This week in From the Archives, we look back on Valentine’s Day festivities and romance at the University. From advice on how to properly blind date to personal takes on the not-so-lovely aspects of Valentine’s Day stress, these authors paint a vibrant picture of how this holiday of love has impacted Hoos for decades. 1950sFeb. 10, 1950“Blind Dates May Cause Calm, Charm, or Alarm”By Staige BlackfordThis author details the kinds of worries that might plague a young bachelor considering a blind date in 1950.

Can’t you find the right Valentine’s Day gift?”In this advertisement, The Cavalier Daily hoped to persuade readers to purchase a love note to be featured on the Valentine’s Day edition of the newspaper.

He reminds readers of the silliness of the Valentine’s Days of our youth, when we cut up asymmetric paper hearts and awkwardly shared candy with classmates. In the card aisle of a local shop, he feels a similar sense of comedic relief while reading some absurd Valentine’s card headers, ranging from “Someone Special” to “For Anyone” to “Yee-Haw.”2000sFeb. 12, 2003“From third grade to third year and beyond, Valentine’s Day wreaks havoc in the lives of men”By Preston SpeedFor Preston Speed, Valentine’s Day is a useless holiday that serves only to highlight the differences in how men and women view romance. Girls sitting behind him in class gossip about dates at their favorite restaurants and eagerly anticipate flowers, yet he could not care less. When Charlottesville is overcome with chocolates and pink and red come Valentine’s Day, Speed hopes that a girl will give him a bag of his favorite candy and help him see the appeal of Valentine’s Day.

The City of Charlottesville operates under a “mayor-council” government, in which the mayor holds limited executive power, and appoints a city manager to oversee the operations of the city and execute the City Council’s plans. But this doesn’t stop Mayor Juandiego Wade — who was reelected for a second two-year term Jan. 5 — from engaging with the community. Although many concerns could be redirected to the city manager’s office, Wade believes in working closely with stakeholders and serving as a representative for locals to contact when they have questions.
This Friday, while braving the cold and treacherous ice patches that still line many parts of the Corner, I decided to pop into Mangosteen Asian Street Food for Charlottesville’s Restaurant Week, hoping that a hearty meal would offer me some warm relief.

And I have to admit, the trek was worth it.
