Vice President for Administration Robert H. Scott says he wants to spend Valentine's Day "on a desert island with Tina Turner."

"The perfect valentine would be that lady on 'Moonlighting'," says Dean of Student Archie C. Epps III. Look out, Bruce Willis.

And others want to do a specific thing. "I'd like to go moonlight skiing," says Milbert D. Shin '87. "It find of creates an atmosphere."

Peace and quiet figure heavily in some people's idea of a perfect Valentine's Day. "Someone would have a drawn, hot bubble bath waiting with a rose and a glass of champagne," says Yolanda Barrera, a proctor in Pennypacker Hall. "That's all I would want. Just Leave me alone to relax for a couple of hours and don't bug me."

Stephen T. Shankland '90 has one of the most elaborate dreams of a perfect Valentine's Day.

"I want to go into a nice big room with lots of pillows with the romantic person of my choice. I'd have a great, nifty-dandy stereo system, all this music that you want to listen to, and as much time as you want," he says. "I'd also have tons of paper so I could draw pictures and write poems."

They say absence makes the heart grow fonder, but Financial Vice President Thomas O'Brien might not agree. "My perfect Valentine would be for the President [Bok] to take a three-month vacation every year," he says.

Jon S. Dounchis '90 doesn't have to dream about a perfect day, he's going to live it. "I'm going down to visit my girlfriend at Princeton," he says. "We'll go to New York and go out to dinner, I'm sure."

Whatever they want to do for Valentine's Day, everyone agrees that their plans require one crucial element. "A perfect Valentine's Day would require a perfect Valentine person," Lamport says.
