Dancesand Valentine'sDay Take Weekend Spotlight
Saint Valentine must have been a killer diller to have started such a fine thing as a day of festivity expressly for the purpose of letting romancers do their romancing. And tomorrow is that special day.
But along with the romancing and lover's sweet remembrances tomorrow, couples can make a merry time of it tonight and Saturday at the Stamp Stomp and Sports Varsity in the ballroom of the Memorial Union building.

Cupid Bows to Defense
Paineville, O., (UP)—Instead of exchanging Valentine's Day cards as they have done in the past, boys and girls of McKinley school will contribute the money usually spent for romantic sentiments towards purchase of a defense bond.
Stillwater, Okla., (UP)—Oklahoma A. and M. students have inaugurated "Defense Stamp dates." The boy buys two 25 cent stamps instead of tickets to a movie. The girl keeps one as a souvenir of the date. Seven campus stations take in about $500 a week.

Valentines Tomorrow
Or
Fellows, you ought to have learned by now that you let your best girl down on Valentine's Day.
Tomorrow she'll be waiting on the door step for the mail man, telegraph boy, flower trucks or what not and if you forget her—wow!—you might as well forget her for good. Of course, if she had been on her toes she would have sent you a valentine Thursday as a gentle reminder
Now you may think that Valentine's Day and the rest that goes with it is a lot of foolishness, but it is all a custom that has long prevailed. Even the Romans paid tribute to the lover's festival. The young men and women drew lots to see which would be each other's
A Valentine remembrance is pretty certain to bring good results and if you can make your gift a little different or something special there will be star dust in her eyes and her glance will have more of the meaning you've been wanting.
But if nothing else seems right and you are fairly certain that there is a slight tendency in your favor from the girl in question put a big red bow around your neck and no doubt the effect will be marvelous and the results immediate.
The old traditionals—candy, flowers, or a card will always fill the bill. But a record with a special meaning or some odd nick-nack that she liked in a display window would be doing the thing up right. You could make it really exciting for her with a telephone call every hour, special messages and a day filled with surprises. Or if you are clever with a pen, you could write her a letter that she will keep forever and tied in a blue ribbon.
With a limited income you can't do the best by her, but there are one cent valentines that can be a revelation (don't waste your penny on the comic ones).
"valentine" during the ensuing year. The couples then exchanged gifts and in some cases were regarded as engaged.
So praise Allah, that this part of the custom is no longer in practice and be glad that today you are allowed to pick the gal as well as the gift.
