With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, students across the Boston University campus will likely be getting some extra tender loving care over the weekend.

We here at the ol’ Free Press have compiled a list of the likely places where they can be found getting some action.

The hockey team will probably be found honing their game at both the FleetCenter and Conte Forum, two places where they have been violated by Boston College a few times this year. They will undoubtedly be avoiding Walter Brown Arena, where they have had a very, very difficult time scoring.

College of Communication students will more likely be committing floor-cest because that flight of stairs is too big of a journey to find some friendly contact. Photojournalism majors will also be spending a little extra time in the darkroom mixing chemicals.

College of General Studies students will be found in Jacob Sleeper Auditorium studying up with their friendly pop-up “Kama Sutra” books, which explain the birds and the bees with a handy numerical system. Metropolitan College students will be up and at ’em all weekend – well at least during the day.

Members of the Student Union earned themselves an easy weekend – they won’t even have to leave their rooms to get a little charge. With a free sneak peek at BU’s possible cable offerings, they’ll be locked up on Saturday flipping between Skinemax and Showtime.

Where will the Free Press be laying out? Pretty much anywhere it’s offered. After a drubbing on the hardwood Thursday night, it’s obvious just how out of shape we are. We may like seeing our names in print, but that clearly doesn’t get us much more than self-love.

The hockey team had Sean Fields Monday night. But for students who don’t get that kind of protection this weekend, the FDA’s upcoming ruling will hopefully leave them plenty of “RU-486” sweethearts prescription-free.

And by this time next year, gay couples will finally be able to have free and open weddings in the College of Arts and Sciences bathrooms.
