In case you haven't realized it
the most important day in every-
one's dating career is coming up
in just 10 days Valentine's Day!
If you haven't started making
preparations for the big day by
now you should get started
immediately. Every move you
make counts. If you don't handle
Valentine's Day right you could
completely destroy your love life.
First here's some advice for
you men: If you already have a
girlfriend don't think giving her
a little box of candv will do the
trick. You may have already won
her over but if you want to keep
her happy (or keep her at all) you
need to do something extra-
special for her.
I think you all know roses (and
diamonds) arc a girl's best friend.
Roses do something to women.
They make them all teary-cyed
with sentimental gratitude. They
make them walk about 10 feet off
the floor with huge grins across
their faces. They fill their hearts
with warmth and passion for the
one who sends them the roses.
Need I say more?
Of course the traditional heart-
shaped boxes of candy arc a
wonderful extra to throw in. Each
time she nibbles on a piece of
candy she II think of you. If the
box is pretty and frilly she'll save
it and she might even hang it on
her bulletin board as a constant
reminder of you.
One thing you guys often foroct
is the valentine itself. With just
the right words you could win her
over for life!
If you don't already have a
girlfriend let the woman you've
had your eye on know she's
special. Send her a card in the
mail. Leave another one the next
day in the dorm for her to pick up.
Have a valagram delivered to her
(Thcta Chi is selling them) and
have a friendship flower delivered
to her (Pi Phi is selling these).
These arc all nice gestures that
will keep you on her mind and
keep her spirits high. Next ask
her out for dinner on Valentine s
night. Take her to a cozy but
dressy restaurant. That night
present her with a small box of
prettily decorated candy and a
single red rose. If all that doesn't
get a hot flame started check
your breath.
Now for you women: guys
have a tough time financing your
wishes. It's also hard on them
trying to figure out how much of
the "mushy" stuff you go for. So
help him along by doing the
ibllov.ing:
For the next few days be
EXTRA friendly to the guy you
have your eye on. Let him know
you're interested. Compliment
him often on anything!
Look your best for him all the
time. Bake him fresh hot cookies
and deliver them to the dorm.
When Valentine's Day arrives
(this goes for single women and
those who already have guys)
really play it up when your guy
gives you a card candy or
flowers. Over-exaggerate your
joy thank him a million times.
Look extra pretty for your date
that night.
It wouldn't hurt to treat your
guy a little cither. If he's out the
price of a dozen roses why don't
you be out the price of a meal?
And guess what? Guys like
candy too. How about getting
him a heart-shaped box of candy
(without the decoration.) A
creative ha.nd-made card with
your favorite memory of a time
you've shared with him written
on the inside will be treasured by
him more than you'll know.

Latest Reagan tax
There is one thing and one
thing only that I like about
Ronald Reagan: He is so easy to
criticize. He stands behind so
many outmoded outdated and
ignorant policies that one has a
refreshing variety of points to
criticize. But today I choose only
one: the flat rate income tax.
In aii fairness I must admit that
Mr Reagan has not actually
proposed the flat rate income tax
system to Congress but he is
considering it and it is widely
known that he favors such a
system. What is this flat rate
income tax?
It is a system in which all
people pay a fixed percentage of
their income as income tax no
matter what that income is. Most
analysts estimate that this frac-
tion would be in the range of
15. In this system there arc
also no deductions or loopholes.
McMurry
McMurry College has received a
5500000 challenge grant from the
J.E. and L.E. Mabcc Foundation
of Tulsa. Okla. which is earmark-
ed for a 52 million campus-wide
modernization and renovation
project.
In order to receive the grant the
College must raise and additional
51500000 before Dec. 31 1983.
"McMurry is grateful to receive
this challenge from the Mabcc
Foundation" stated McMurry
president Dr. Thomas Kim. "This
money together with the money
wc will raise will be used to
renovate many of our current
buildings and facilities. We feel it
is a better stewardship of re-
sources to improve upon what wc
already have rather than contin-
ually building new things."
The 52 million project will
concentrate on several key areas
of the McMurry campus including
the landmark structure the Rad-
ford Memorial Building. Also
scheduled for special attention
are the Harold G. Cooke Classroom
Building the C.E. Maedgcn Ad-
ministration Building Old Indian
Gym the Finch-Gray Science
Center and married student
housing.

per year would pay 15 of thicr
gross income as income tax.
Herein lies the reason that this
r eceiyes grant for renovations
its tall Gothic tower was orig-
inally donated to the college by
the late Mr. and Mrs. J.M.
Radford early-day Abilene
wholesale grocers and civic lead-
ers. It was completed in 1950
under the leadership of the late
Dr. Harold G. Cooke then presi-
dent. For many years it was
known as the Radford Memorial
Student Life Center but many of
the student life functions are now
centered in the new United
Methodist Campus Center. Rad-
ford still houses the auditorium
and various offices. The Auditorium
will be one of the areas to be
remodeled. A complete renovation
plan for the structure will be
announced later.
The Cooke Classroom Building
completed in 1957 is the center of
academic life on the campus. It is
named for the dynamic former
president who died in 1958. In
additon to classrooms the Cooke
Building also houses McMurry's
computer center and many faculty
offices.
The Macdgen Building was do-
nated by the late C.E. Macdgen
a Lubbock banker and his wife
and was opened in 1962. It houses
most of the administrative offices
plus the registrar and business
proposal falls flat
system is so terrible. It lets the
rich off easy while increasing the
tax on the poor.
Suppose a man makes 510000
annually. Out of this he might
spend 59000 on food clothing
and shelter. The other thousand
he spends on tax and what few
luxuries the leftover can provide.
Now consider what happens io
him if he has to pay a flat rate tax
of 15. This leaves him 58500 to
buy 59000 worth of life's neces-
sities. Now he must cither cut
back to inadequate food clothing
and shelter or go into debt over
the course of the year.
On the other hand consider
what happens to a man who
makes 51 million annually. He
goes from paying 60 or 70 tax to
15. Instead of netting 5300000
or 5400000 a year he nets
5850000. And since there arc
now no tax deductions there is no
offices as well as admissions
development and alumni offices.
Also included in the renovation
work arc the streets and many of
the parki g areas at McMurry

reason to give to charity. The
many gifts he so generously gave
the year before arc not given the
next year and charitable organi-
zations begin to disappear. The
rich get richer while the poor and
even organizations to help the
poor get poorer.
It is obvious why this tax
system would be supported by
those who make several hundred
thousand dollars or more a year.
After all who would not like to
more than double their take-home
pay? Yet it seems that this system
could not be supported by anyone
who has a shred of social con-
science. The flat rate tax is
unquestionably a simpler easier
system than the system in use
today. But in terms of human
suffering why should wc pay a
terrible price just to get a tax
system that Ronald Reagan can
understand?
