CO A BY CHARLOTTE LITWACK GARDENS Dogs can be taught to stay away from flower beds and other forbidden areas of a garden. The secret lies in simple obedience, rather than in any technical training. The proof lies in the fact that there are countless homes where both dogs and gardens are enjoyed. The dogs have access to the garden's but, by supervision and correction, they have been taught to stay away from planting and shrubbery, If a dog is obedient in coming when called, and if he is continually called off certain places in the garden, he will soon learn that he is not to go there.

A low wire placed temporarily around planted sections will help get across the idea. Destructiveness comes from dogs which are turned loose and allowed free run without anyone to supervise and teach them right from wrong. bot weather a dog will often dig to make a cool place to lie in. Providing a shady place to rest and plenty of fresh water to drink will help prevent a dog digging to find comparative coolness. Some dogs have little exercise and get into the habit of digging as a way of expending energy.

In that case, frequent play and exercise helps curtail digging Since most house pets have little opportunity to wear their toenails naturally by running over hard, rough ground, they often have toenails that have grown overlong, unless they are regularly trimmed. This has led to the theory that dogs sometimes dig as a. means of wearing down uncomfortably long toenails. It is quite natural for a dog cognition project has appeared before the conference for several years in various forms. Two other proposals are new for consideration, however.

Only upperclassmen are now eligible for varsity athletics in the conference, but it is being proposed that threeyear varsity participaion be limited to baseball, basketball and football, thereby allowing freshmen to participate in other varsity sports. Recruiting comes in for considerable attention, including the adoption of several NCAA regulations which were approved at the national meeting last January. Among them is the banning of contracts or interviews with players in high school all-star games, either en route to the game and back home or during the time the athletes are at the site of the game. The committee on constitution and by-laws, of which Dr. 0.

K. Cornwell of North Carolina is chairman, will report. To be placed on the floor are proposed changes in the method of public announcement of reprimands or penalties imposed by the commissioner and in the term of ineligibility for a student or prospective student who violates ACC regulations. While the official meeting does 3, with Dean Geary Eppley of not open until 10 a.m. Friday, a May Maryland present as conference president, there is a full scale of group meetings which always accompany the spring session.

These actually begin in Chapel Hill Wednesday with the athletic directors meeting to discuss schedmatters at 10 a.m. Of additional interest will be the visit of two members of the Orange Bowl committee, Commissioner Weaver said. The Atlantic Coast Conference has a contract with the Orange Bowl and the Big Seven Conference to participate in the annual New Year's day football spectacle in Miami. to a 46 on the second nine after firing a respectable 38 on the front side. "It is no coincidence that these four players were roommates in Bob Toski, tournament committee chairman, said.

"It is my guess that one man brainwashed the other three." Supervisor Harvey Raynor said stiff penalties will continue to be the order until all players "learn to act like gentlemen." "The regrettable he added, "is that the actions of a few in a case like this can give the entire profession a black eye. "The tournament players almost to a man behave well. They resent such behavior. They know we owe much to the sponsors." Toski suggested: "This is a million dollar a year. business.

Where else can you go from man to a man in two weeks? "Conduct like this is enough to cause tournament sponsors to lose heart. I'm a player and I know the fellows like to play for $30,000 purses like the Louisville Bayer, Vossler, January and Higgins left last night for Fort Worth, scene of next week's Colonial Open, shortly after their high scores eliminated them from tomorrow's final 18 holes of the Derby meet. Their suspensions were the first since the PGA announced it would invoke penalties for unsportsmanlike conduct. Previous punishment has been fines for club throwing and such. "After all," Raynor said, "they can consider themselves fortunate that they got nothing worse.

The suspensions could have been longer, or they could have been banished from tournament he said. "I don't believe it would help amateurs--getting beat consistently by the pros." The best amateurs don't compare with the best pros, he contends. "Tennis isn't like golf," he pointed out. "'The difference between the top players and the good players in tennis is too great. I could never beat someone like Gonzales, for instance." In golf, you might shoot a low.

TALKING DOGS -Do dogs talk? No; at least not by the use of words, states the Gaines Dog Research Center. Researchers at the Center add that one of the delightful characteristics of the dog is his ability to be eloquent and responsive without being a chatterbox. Although some dogs have been taught by signal or incentive to bark in a certain way that may sound like actual words to a doting owner, dogs have no way of using words to express their own feelings. A dog's vocal expression lies in his bark. By its tone and emphasis, he expresses joy, anticipation, or the presence of danger.

He can express lone. liness in his howl, growl in warning, or indicate the ardor of the chase. And to the hound man, there is no man-made music as the voices of hounds rolling over the hills. Dogs talk principally by their expression, adds the Center. There is the happy sparkle in a dog's face when he welcomes his owner, and the crestfallen expression of sorrow when he is left behind.

The grieving dog shows his feelings plainly by his expression and actions. However, warns the Center, don't make the mistake of thinking that your dog "knows he is guilty" when he is scolded for something he's done long past. If you look at your dog in an angry way and say any. thing- even sweet nothings--in a terrifying tone of he will look guilty, not because he knows. why, but because of your tone of voice.
