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.

perhaps lor the vear. Later. 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."

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. "He's been foul prone of late, and

that's why he wasn't dominating in there
as much."
"They're one of the toughest teams
we've faced inside," Daugherty 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
