You don't have to call me Sweetheart
Valentines is a lot like Christ-
nras. It's a day of love to be shared by
those who have feelings for one another.
That doesn't meen It's a day for couples.
It's a day for everyone.
I’ve never understood why females
often find themselves depressed on
Valentines. I think It's because of that old
about couples. Why can’t we be
happy v^th our friends and families.
I can remember wtien I was in grades
K-6 and I used to send and receive
Valentines from my friends. No one cared
if they weren’t “going" with someone.
Everyone was just glad to have friends.
It's too t>ad that some of us beconie inse
cure when we don't have male compan
ions.
For those of you that do have boy
friends, I hope that you will have a great
day. Val^tlnes for you should be a spe-
ci^ day. It is a day to rer>ew your love and
show your appreciation for one another.
For those who are boyfriendless, re-
meml)er your friends. The chances are
that some of your friends would love to
do something Thursday night. What a
perfect time for you to repress your Icwe
for them.
If you'd like to do something nice for
those you Jove but don't know what to
do, here are several suggestions.
Flowers are always nice. Males, as
well as females, enjoy getting them. A
potted plant Is always.a nice gift to re
ceive and one nice thing is that both of
these have price ranges that can fit your
budget.
Balloons! Who doesn't like ball
oons?
And what better place to buy them
than in Meredith's own Balloon Gallery.
There's a wride variety of balloons to pur
chase and again the prices start low but
do inflate as you buy more.
Food! Ah, another thing everyone
loves. Take your Valentine(s) to dinner.
Or better yet, suggest that they take you!
If you really want to do something
specjal, send your someone a singing
telegram. Believe me, this is a gift no one
will forget!
Should you like to bake, cookies are
always nice (and cheap). And they're al
ways appreciated.
Whatever you should decide to do
for Valentine's Day, I sure hope it goes
well. Just renwiber that Valentine’s is a
day to ceietxate your love and friendship
for others. If you think you may be feel
ing down, go out and have a good time.

Getting to the Point
Letter to the editor
Letter to the editor:
I am writing this letter concerning
the Meredith housing policy. The fact
that the option to live off campus as a
Junior or Senior is decided differently
each year seems very unfair to me. If
Meredith can give the off campus privi
lege to some girts one year then they
should give it to the same number of girls
the next year. There ought to be a stan
dard ruie that Meredith goes by as.to wtw
gets to live off campus and v^n so tt^
students virill be able to plan their next
year's accommodations.
V^th the long waiting lists that ac-
S£N/ORS' Pick upu your free
personal directory of employers in Career
Services Office. Ask for CPC Volume 2,
ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS AND
OTWER CAREER OPTIONS, or CPC
Volume 3, ENGINEERING, SCIENCES
AND OTHER TECHNICAL CAREER OP
TIONS.
The office of Career Services has re
ceived a list of people in the field of
Healthcare Financial Management who
feel that their profession needs well
trained people. They are willing to dis
cuss career opportunities with students
wfK) are interested. Contact Office of
Career Services for details.

fice Of Career Services or writd Douglas
company certan apartments we, as stu
dents, should be informed before now
that we can or can't live in one next year.
I don’t appreciate the fact that I h^ to
.wait until now, the beginning of Feb
ruary, to be told that my option to live off
campus next year as a Junior has been
taken away for some unknown reason.
This policy may senre a purpose but I
have yet to figure out what the purpose
is.
Who kriows - my off campus privi
lege may return by n^ Senior year, txit
the real question is, will I???

WARNING: Lock your doors at all
times!
If you don't, you might as well take
out £n ad in the TWIG and offer all of
your valuables to whomever wants them!
Believe me, someone definitely wants
them because they’re taking them! We
have a thief at Meredith!
Last year, on my hall alone, cloth
ing, necklace, watches, albums, and rny
new calculator were stolen. The thief was
never caught - but did stop for a while.
But whomever it is, is definitely t>ack -
but her tastes fiave changed.
Our valuables don't appear to be
what “she" wants anymore. So now
“sfie" just steals the money.! Third Heil-

KNOW YOUKELF!
A recent recruiter has commented
on Meredith students: "Most inter
viewees were well prepared. Suggest
they know more about who they are -
sell themselves".
man has been vandalized numerous
times and we're sick and tired of it! It’s
pretty bad when you leave the room for
15 minutes and come back »id the
money that was in your wallet, in your
dosed, pocketbook is gone!
Although our thief has no apparent
qualms about walking into our rooms
and taking our things, "sfie” does have
the decency to always leave us a dollar or
two so we won’t be completely broke!
TTie nerve!
It re^ly makes me mad that I have
to lock my room now just to run down
stairs to get a drink. Ail of the money on
our hall that has t>een stolen (over S50)
has been wfien the occupant leaves the
room for a few minutes or even wtien
they're in the shower! This has totally
gotten out of hand.
Meredith makes a big deal over its
honor code and yet you never hear or
read a word at)out the th^s on campus.
Rngers are constantly being pointed
about drinking in the rooms tike it's the
crime atx»e all crimes. I’d much rather
have a bunch of girls drinking in the room
than have a rotten thief invade my room
and steal my personal Items.
We all need to be on guard and stop
this menace, it’s very obvious that a lot
of people wouldn't hesitate to run crying
that someone was drinking a beer in their
room. So, why don't they see the other
violations that are definitely more
serious and speak up about them?
Someone knows who the thief is -
the thief herself. I’ve given everyone else
a wamir>g to protect themselves and tf«ir
belongings and now I’m going to give
one more warning: We will not let this
continue. If the leaders of ^feredith won’t
stand up and take notice of this atrocity -
we will !!!! We’re all looking and watch
ing and believe me, thief - whoever you
are - you will be caught.
