Public airs views on S. African rule
Their styles were different but their messages were the same: KU students and faculty are concerned about the situation in South Africa.
The University Senate Human Relations Committee conducted the first round of public hearings on South Africa last night in the Jayhawk Room of the Kansas Union.
By Tim Hrenchir
The committee heard statements from eight groups and individuals. The hearings continue tonight with nine speakers scheduled to present their views.

The South African government follows a policy of apartheid, which is legalized racial segregation.
Chris Bunker, Shawnee third-year law student and president of the KU Committee on South Africa, told the human relations committee that his committee was frustrated with the
lack of communication with the Kansas University Endowment Association.
In the past year, some students and faculty members have protested the Endowment Association's ties to companies that do business in South Africa.
"We've sat in, we've protested, we've educated, we've worked politically," Bunker said. "At this point, I don't know what else we can do.

"This is the kind of issue that really sets people on fire. There is nothing more obvious than apartheid is the worstest thing you've ever seen."
bunker suggested the University take legal action to prove that the Endowment Association is not a separate entity from the University. Therefore, he said, the Endowment Association would be forced to abide by the wishes of faculty and students.

STUDENT GROUPS GET DISCOUNTS AT THE KANSAN!!
Gifts may vary,but for most Valentine's Day means cards
By Heather Fritz
Kansan Magazine writer
On February 14th we should pause and consider what Valentine's Day truly means:
$1.7 billion to the mailing card
$2.7 billion to the greeting card industry.
From a Boynton card, Recycled Paper Products, Inc.
To Charlie Brown it means an eternity of empty mailboxes.
Valentine's Day can mean many things to many people. To children it is scissors and glue and "Mommy" crawled lovingly in crayon across construction paper. To young women it means flowers and chocolate. For many young men, it means racing to the store on Feb. 13.
eternity of empty hearts.
But for most people, Valentine's Day means cards. Lots of them. 850 million, to be exact.
That is the number of cards the greeting card industry expects to sell for this year's Valentine's Day, said Rachel Bolton, product information coordinator for Hallmark Cards, Inc. in Kansas City, Mo.
Valentine's Day is second only to Christmas in card sales, Bolton said, and Hallmark alone has more than 1,700 different valentine designs. No wonder it's so hard to pick the perfect card.
Lawrence store owners say that cards are by far the hottest gift item for Valentine's Day, but they stock everything from heart-shaped ashtrays to heart-shaped cookie cutters. Give something a heart motif, add a dash of red, pink or white, and you have a Valentine's Day gift item.
There are heart pencils, puzzles, mugs, suckers, pins, stuffed animals, balloons, shirts, baskets, glass boxes, ice molds, candies, picture frames, and of course, flowers and candy. As Snoopy says in one card, "It was hard choosing the right valentine for you. I never realized there
were so many ways to say 'I love you.'
In contrast to valentine cards in the 1800s, which were left blank inside for senders to create their own poems, modern valentines hold verses that run the gamut from sentimental to hilarious.
mirabilous.
Humor is the fastest-growing category of greeting cards, Bolton said, and it shows in the types of cards available on store racks.
Sandy Arbuthot, manager of Arbuthot hallmark Card and Gift Shop, 2012 W. 23rd, said she stocked from 8,000 to 10,000 valentine cards and expected to have only 15 percent left over. She said the cards she stocked were picked by Hallmark based on the previous year's sales. She said she expected the biggest day for card sales to be Feb. 13.
Chris Todd, Garden City junior, said he usually decided the day before the holiday whether to give valentine cards.
Bolton said males bought more cards for Valentine's Day than for any other holiday, but she said more women than men seemed to think Valentine's Day was important.
"If I'm dating someone, then you always think of them," he said. "If she's someone who's nice and cute I might (give her a card), but if she's just a friend I don't."
Gwen McKillip, Lake Forest, Ill., sophomore, agreed but said the reaction depended on the man.
"Guys have more of a tendency to forget about it, or else it's a spur of the moment thing," said Jill Moeder, Newton sophomore. "Girls are more romantic."
"If they think they're real macho, they're not going to care," she said. "But I think all
girls get a kick out of Valentine's Day.
There also is the problem of what kind of card to buy. Lisa Cook, Kansas City, Kan., freshman, said she solved the problem by buying her husband both a funny card and a serious one.
"Most sound real fake, real sing-song," Cook said. "I usually try to find one with something I would really say to him."
"I try to pick one for them that they would give to me," she said.
Cheryl Allmon, Coffeyville junior, said she bought a lot of cards and picked them depending on her mood.
Bolton said, "The whole trend is toward being more individualistic, so people buy whatever strikes them at the time. The 1986 look is more stylized, with bolder, brighter colors and satin, glitter, punch-outs and laser-cut lace."
Since Valentine's Day is traditionally thought of as a holiday for lovers, it is surprising that the majority of cards are not bought for boyfriends or girlfriends, but for family. Bolton said that 75 percent of the individual cards bought are for relatives and that teachers receive the most valentines.
Many cards illustrate single life. And some of the funniest cards, such as this one, deal with characters who can't get a valentine.

Like I know if I ever asked some boy to be my valentine, and he'd said, "No way, Wormhead." you would have given me a big long hug and asked me to be your valentine even though we're both girls.
