For every five couples dining at the most ridiculously overpriced Italian restaurant in town, there will always be that one person at home wondering what the hell is the point. "It's just a way for corporations to prey on Americans' emotions and make them believe that you must buy someone's love," said freshman economics major, H eather Williams. While Williams has a Valentine this year, and last, both she and her Valentine agree that it's not all it's cracked up to be and hardly worth the stress. Last year, Williams bought her boyfriend a Bob Dylan T-shirt from a head shop in central Illinois. He got her flowers and jewelry from the same store. And they had never been happier. This year, Williams is here, and her boyfriend is nearly rwo hours away. She said they see each other every weekend, making Valentine's Day irrelevant to them. And they're not the only ones. "It's fake, a scam and forced," said fresh- man Lauren Davidson. "Why is it an obligation to buy your Valentine a gift? Is this really love?" Yes, there will always be the Valentine's Day version of Ebenezer Scrooge. And of those willing to share their personal experiences, heart wrench ing stories and just plain old rage, they will have their opportunity this year. Pemberton Hall will be holding its 2nd annu- al Anti-Valentine's Day this year in the Pit T.V. Lounge, located in the basement of the hall. The event will take place from 8 to 10 p.m. and is open to anyone who feels they fit the bill. Last year, those who attended individ- ually expressed their hurt and outrage ) to one another by writing their ex's a letter and taping it to a dartboard, said Melissa Coleman, the event's creator. What ensued could be imagined as one of the girls' most entertaining game of darts. It was a means of bonding, Coleman said. Coleman is - and has been for the last year and a half- the desk manager for Pemberton H all. The idea came to Coleman last year because it was the first year she had been without some one on Valentine's Day. The idea was brought up because she had no other plans and realized there were plenty of others in the same position. Basically it was, and will be again this year, therapy without all the glitz and glamour. The only difference will be that a "Friend's" clip, featuring the stars of the show burning the names of those who have done them wrong, will be shown this year. Other than that, the crowd will be the only contrasting element of last year's fiesta. "We're expecting a really big turnout and hoping it becomes a tradi tion year after year," said Amanda Sieber, president of the Pemberton Executive Board. And why wouldn't there be a big turn out? "Obviously, it appeals to any girl who has gone through a breakup recently as guys aren't their favorite people right now," Sieber said. "Or anyone who has a boyfriend that goes to another school or lives far away and they don't have anything else to do on Valentine's Day." Or anyone who is single for that matter. "I don't have a boyfriend this year so why not get involved?" Sieber said. Not evervone has a Those looking to participate in Valentine's Day the old-fashioned way face a tough decision. Who wants to spend $20 on flowers, $15 on chocolates and $10 on a cumbersome special someone sniffed teddy bear? "Why spend so much on something that will die, make you fatter and will eventually be thrown away?" said Williams. to snuggle with No, angst sounds much more appealing. FBIDAY2/1 0/06 VEBGECLASS.
