Purnell said society’s standards are divided into three categories: the beauty cult, the intelligence game and the status symbol. He said the beauty cult starts be fore a person is born. “Everyone wants a beautiful child,” he said. Society decides what people are supposed to look like, he said. “Nobody knows what the ideal is, but whatever it is, you’re either too fat or skinny, too tall or short, you waddle, your nose is crooked, or your eyes meet in the middle or your face looks like zit-city,” Purnell said. He said every parent wants an av erage child, but after the child is bom, average is no longer sufficient. Parents brag about how fast their children learn and the child grows up thinking he is exceptional, he said. “Then they go to school. . . and the names begin to come — slow, dumb-dumb, buffalo, dough-head and space cadet,” he said. “The child gets a complex.” No one wants to be average, Pur nell said. Purnell said the number one sta tus symbol among college students is the stereo. “No, it’s not your boots!” he said to some senior Corps members. “It’s your stereo. “When a multi-millionaire was asked ‘How much money would satisfy you?’ he said, Just a little bit more.’ We want more and more and more and we re never satisfied. Have you ever heard anyone say ‘Stop! No more money; I’ve got enough!’?’’ Purnell asked rhetoric ally. Purnell said if one lives by the beauty cult, intelligence game, sal status symbols, he guarantees lit person will be discouraged himself. “Why? Because nobody makesit' Purnell said. “The rule ofsocietyj everybody plays, nobody wins Purnell said he thinks jesusCkiit was either average looking or He said the Bible gives no accounlil what Jesus looks like except wkei the prophet Isaiah said his (as would he marred more than ait man. “People were not attracted tofj looks, they were attracted to power and personality,” Puml said. “To he perfectly honest with you men and women, Jesus neverwm to A&M,” he said. “. . . Jesus»ai the greatest man to live, butwhenh died on the cross, the only thinjlt had left was a one-piece robe-aid the soldiers shot dice for that. Speaker says ‘ideal’man is subject of misconception By CAROL HANCOCK Campus Staff There are a lot of misconceptions about what qualities the ideal man should possess. Being able to quiet a crowded barroom and make every one flinch when ordering a beer is just one of them, said Dick Purnell, a speaker for the Campus Crusade for Christ. Most ideas in the United States of what men are and should be come from the media, Purnell told resi dents of Legett Hall Wednesday. Usually, the concepts are false, he said. A man should be teachable, tena cious and tender, Purnell said. “It’s easy for a man not to be teach able when it comes to women, he said.-Women want to be understood. A man has to learn and understand about a woman’s sensitivity and per sonality before he can provide her needs, he said. To be tenacious is to hold on strongly to what you believe to be true, Purnell said. Many men have their feet planted firmly in mid-air — they don’t quite know what they believe. Women don’t want a man who flows with the public opinion, he said. Tenderness has been pushedara by “macho men’’ on the televisk he said. Usually, it isoneofthemoS important qualities to women. Th best way to teach a man tobetewk Purnell said, is to model it in even day life. Being tender, tenacious teachable are not the only qualities man should have, they’re just impK tant ones, Purnell said. Purnell said women aren’t tions. They should also possessti qualities. Language group tries to minimize barriers By ROSEMARY ALYEA Campus Reporter A nevyly-organized Interdisciplin ary Spanish Convecsation Group is doing its part to improve relations between the United States and His panic countries. Composed of about 30 members from Texas A&M University, the three groups allow faculty and staff members who are interested or en gaged in activities with Hispanic na tions to “practice so that they can function more effectively on the in ternational scene,” said Dr. Gisela Mahoney, coordinator. She is also technical editor of the Sea Grant program here. Mahoney, said she became con cerned with language and cultural barriers while living in Bolivia for 10 years. Specifically, she said she found accuracy lacking in foreign lan guage excerpt^, ip seii^ntifiq. scripts arid publicatkms? It is not uncommon to find as many as 55 errors in 12 lines of foreign language text, she said. And she attributed this to the absence of a multi-lingual review of manuscripts. The conversation groups will also help their participants orally com municate with foreign nationals at home and abroad. Too often, Mahoney said, people assume they can rely on English when they travel. “Who are we to address them (foreign nationals) only in English?” she said. “We encourage conversation ab out travels abroad,” she said, but other topics are discussed as well. The grups, meet at luncheonsaai I rylaxfd, ” said Mahoney Proficiency in Spanish rangesfroii "low to very fluent, ” but according!! her, all members benefit fromani enjoy the conversation regardlessfl their level of proficiency. With a master’s in cereal chemis try and a doctorate in inorganic elf mistry, Mahoney has led Gem# conversation groups before and sai: she decided on the Spanish conver sation groups “because that’s wlert our strongest need is.” She also said she is interestedii forming a Portuguese conversatio: group soon.
