Love filled the air in the Kansas Union yesterday, as students streamed in and out of the "Love Zone."
Student Union Activities transformed the fourth floor for its open house of free Valentine's Day activities and services.
Anima, a local astrologer and tarot card reader, answered romance questions; Debbie Carruth, a Lawrence massage therapist, offered five-minute rub-downs to relieve Valentine's Day anxiety; and balloon and caricature artists provided potential gifts for mates.
"The Dating Game," however, was the main event planned for the afternoon. Three women vied for a date with Student Body Vice President Marlon Marshall.
Marshall, blindfolded until the contestants stood behind him on the set of yellow and white balloons, tried to find his best match with questions about favorite colors, animals, decades and movies.
Johee Chang, Overland Park senior, told Marshall that, were she a type of candy, it would be "a
"I was trying to spice it up," Chang said after the game.
But Marshall chose Robin Mendoza, Leavenworth junior, for her statement on her favorite color.
Blow Pop, because it's hard on the outside but soft on the inside."
"She said black was sensual, and that got to me," Marshall said.
"I just got out of a relationship, so I'm not looking for anything romantic," she said. "I just want to have some fun."
Melissa Studley, Scott City sophomore, was the third contestant.
Mendoza said the experience was "embarrassing," but she was looking forward to the date. The pair will dine at the Prairie Room in the Kansas Union, bowl at the Jaybowl and possibly attend Saturday's basketball game.
Students at the "Love Zone" also bought flowers, participated in a pick-up line contest, visited with Watkins Health Center representatives and watched a live, dramatic performance of The Sure Thing.
But Mendoza said she wasn't playing for keeps.

State approves evolution back into curriculum
Continued from page 1A
The emphasis on the evolution debate proved to be important enough in last November's election to cause changes in the board of education.
Gamble and Rupe had promised the board would change its standards.
Republican newcomers Gamble, and Carol Rupe, of Wichita, replaced Linda Holloway and Mary Douglass Brown, after they were defeated in the August Republican primaries. Holloway and Brown supported the old standards.
In favor of evolution education, along with Gamble and Rupe, were Chairman Sonny Rundell, of Syracuse; Val DeFever, of Independence; and Janet Waugh, of Kansas City. Kan. Bill Wagnon, a Topeka Democrat, and Bruce Wyatt, a Salina Republican, who successfully defended their seats last November, also voted in favor of the evolution curriculum.
Steve Abrams, a Republican from Arkansas City, who was also re-elected, voted against the new science standards.
John Bacon, of Olathe, and Harold Voth, of Haven, also opposed the new standards.
