Leighton, dean of the University school of physical edu cation at the second annual region al conference of the Oregon State Teachers’ association which opened Monday morning in McArthur court. Dirge Attendance Unofficial estimates placed the attendance at over 1200 at the opening sessions of the two-day conclave. Representatives from Lane, Ben ton, Coos, Douglas, and Linn coun ties were present and were met and greeted by Mrs. Lucy Rodgers, president of the association. Fol lowing registration, the teachers opened the conference by meeting in county divisions to discuss busi nss matters. Putnam Speaks “Teaching is no longer regarded as a stepping stone to some other profession, but is now dominated by vigorous men and women who regard it as their life work,” de clared Rex Putnam, state superin tendent of public instruction. Requirements for teacher’s cer tificates have been raised and more are being considered as a result of the initiative displayed by the teachers themselves, with a result ant pay increase in the offing, ac cording to Putnam. Casteel Talks Dr. W. E. Armstrong, dean of the school of education at Mills college, California, also addressed the group, as did John Casteel, of the University speech department, who spoke on “Voice, Nerves and Knowledge." According to Casteel, nervous tension in the voice is the fault of most teachers and can be overcome by listening to one's speech and tackling the emotional habits it betrays. Visitors Entertained Among the entertainments that are planned for the visitors was a banquet at the First Baptist church and an informal dance at Gerlinger hall last night. The con clave closes at 3 p.m. today.

Scribe Defines Words Heard Here !n There By WEN BROOKS The acquisitive minds of some collegians are forever wanting definitions, wanting to know ex actly what such-and-such is, or stands for. There appears to be a crying need in this “uncertain world’’ for sureness, whatever that is,. With this need in mind I am attempting to define as in definitely as possible a few of the words so frequently used on the cam dus . . . LIFE is what you make it. LOVE is a different matter. It may be termed an elusive sub stance which once grasped often leaves the grabber with nothing much. IF is a word. A very handy word, much used, abused and over-used. CASH: there never seems to be any, so why worry. A TOUCH: something hard to make; harder to pay back. A COED: a member of a dis tinct species. Something to be tolerated, ignored, looked at and enjoyed ... all in due time. JOE COLLEGE: a member of an almost extinct species, fast fading from the American scene. Joe is being replaced by EILL STUFF, an ambitiously indifferent lad who is to be ig nored, tolerated, looked at and enjoyed as the mood strikes you. A DANCE: something to be attended because everybody goes. An affair at which one has a good, bad, poor or indifferent time and to which one is accom panied by a member of the oppo site sex. Both in the party strug gle, sway, swear (under their collective breaths) and in gen eral frequently enjoy themselves . . . better when the thing’s over. A BLIND: is usual undesir able. CLASSES: congregations of students who are attempting to catch up on their sleep. PROB’ESSORS: campus idio syncracies taken for granted along with an EDUCATION: you answer that one.

Fire Sweeps EFGA (Continued from pac/e one) A woman from Texas, striving! for a closer view, was unceremon- j iously drenched when she stepped ! over a hose just as the connection broke. Hallowe’en pranks hit a new low in the city as youngsters and also ; alder Oregon jokesters were occu pied at the fire. Appropriately for the occasion, Hallowe’en night, j flames from galvanized trays gave off eerie blue and green colorings. Camera-Wise Urged to Get y In on Contest Students interested in photogra phy with a knack for the candid shot are urged to get in on the contest sponsored by the Carl Ba ker film shop and the Oregana. The contest closes November 11. Louise Aiken, contest manager, points out that there has been a wealth of material for good pic tures about the campus lately.

A prize of $5 is being offered for the best picture taken at night, to be entered in the pictorial section. Pictures should be turned in at _ the ASUO office in the Oregana shack immediately. Students may advantageously find themselves even “going to the dogs.” Miss Aiken would like to see some good snaps of the campus pets entered.
