- OPINIONS • L a*... Ja me s La ur e l Al l e g o Liberal A rts One who prays kneeling in the front pew... not listening to baritone voices of the male choir... nor gazing at the handsome priest on pulpit or when he turns around at the altar to bless the people, but rather fixes her misty eyes on the Sacred Host; she is my ideal woman. Her modesty must be beyond the ordinary. She must be one who never gnashes her teeth or wags her tongue in anger, but rather must she be the type that crosses her arms in dignified admission to human frailties, not the one who makes flimsy excuses coated with profanities. She must be one who smiles amidst hardships in life. She must be apologetic, too. She must have been reared in a simple nipa hut where the thoughts of ill-gotten wealth and stately mansion are quite remote. JAMES LAUREL ALLEGO Liberal Arts Bo n n ie N. Ca me l l o Liberal Arts As men want the best of wine and songs, so they do of women. My ideal woman should at least be presentable. She need not be pretty... but mind you, should be cute! She should not be the keep-off type but should be accommodating to everybody. She need not have the much-sought-after B-bank. I don’t care much about dough anyway. To hook a My Ideal Woman financially well-heeled woman is plain and simple cold-blooded opportunism. BONNIE N. CAMELLO Liberal Arts “My ideal girl? Well, to me, beauty in a girl isn’t everything. I’d prefer an average looking gal who carries herself with poise and dignity, possesses a good percentage of common sense, resourcefulness and a pound or two of kindness and understanding. She must know how to cook. To top it all, she must be a devout Catholic. I believe, faith is still the unshakable foundation of a happy home. ERDY LITONJUA Commerce My ideal combination woman must be a perfect of Beauty and Brains. She Do ming o Q. Ch a v e s , Jil Com merce must be schooled in a well-known Catholic school. She must be one who has been brought up and molded into a woman of irreproachable character. She must be one who shuns gossips, nightclubbing. She must be sweet, soft-spoken, shy but friendly. She must be one not spoiled by her success. DOMINGO <?. CHAVES. JR. Commerce My ideal woman must be a normal and an ordinary “kayumanggi" beauty. She must be a devoted Catholic, first of all because religious training will enhance her moral virtues. She must not be one who is always found at parties, jam-sessions and other social gatherings, tut rather one who stays at home. She must be simple not only in her way of dressing, but also in acting and talking. She must be obedient, honest and understanding. MARIANO M. LERIN Commerce Ma r ia n o M. Le r in Com merce If a woman says that it is very hard to find a “real” man nowadays, perhaps I am even more justified in saying that a “genuine” woman nowadays is a little harder, if not the hardest, to find considering that she is as pliant as the bamboo tree. My ideal woman? Well, (just in case heaven and earth will meet) she must be natural in looks, not artificial. She must not be selfadvertising. She should not be too much of an eye catcher. She must have deadly eyes to give the kicks and set my heart in bongo beats. Her hair must not be too short. She must know how to dress properly and be a good conversationalist.
