IT'S THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTS
Roses, chocolates, sugar cookies,
daisies, Hallmark cards, baby's breath.
Cupid strikes again. Or does he?
While these sweet nothings symbolize different things to different people, women and men often clash as to the meaning of Valentine's Day.
Whether it's tools or flowers, Valentine's Day gifts, goodies must come from the heart
"I wouldn't want to make a blanket statement," says Joel Ashmore, Lawrence senior, "But If some women don't get a dozen roses, they feel let down. Valentine's Day is not that important unless you have somebody special to spend it with."
Tray Batson, Starkville, Miss., senior says, "It really depends on the people. A lot of people expect a gift. Men think they have to buy something. It's pushed and promoted that way to further the myth."
Batson says his most romantic Valentine's Day lasted an entire week because his girlfriend brought him a bouquet of wildflowers every day.
"I'm rebellious," says David Moore, Kansas City, Kan., senior. "I don't like to do what people tell me to do."
Some men would rather do romantic things on other days besides Valentine's Day.
He says that on one instance he filled the house with lit candles and ordered Chinese food for himself and his girlfriend. He ended the night with
Tyson Miller, Paola junior, says women liked more romantic gifts while men preferred more practical gifts, such as tool sets.
a special homemade ice-cream dessert.
"Sometimes they (men) try to be romantic, but it backfires," Miller says. "Sometimes it's just not in their nature. It's not that we don't try. It's just that things don't work out the way we perceive they will. Last Valentine's Day we got a hotel room, went out to eat — the whole works. It was just too much pressure to have a good time. So this year, we're going to sit back and relax."
For women, it's the thought that counts.
"It shows that you want to do something nice for someone — that is, when you're not forced to do it," says April Bittner, Dallas senior. "Women expect it to be something from the heart, something sincere. More times than not, it's forced on men. It's so commercialized now. The second Christmas stuff goes down, Valentine's Davandy goes up."
Erin Glaser, St. Louis senior, says she agreed with Bittner.
"I think Valentine's Day is a product of flower shops and card shops," she says. "I think men kind of dread it because they know that women love it so much."
Bob Scheibler, Gardner resident, arranges roses in the workroom of Englewood Florist, 939 Massachusetts. Scheibler said he was helping out during the busy season because he knew the owners of the shop.

National Condom Week February 14-21
Valentine's Day (Feb. 14)—a good day to begin an important week and to show concern for your sweetheart and yourself. Everyday—abstinence is the surest way to prevent STDs (including HIV) and pregnancy. But if you decide to have intercourse—use a latex condom and nonoxynol-9 spermicide every time. Communication can help to reduce the incidence of STDs and unplanned pregnancy. And remember that alcohol and other drug use is strongly associated with failure to use preventive measures.
Use your condom sense1 Condoms are available at Watkins Pharmacy—3 for $50.
