V-Day Presents Gift Problem ]
By SYLVIA JOHNSTONE
Come February 14—"V-Day—local males will once again be contemplat
ing the proverbial problem of what to give their favorite female companion
Could be these local males will have new heart throbs since last season
girls who are very coed-ish and who delight in the simplicity of a contem
porary card.
Maybe the boys will like the one that is one foot square—the bigger
the better they say—for only two bits. Its the one that would have
big hippopotamus mouth starring her in the face when she opened It with
the "can’t miss with the kiss” type.
Then there are the ones with the big buildup that start off something
like—“Darling! I love you so much I couldn’t think of just the right thing
to get for you for Valentine’s ... so I didn't!!
Every ’Tn-the-groover” can foresee the big event of his girl opening her
"Hallmark" contemporary and receiving whatever gimmick happens to
be- here. They say they are guaranteed to produce laughter every time
Today’s young modern couple believes in the symbol. Specifically th
lavelier, pin, ring, or what have you. It doesn’t really matter, Just so it
belongs to the boy. If he doesn’t come through with the charm or other
expensive item for her Valentine's day, he Just doesn't love her anymore
Some boys think of the ever-popular candy box shaped like a heart and
still others trot down to the local florist to pick up some blossoming
bouquet . . . that is if he has the proper facilities to keep them fresh
until the big day.
Actually the very idea of candy or flowers or even a sweet frilly lace
valentine is so utterly square as to be unthinkable. How would she ex
plain it to her roommate In this day and age? You just can’t hide things
like flowers . . . THEY SMELL.
I hate to stick my neck out, but I like the old way—the candy and flowers
bit. I'm personally wondering what has happened to the sentimental,
the sweet, the wonderful old valentine-shaped cards that say simply
“I IX)VE YOU.”
Jyrd Asks Changes
n University Funds
Governor Ernest Vandiver has pro
posed a budget increase of $1.6-
milllon to the University system, but
his action has been strongly opposed
by Lt. Governor Garland Byrd.
Byrd proposed the additional
funds, rather than being given to
the University system, should be used
to provide increases in teachers' pay
This would possibly amount to $50
per year for each of Georgia’s teach
ers.
The funds were originally made
available by a $ 4.5-million clerical
error in the first draft of the state
budget. Gov Vandiver said. He Indi
cated that $2.9-mtlllon of the amount
should be used to give Georgia
teachers a $100 yearly Increase, with
the additional money allocated to
the University system.
House and Senate appropriations
committee members are investigating
the finances of the University system
in preparing the budget. An increase
of $2.9-million to the University sys
tem has been suggested by system
treasurer James Blissit.

a two-hour concert in Fine Arts and

performance.
