Holiday prompts labor of love

The day of red hearts, chocolate candy and red roses meant a hectic day for hall desk assistants.
Valentine's Day gifts swamped residence halls yesterday, transforming the lobbies into miniature flower shops.
The entrances of halls were filled with residents scrambling to get to their mailboxes. Residents hurriedly opened greeting cards and rushed to the desks to claim packages or flowers.
Gertrude Sellars Pearson and Corbin halls received three to four times as much mail yesterday as they usually receive, Beverly Finger, GSP desk assistant and Rozel freshman, said yesterday.
USUALLY THE MAIL is placed in residents' boxes by 10 a.m., but yesterday it wasn't finished by noon, she said.
"It's kind of nerve-wracking, but it's neat to see how excites the girl when they get something." Finger said. "Sometimes they get
push, though, and don't want to wait.
She said all packages and flowers for GSP and Corbin were delivered to GSP because Corbin didn't have the storage space that GSP had.
GSP had two extra desk assistants working at each shift from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. yesterday, Finger said.
Flower shops also used extra workers to meet the Valentine's Day demand.
Stuart Harwood, a deliverer for University Floral, 2103 W. 28th Terr., said he and about five others had been hired just for yesterday's onslaught.
HE SAID HE had delivered 60 flowers and plants in the morning and would be delivering many more in the afternoon on campus and around Lawrence.
Despite the hectic pace, Harwood said he enjoyed delivering flowers.
"I personally send a lot of flowers," he said. "It's fun to watch people's reaction. Some reaction is disbelief; some is squalls of joy."
Jean Hawk, Gladstone, Mo., junior, reacted with disbelief when she received a package from her grandparents.
"I was very pleasantly surprised," Hawk said. "It makes my day, I also enjoy seeing other people get flowers, and I enjoy giving things."
freshman, received two bouquets, but she wasn't expecting them, she said.
"You kind of always hope for it," St. John said.
DENISE KNOX, LARNED freshman, said she was making heart-shaped sugar cookies topped with red sugar for her boyfriend. She said she and her boyfriend would exchange gifts after she made the cookies.
"I have no clue what he's getting me and my curiosity is about to kill me," Knox said.
She said she thought Valentine's Day was a rosy — not a depressing— time of year.
Suellen St. John, Golden, Colo.
"It's a special time in the year when everyone can show the one they love how much they appreciate them." Knox said.
Kate Barron, desk assistant at Oliver Hall and Lincoln, Neb. sophomore, said the hall had handled 10 times the usual number of packages, letters and flowers yesterday.
Most of the flowers were for women, she said, but just as many men received packages as women.
In spite of the heavier workload, Barron said she enjoyed working on Valentine's Day.
"It's fun having all these flowers on the desk," she said. "I feel like a florist. It's really fun seeing people get flowers, because it's fun to see their reaction."

The University Senate Executive Committee yesterday amended proposals by a senate committee intended to increase participation at University Senate meetings.
SenEx amends participation proposals
The Senate comprises administrators and the Faculty and Student Senates, about 1,250. The Senate, which has been plagued with low standards of performance, student senators call for a meeting to discuss special University business.
SenEx amended proposals by the University Council Committee on Organization and Administration to increase participation in Senate meetings by lowering the quorum, the number of senators needed for a vote. The new proposals would lower the quorum from 20 to 10 percent, about 125 members of the total Senate.
All faculty are members of the Faculty Senate. The Student Senate is composed of 65 students.
SENEX ALSO PROPOSED
amending the number of senators
needed for a mail ballot. Currently,
only one third of the number of
senators who attend Senate meetings
can call for a mail ballot. Under the

A mail ballot allows senators to vote on issues if they don't attend Senate meetings.
Decreasing the quorum and increasing the number of votes needed to call for a mail ballot are an attempt by SenEx to rectify the number of participation in Senate meetings, said Robert Friar, SenEx member.
The SenEx proposals will be sent back to the organization and administration committee to correct any inconsistencies between the new proposals and the University code. The code regulates University governance.
BETTY BANKS, SENEX secretary, said she thought the last time a Senate meeting had a quorum was in 1871 when senators met to discuss such campus problems as the burning of the Kansas Union.
Chris Coffelt, SenEx vice chairman and student senator, said most faculty members didn't know they belonged to the Senate.
"There are more than 90 percent of
