2The Daily Tar HeelFriday, February 14, 1992 lJilib Students, community ready for Cupid's arrows Valentine's Day elicits diverse opinions By John Broadfoot Staff Writer It's been called a commercialized Hallmark holiday, but like it or not, Valentine's Day, along with its roses and chocolate candy, arrives today. And like any event involving the L word, some students take it seriously, and some students don't. Allison Easley, a freshman from Durham, maintains a traditional idea of Valentine's Day. "I think it's a day to show someone special how you feel about them," she said. Other students prefer adding a bit of humor to an otherwise romantic day. Nick Lawrence, a sophomore from Bumsville, said Valentine's Day seemed to be a good holiday for which people could send each other presents. This year, Lawrence decided to practice what he preached. "I sent a carnation to a guy as a practical joke from a woman who doesn't exist," he said. Aram Alexanian, a freshman from Wilmington, showed that some Caro lina men really do have sensitive, car ing personalities. "I'm just going to try and prepare dinner for her, something small, but very special." If the candlelight dinner with cham pagne and Luther Vandross music is not in the cards, never fear. Lovers, or even just friends, have several entertainment choices tonight. For the low-budget Valentine date, students might wish to view the roman tic adventure "Robin Hood" at 7 p.m., 9:30 p.m. and midnight in the Student Union. Or if laughter is what you and your dateloverfriendrelative desire, comedian Bertice Berry will perform at 9 p.m. in Great Hall. Morrison Residence Hall government is sponsoring a dance in the Morrison recreation room from 8 p.m. to mid night Saturday for Valentines in the mood to boogie. Tina Re, Morrison governor, said that "sweets for your sweetie" would be provided. Most students, whether they have a special someone or not, still think Valentine's Day is not such a bad idea. Archana Ejantkar, a senior from Char lotte, is sending cards to friends and family members rather than the prover bial tall, dark and handsome man. "Even to Mom and Dad, believe it or not." As Bambee Booher, a senior from Bahama, pointed out, Valentine's Day is a holiday for more than just lovers. "It's been branched out, too,"Booher said. "It's not just couples or married people, it's everybody friends." Awwwww.

Allow 10 days for receipt Instead of the traditional Valentine's Day flowers and candy, some 550 Uni versity employees will share about $7,000 worth of food today. The volunteer group Carolina Cam pus Cares will give the lowest paid University employeeschickens, apples, potatoes and other staples for Valentine's Day. Carolina Campus Cares, composed of students, faculty, staff and others, was formed in November as a response to the employees' needs, said volunteer Judith McKeon, a Chapel Hill resident. "It was a word-of-mouth initiative from all parts of the campus," McKeon said. "I first heard about it through the University women's club." AnnTalbot, a Carolina Campus Cares organizer and biostatistics department administrative manager, said invitations had been sent to 400 employees to re ceive the food packages. Enough food will be available for 150 more employ ees who come forward for assistance, she said. McKeon said the employees receiv ing food represented a cross section of the University community. "They are a number of employees in different func tions." Employees' take-home incomes have been reduced by a combination of static salaries and higher medical insurance costs. Each box will contain two chickens, a bag of apples, 10 pounds of potatoes, two cabbages, 5 pounds of grits and 2 pounds of dried beans. The boxes will be distributed in Ramshead parking lot. Carolina Campus Cares held a fund raising campaign before Christmas to buy food for the employees. Fully licensed for the sale of official professional team wear and hats.

This money was used to distribute gro ceries to about 440 University employ ees. Donations poured in from individu als and departments on campus, as well as from people in the community, she said. "I was out walking my dog one day, and someone in my neighborhood stopped and gave me a check," McKeon said. Donations eventually totaled $14,000, she said. The $7,000 left after the Christmas food distribution was used to buy the Valentine's Day food. Sara Cohen, director of University employee services, said the response had been "absolutely phenomenal." "It was heartening to see everyone in the University community come for ward with donations," Cohen said. "Some departments, rather than ex changing gifts, took money and do nated it to the Campus Cares project." Cohen said she was happy to see so many people in the University commu nity involved with the effort. "It crosses the boundaries of whether you are a staff member or a faculty member or a student," she said. "It's kind of the community helping thecom-munity." Bush from page 1 Rush from page 1 were drinking. "Unless you have people running around ratting on each other, it will be hard to enforce," Little said. Although dry rules will be hard to handle. Little said fraternity members would have to try to follow them. Hark agreed that members were go ing to have to enforce guidelines and follow them sooner or later.

The president's platform will con centrate on stabilizing the economy, and ensuring a strong national defense, Clark said. Bush also will use his wholesome image against his eventual Democratic opponent. Two of the leading Demo cratic contenders - Bob Kerrey and Bill Clinton has been hounded by recent rumors of womanizing. "A great many of our domestic prob lems things such as crime, drug abuse and low test scores can be traced back to problems at home," Clark said. 1 Elections "This is terrible for everybody not involved in that one particular racei'' Eisley said. "Our academic and per sonal lives have been strung out since we came back this January." The extra time would benefit Eisley' s campaign because he started his initial campaign one week after the other can didates, he said. Former SBP candidate Mark Bibbs, who filed the original complaint against Airan, filed two other complaints last night but withdrew them as well. "I feel that it is in the best interest bf the candidates, the Elections Board chairman, the Elections Board and the student body that campus elections come to an end as soon as possible," Bibbs said. Bibbs verbally complained that Chapel Hill Town Council member Mark Chilton handled ballots during Tuesday's election. Ruffin Poole, one of Bibbs' campaign workers, reported that he had seen Chilton campaigning for Airan outside Lenoir Dining Hall. But Poole said he had only answered questions about Chilton's .involvement and had not filed a complaint. Airan said she thought Bibbs with drew the complaint because he realized he had no grounds for it. "Obviously, Ruffin Poole and Mark Bibbs realized that they had no basis for a case against me or Mark Chilton, who was not on my campaign staff," she said. "They must have realized that it's time to allow students to vote for who they want to vote for in a run-off election."
