Rick Hird, Lawrence senior, says the group of three dogs he owns is the "strangest group of dogs they'll ever see." Hird brings his
dogs to campus regularly and says that when they have an audience, they'll play for hours.
Campus canines' status disputed

Whether as status symbols or between-class companions, dogs have become part of our daily lives.
There are objections to rowdy and
barking dogs, but students still bring them for
them.
"I bring Rebecca because she follows me, and she won't stay at home," Diane Adreon, St. Louis junior, said Tuesday. "She'll even follow the bus if I'm on it."
Rich Hird, Lawrence senior, said he regularly brings his three dogs to campus
"It's a great educational experience for both logos and a good chance to get exercises," he said.
Another owner said his dog enjoyed the peoole.
"He enjoys meeting people," the owner said. "A lot of people like to see friendly dogs. They get pleasure from him, he gets pleasure from them."
Sharon Brehm, assistant professor of
gaming at the University of Chicago,
so they could have something to care for.
Students are biologically equipped to have families, she said, but they don't.
"Presunably there's a biological necessity to have something to take care
of," she said. "The student has not just himself to take care of, but takes, 'Here is that other being to take care of.' It's a really neat experience."
Dogs that aren't under the control of their owners while in the city limits are in violation of the ordinance, according to Mickey Allen, assistant city attorney.
"If you leave the animal tied to a tree or let it run a block ahead of you, it isn't under the control of the owner," he said. "That's the way the city is enforcing it now."
A canine control officer takes the dogs he picks up to the Lawsuit Human Society.
Jane Hellstrom, an employee of the Humane Society, said $10 was charged to claim the dog the first full day she was left on the farm, even when it included weekends, until 72 hours had passed. Then the Humane Society has the alternative to adopt the dog or put it to rest.
Allen explained that the control officer didn't pick up a dog on the KU campus unless a complaint had been made against a dog or a group of dogs. The officer doesn't go around looking to pick up dogs leashed to trees, he said.
According to the ordinance, female dogs
Vegetable gardens spread
There has been an increased interest in gardening during the past several years in the suburban areas.
The increased interest in gardening has prompted some apartment complexes around Lawrence to provide space for gardening to their residents.
A recent Gallup Poll shows that 51 per cent of all households in the United States will have some kind of vegetable garden this year.
This is the third year that 20-foot square garden plots were made available to the residents of Stouffer Place. There are 129 plots at Stouffer and all but three have been assigned. Judy LaFollette, secretary in the KU housing office, said yesterday.
RESIDENTS of Pine Tree Townhouses, 149 Pine Drive, are allowed two-foot-wide gardens around their patios, provided they restore them to grass before they
The city of Lawrence has also made garden plots available in the 800 block of Pennsylvania and at the intersection of E. Glen Drive and Harper. The city charges $2 rent on the 20-foot-square plots and the garden has use of the plot until the end of
the summer. The city offered 25 plots for rent and still has about 10 plots available
The current resurgence of gardening in the United States is reminiscent of the popularity it enjoyed during the Great Depression and World War II.
Robert Nunley, professor of geography, said there hadn't been a good study conducted to weed out the causes of the present popularity gardening enjoys. Nunley said it is important that people take care of including environmental concern, the natural food fad and the hindie movement.
"People also get a sense of fulfillment out of producing part of the food they consume." Nunley said. "We have 5,000 years of gardening experience behind us. It's part of our instincts and it ties us back to nature."
The economy is also a factor, he said. With very little work, an average family can reduce its annual food bill by $300, according to Nunley.
in heat must be kept in an secure encure
enough to keep other dogs out. Allen said.
"The purpose of this is to prevent 20 or 30 male dogs running together from getting into traffic."
E. Jackson Baur, professor of sociology, said, "People that have dogs should leave them at home. I worry about loose dogs around together and billing someone."
Nunley said he planted part of his garden in late February this year and many of his plants were several inches high already. He said his garden was approximately 180 by 100 feet and had vegetables and some strawberry plants.
A loose dog bit a dog belonging to Jan Newton, Harper sophomore, as she walked him home on a leash Tuesday. The loose dog was not allowed to draw blood from her dog's forstick.
"I tried to scare him off, but I was afraid I was going to get bit." Newton said.
"I have to go over and shut those windows now, making all of us suffer, so that one person can have her status symbol on campus." he said.
Calder Pickett, professor of journalism, complained about trying to teach class last week over the insistent barking of a dog tied up in a corner below one of his classroom's windows.
Despite the threats of barking and biting dogs, some faculty members said they didn't mind dogs on campus. The only reason they say, is that the dogs should be leashed
"I've had dogs brought to my classes and I've liked them," Bremh said. "If the dog is with its owner in class, it causes less commotion. The problem comes from having to lock the dogs outside the building."
Brehm said she would like to see a strictly enforced leash law. Then all owners who wanted to could bring their leashed dogs on campus, she said.
Baur said two dogs had been brought into classroom when he had been teaching.
If someone wants to take an excursion through a huge greenhouse offering a wild assortment of tropical plants, he'll have to leave the city. The variety of Kansas doesn't have such facilities.
"In each case, they've been quiet and well restrained," he said.
"I have occasionally brought my own dog to my office at night, but very rarely. When I'm working and leaving him alone, he gets restless and starts to whine.
The University used to have a conservatory, the Buildings and Grounds greenhouse, but that was torn down when Wescock Hall was built.
"I expect that he'd be happier if I brought him up when there were people here."
The only facility now used as a greenhouse is located on West Campus and is situated on the grounds.
"When they built Wesco Hall they tore down the old green屋舍, which were old and falling apart," Ronald McGregor, professor of botany, said last week.
He said that the current greenhouse, which measures about 100 feet by 46 feet, is nearly the size of a barn.
Former Chancellor E. Laurence Chalmers, Jr., explicitly stated that the greenhouse was to be used for research purposes only, McGregor said.
KU without tropical greenhouse
William Bloom, assistant professor of botany, said that many universities had tropical and ornamental plants for research purposes.
McGregor said those types of con-
servation are usually found at agricultural schools.
"If a person walked through our greenhouse he might find one or two spaces to grow."
Bloom and McGregor said insufficient funds caused the lack of a public conference.
Bloom said the caretaking of a conservatory required the services of a person who had no prior experience.
A part-time student position was budgeted within the last year for the caretaking of species in the greenhouse, Bloom said. But that position isn't yearround and the existing species are research products for the biology classes.
There are two types of greenhouses, according to Bloom. The first type is more
"The first is a greenhouse which contains
Student clerk held at gunpoint during robbery
Three teenagers held a University of Kentucky football game on Saturday when about $490 and six cases of beer Wednesday when they robbed oweens Liquor Store, 910 N. 2nd, Lawrence police said yesterday.
No arrests have been made.
The student told the robbers where the money was, then he was told to go to the back room and stay there. The robbers then left.
The KU student, a store clerk, told police he was behind the counter of the store at 10:30 p.m. when two long-haired males, each about 16 or 17-years-old, entered the store. According to the Student, one youth pointed a bolt-action gun or rifle at him, and the man fled before they were kept. A third suspect waited outside the store with a long-barreled weapon.

a lot of diverse species," he said. "The kind people often grow in their houses. The purpose for that greenhouse is in the interest of the community."
The second type, he said, is used for the propagation and preservation of endangered species. He said that some universities specialize in studying a certain plankton.
But Bloom said those people were very but because they required a lot of expert help.

He said that there had been a recent increase in interest at KU in a conservatory for the propagation of various species, but that no one in the botany department was interested in developing a collection of that sort.
