Page2 TTORIAL Monday, August 29, 1994 Is love's high price worth it? Valentine's Day brings up the question: How much $ Is enough ? ByAnaRocha Editor In Chief Every year, even before January is oyer stores begin their extravaganza of Valentine's Day specials and promotions. In many stores you'll see your grand assortment of: stuffed teddy bears in a variety of sizes, candy in an array of flavors, and an endless supply of flowers all lined up on shelves, waiting for those significant others to snatch them up in hopes of pleasing the ones they love. February 14. has become just another blown out of proportion holiday by the media. It has dawned on me that the only people mat really enjoy Valentine's Day are the businesses and those people that still believe in romance. s~~. Forturiatefythereaies^scmep^ci^thar love and romance. Although with all the hype that the media transmits to die public I believe love and romance will soon be a thing of the past It seems; that Valentine's Day has been cheapen to nothing more than just another money making holiday for businesses. Nowadays a person prefers not to put any thought into what a person might enjoy, but they dp focus on how much he or she should spend Ttaere are even people that believe it a duty to give their girlfriend/boyfriend a present on Valentine's Day. ' . Whatever sentiments people should feel on Valentine's Day have been lost' and replaced by materialistic, unoriginal, pathetic, ways to demonstrate how much the person has cared to spend on their loved one's gift Has the true meaning of Valentine's Day been replaced by a price tag? Supposedly thisholiday is for lovers to show how much they really care for the one another, and not how much one can spend on the other. In my opinion a traditional homemade valentine and spendingsome time with the one you care about seems perfect. Considering the fact that the first valentines ever given were homemade, but symbolized a someone's affection. It can make you wonder how insensitive it is to think about how*, much to spend *on Valentine's Day. *■: Letter from the Editors ■ i Ci> .
