THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 2
VALENTINE'S DAY GIFT GUIDE

Welcome to The University Daily Kansan's first special section of the semester, in honor of the one and only Valentine's Day. At this point in our lives, as college students, this holiday may be the most passively controversial of the year — our annual opinions of it depend almost entirely on whether we're involved in a relationship.
So rather than write sappy articles geared toward just the students who have a significant other, we thought we'd offer a helping hand and make suggestions to let you spend the day in your own style: romantic or prosaic; expensive or cheap; happy or brooding. The following pages will make this year's Feb. 14 a great day for us all one to remember. Do I give this section too much credit? Maybe. But here's to hoping.
Crawford is a Moundridge senior in journalism. She is special sections editor.
This special section was written and edited entirely by the Kansan's wonderful correspondent writers and copy editors. If you would like to be a part of the action and see your name in print, contact Janette Crawford at jcrawford@kansan.com or Matt Rodriguez at mrodriguez@kansan.com.
