressed out if you allow someone to disrupt your plans. Follow through with what you have on your agenda, even if you have to go it alone. It may be time to rid yourself of someone who is Pex & Solly Pex always letting you down. 3 stars CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You won’t see things too clearly and this can lead to a falling out with someone you’ve relied on in the past. Expect things to change quite abruptly if you aren’t prepared to give in a little. 3 stars AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You will discover something that you enjoy doing. Take a little time to develop a plan that will allow you to incorporate your new skill with a moneymak- ing venture. Don’t let anyone discourage you. 4 stars PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A sudden change of plans will leave you reeling. Don’t give in to what someone else insists on, if it will slow you down or cause you loss. Concentrate on pushing your way to the top. 2 stars PJ Spokas PJ Wear Am I?
