Select a gift for from this Valentine potpourri By SHARON SHERIDAN I-ratlin's Kdilor Valentine's Day is almost here, and the world is turning red. Stores advertise the usual red roses, red greeting cards and red, heart-shaped boxes of choc olates. They also carry red paper clips, red plastic lips, red erasers, red candles and red devils. The prices are as varied as the merchandise. For 75 cents at Logos Bookstore. 100 W. Franklin Street, one can purchase a plastic straw with a heart-shaped loop in it or five petals of rose-scented soap from Easy Aces. For $60, one can buy a dozen long stemmed roses from The Floral Show case at University Square. "It's our busiest day of the year," said Sharon Collins, co-owner of Balloons & Tunes in Carrboro. She estimated her business would deliver about 200 balloon bouquets on Valentine's Day. Each bouquet comes with a song. Popular Valentine's Day tunes include "Baby Face," "Always," "It's Almost Like Being in Love" and "Let Me Call You Sweetheart." Bouquets cost between $20 and $50, the price varying according to which balloons and accessories (stuffed anim als, a mugful of chocolate kisses) are included, said employee . Sue Jarrell. Customers can order bouquets in Carrboro at The Celebration Station, 102 E. Weaver St., or The Delivery Station, 108 E. Main St. Business also should be hopping at The Cookie Jar, 112 W. Franklin St. Owner Bradley Stanley said that last year, "We had a line from that cash register to the street all day." Those searching for edible valentines can buy a heart-shaped cookie with an icing message for $7.99 or a pound of assorted cookies, wrapped and adorned with a ribbon, for about $6. Valentines aren't just for sweethearts, either. A glance at the greeting card display in the UNC Student Stores reveals cards for parents, grandparents, babies, godchildren, siblings, aunts, uncles and cousins. For $2, grandpar ents can send their grandsons a card with a Valentine's Day greeting and punch-out spaceship. There even is a card for someone with a "Valentine Birthday." . Valentine's Day used to be simpler. Folks once made valentines for that special someone. And, during the ancient Roman feast of Lupercalia, from whence the holiday seems to have originated, people only had to worry about one valentine. During Lupercalia, each man drew a woman's name from an urn and became her partner for the festival.

Christian clergy substituted saints' names for women's names. Each man was sup posed to try to emulate the saint whose name he drew. The name Saint Valentine apparently refers to two martyred Christians, one a priest in Rome, the other a bishop of Terni. Today, of course, secular romantic customs take precedence over Feb. 14's former religious significance. And businesses are ready to oblige with everything from cheese to chocolates. A Southern Season Inc. at Eastgate Shopping Center, for example, is holding a "Red Hot Winter Sale" until Feb. 24. One can buy a half-pound of heart-shaped Moravian cookies for $3.95, heart-shaped red-waxed Wiscon sin Cheddar ($1.95 for four ounces, $4.95 for 10 ounces) or Provender cosmetics (red love soap or a red toothbrush with hearts on it). Accord ing to Advertising Manager -Gwen Overturf, "We even have gourmet dog food and cat food." A Southern Season also is ottering a special Valentine's Day basket, "Cupid's Calling Card." Each basket contains Jelly Belly jelly beans, red waxed Wisconsin Cheddar, chocolate and hazelnut Baci (Italian for kisses) from Perugina, Reber chocolate and "Cupid's own plump, red, chocolate heart," Overturf said. The baskets cost $10 and will be delivered Valentine's Day in the Chapel Hill-Carrboro area or shipped else where in North Carolina.- For $2.50 each, customers can add a miniature bottle of champagne or an anthurium, a red, heart-shaped flower from Hawaii. Baskets can be ordered through Tuesday. Ice cream lovers can buy cakes at Haagen-Dazs Ice Cream Shoppe, 112 W. Franklin St. Large ice cream cakes cost $11.88 and serve 10 people; small cakes cost $4.04. Those who want to send the tradi tional bouquet of roses can order a dozen long-stemmed red roses for $28.75 or a dozen red sweetheart roses for $18.75 at The Potted Plant at University Mall. Some local florists interviewed were not sure why people give roses on Valentine's Day, but the custom seems well-established . "I think the symbol is the rose or the red," said Barbara Levine, owner of The Potted Plant. "The real thing is to get a rose, even if you just get one rose." SL. Heels the tteia and Duut a J4-24 edge late in the half. But coach Smith ordered a 1-3-1 zone for the second half. The strategy worked, as LSU's top player, forward Nikita Wilson, who averages 16 points a game and had 10 in the first half, hit only two of six shots over the final 20 minutes and the Tigers needed outside jumpers from Taylor and guard Jerry Reynolds to stay even. "In the second half, we wanted them to take the perimeter jumper," Kenny Smith said. "It seemed like Wilson was getting inside too much in the first half." Meanwhile, UNC exploited the holes in LSU's loose zone. "They played the passing lanes really well on the zone," Hale said. "They tried to take away the passing lanes, so what you have to do is penetrate.? If you can break their initial pressure and pene trate into the middle you're going to have guys open." So effective was that strategy down the stretch, that UNC's last 10 field goals over the final 13:23 were made by the big men Daugherty, Martin, Dave Popson and Joe Wolf. "Brad definitely dominated more than he had been of late," Kenny Smith said.

"They have great physical ability big, strong players." While UNC's front line credited Smith and Hale with getting the ball inside to them, Wolf actually contrib uted heavily, dishing in six assists of his own, mostly from the, high post. "They didn't expect me to be such a good dribbler," Wolf said. "When I got into the tighter positions they ganged up on me, and that left Warren and Brad inside for a two-footer." LSU had been shooting 50 percent from the field before yesterday, but had not been particularly strong in its outside game. Thus, the first-half perimeter game caught the Tar Heels off their guard. "I didn't know Jerry Reynolds could shoot that good from the outside," coach Smith said. "At least he didn't in the film I saw of him." Reynolds was seven of 12 on the game, but most of those were from beyond the paint. Although no one could pinpoint a specific turning point in the see-saw affair, LSU coach Dale Brown attrib ?
