She described the writer's life of being constantly surrounded by scenes that spark story ideas and people who suggest possible charac ters. Clearly, creative writing is a source of personal fulfillment for her as well as an outlet for her creativity. The Cellar Door, the literary and graphic arts magazine published by UNC students, is produced with the interests of students like staff member White in mind.

Walk into any card shop and you will witness a chaotic spectacle that could pass for a new competitive sport. If you want to be entertained, simply hover near the card section of the UNC Student Store. There you can watch the many customers fight their way through the aisles while attempting to estab lish strategic positions in front of the card racks. Observe how skillfully some people use sleight-of-hand to snatch a card out from under the nose of an unsuspecting customer nearby. Be sure to notice how the normally organized card racks have been transformed into a confused mixture of mismatched cards and stray envelopes. A familiar scene? If you have shopped for Valentine cards this week, it probably is. Large crowds Lovebirds By HANNAH DRUM Staff Writer Valentine's Day is an annual phenomenon that can transform even the most hardhearted individ ual into a hopeless romantic. The Feb. 14 tradition evolved from a European ritual which cele brated the mating season of birds. Geoffrey Chaucer noticed that lovers lavished their mates with gifts to gain their affections at the same time the birds chose their mates. foot in 'Cellar Door' meet separately to narrow down the list of works. Selection of works is anonymous to insure unbiased critiquing. Each staffs choices are submitted to Haas, who makes the final decisions about which works will be published. She said there is no particular theme by which the pieces in each issue are organized. "I try to fit things together in some sort of organized fashion depending upon how they lay on the page," she said. "Everything should flow." This week the staff has been selling last fall's magazine for $2 in the Pit.

She said the store will be a madhouse on Feb. 14. Libby Messer, card buyer for Student Stores, said the store received about $3,000 worth of cards and she expects to sell almost all of them this week. . Messer said the store has been so busy since Monday that she can't even get to the cards to straighten them up. After Christmas, Valentine's Day is the most popular card-sending occasion. According to American Greetings Corp., approximately 1.09 billion Valentine cards will be exchanged in the United States industry-wide. The statistics help explain the flock to buy Valentine gifts Valentine's Day gift-getters pack the stores searching for unique gifts. However, traditional gifts remain favorites for both the giver and the receiver of the gifts. Roses remain the most popular gift idea this year. The Floral Index, a Chicago-based marketing firm, predicted that 65 million roses will be exchanged this Valentine's Day. University Florist & Gift Shop sold an estimated 3,000 to 4,000 roses for the occasion in 1986. Sales are "Sales have been going pretty well," Haas said, "but it really astounds me that more people don't buy it. I think there's an apathy on this campus toward creative writing and art, and I don't know why that is." I he magazine, which is published once each semester and averages about 50 pages in length, invites both undergraduate and graduate submis sions. Students interested in meeting this semester's deadline should turn in their work to the Cellar Door office in Union 216B by Monday, Feb. 16. j CBS GREAT PERFORMANCE SERIES mr mm siai HOircnt jVrfurumuccjJ PglBEMIi BAROQUE FAVORITES AlBINONI'S ADAGIO MOURETSROKOEAU BACH'S AIR HANDEL'S SARABANDE viwiprs micro from mahooun concerto wet more lEFfiRDEKGUSH CHASER GBCHESM MAIC0SREIA GRANDE ECURIE ET Ik CKAMBRE DU ROY KAPPPHILHAKMONIA VIRTUOSI OF NEW YORK & OTHERS Watiaftswa aw!(irigit mrm mw ims. sm 126x31) wm ismmm m ... V J 131 E. FRANKLIN ST.UNIVERSITy MALL queues for cards i large turnout ot week-before shoppers. Store managers and sales people are not the only ones who have to survive the card shopping chaos this week. Shoppers must also cope with the long lines and big crowds. Junior Journalism major Renee Lambert said that although she should have done all of her Valentine card buying last week, she is not bothered by the crowds. "They're all out to do the same thing I am, so 1 don't mind pushing and waiting my turn," she said. Freshman Michelle Deal said she does not mind the crowds much either. "I'm so busy trying to find the right card ... I don't really think about it," she said. "It's not really irritating except when you want a card and someone grabs it or people push you around." Big crowds also are forming in the post office on Franklin Street as people stood in long lines Wednes day to buy stamps to stick on the Valentine cards. Several people expected to boom again this year because men are beginning to admit that they would enjoy receiving flowers. "One rose would make a beautiful gift," said senior Pam Covais. Because one dozen long-stemmed roses cost about $40 in Chapel Hill, many students will opt for the one rose gift. If you plan to play cupid this year, be prepared to pay higher prices for more traditional Valentine gifts. There are some wholesale rose suppliers who raise prices as much as 300 percent in February to compensate for production and shipping expenses. Floral Index estimates that U.S. consumers will pay an average of $3. 15 per rose this year. Boxed candy, while not quite as popular this year, still ranks as a favorite sweet for the sweetheart. The Chocolate Mousse in University Square is offering unusual chocolate edibles such as handmade chocolate roses in red, pink and white. The chocolate roses will satisfy those who want both flowers and sweets. "We guarantee they taste better than the real thing," said owner Kristen Wickliffe about the colorful 2mv lloireflt yVrfurumnccgll X!

Lambert said that although you can always send a letter, sending a card is nice because "it lets people know they're special." , Carolyn Horn, who bought cards for her 10 grandchildren, com mented on the value of receiving cards. "I love to get a card," she said. "I don't like one with just the name on it I like a little note bringing me up to date. To know you're being thought of as special." So take heart, those of you who have fought the last minute card shopping crowds. The happiness your cards can bring to your friends and sweethearts should make the effort worthwhile. creations. Singing delivery services are pop ular this year because many people want to give a more personalized gift. "I like singing so much I would love to be serenaded on Valentine's Day," said Joy Cox, a freshman. Balloons & Tunes of Carrboro offers special student rates on some deliveries. For about $25, you caii send your loved one helium balloonj attached to a teddy bear or a mu of Hershey's Kisses. The delivery person will even sing a song chosen especially for that person.

"We sell thenj to women for men and to men fo( women . . . they're really a uniseH style," said Denise Tarain of NighJ Gallery. ; t Many still feel that love and companionship make perfect gifts.
