Annual Meel
Dr. Leighton Speaks
On Complexities oJ
Modern Teaching
Monday
The complexities of mnileri
teaching wore described by Dr.
Ralph W. 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.

Andy Smith’s “wonder” teams,
leads the fur western loop with
four wins and neither a defeat or

Braise California
In California, the football faith
ful, 50,000 strong, gleefully shouted
the praise of California to the grid
iron world, and bac ked their un
beaten powerhouse to storm the
Rose Bowl citadel and there crush
the best team of the nation on New
Year’s day.
In two other western fronts,
leading conference teams, battling
to stay on the tail of the Bear in
the coast flag chase, battled to j
ties under adverse conditions.

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.

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.
There was a riot not so long ago,
as you will remember and quite a
spectacular fire Sunday night.
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.
