Any and all dogs come to show
By SYLVIA ORKAND
Longest ears, biggest feet,
and happiest faces were some
of the points that copped
honors for canines at the sixth
annual Any and All Dog Show
held Saturday at the College of
Veterinary Medicine.
Sponsored by the Wives’
Auxiliary of the Student
Chapter of the American
Veterinary Medical Associa
tion (SCAVMA) and 21 local
merchants, the show was
staged to benefit local public
elementary schools, according
to Betty Milam, a University
graduate student and elemen
tary school teacher who helped
judge the event.
Other judges were Wayne
Brubaker, a senior in the
College of Veterinary medicine
and Linda Smith, an Athens
school teacher
The show opened with a
costume parade in which first
place went to a
Schitauzer wearing a cowboy
shirt, hat, holster and pistol
Second place went to a large
dog sporting a t-shirt, a pair of
men’s underwear and a
Richard Nixon mask.
Top honors in the second
class, “most tricks,” were
captured by “Scruffy," who
shook hands, rolled over and
crawled on his belly to receive
treats from his master.
Bassett Hounds, Dobermans,
German Shepherds and Labra
dor Retrievers were among the
larger dogs who vied for first
place in the "Biggest Feet"
judging category
Next came the “Smallest
Dog” class, won by "Cricket,"
a two-year-old chihuahua who
weighed 27 ounces and wore a
woman’s bracelet as a collar
Cricket’s owner explained that
her dog had been “the runt of
the litter."
Subsequent classes included
“most colors,” "longest ears,"
“most scraggly dog" and
“longest nose .” Three Bassett
Hounds copped first, second
and third places in the
"longest ears” competition.
The two largest classes were
“waggiest tail" and "happiest
face," with 26 and 27 contes
tants, respectively. Judges
spent the mosl time delibera
ting in these categories, as
owners coaxed and prodded
their pets to "smile" and wag
their tails
The show concluded with a
"Winner s Parade’ in which a
"best overall dog" was chosen
from among all the lirst-place
recipients of the previous
classes
One of the show 's highlights
was an intermission presenta
tion led by Herb Morrison of
the Friendly Dog Training
School Morrison, who gives
dog obedience instruction at all
class levels, demonstrated
some obedience exercises,
using dogs which his school
had trained
"These are ovpr«lcoc thst
any doe can be taught to do-- if
taught with patience," Morrison
said "Any dog can be a
well-mannered pet with consis
tent training,” he added
According to Morrison, a
well-behaved dog should be
taught to sit. to wait in one
spot at his owner's command
lor several minutes, to walk on
a loose lead without forging
ahead, or lagging behind, and
to heel
"We like to teach our dogs to
retrieve, too." Morrison said
And everyone wants a dog
that will come when called .”
He said that difficulties some
times arise when owners try to
train their dogs to come
because "sometimes the dogs

Cindy Smith, a senior at the
University, said: “This isn’t
competition—it’s just fun But

"Sometimes AKC shows

Smith added “At regular
shows, the judges look at ears,
legs, stance, feet, toenails and
general conformation "
The dog's personality is also
important to the judges
according to Smith, who said
“they have to be able to come

"Tough,” "rude,” "aggres
sive," and "masculine” arc
adjectives that have been used
to describe successful women,
according to Dr Maija Blau-
bergs, assistant professor of
educational psychology at the
University. Blaubergs elabor
ated on these descriptions in a
discussion on the personality
characteristics of emminent
women during the Focus on
Women lecture last week
“1 suspect a biographical
analysis of women who suc
ceeded will find many ex
amples of just plain stubborn
ness, be it not giving up, or not
listning to others,” Blaubergs
said.
She cited herself as an
example of a woman who
persevered in her career
when others doubted she could
do it.
"My high school guidance
counselor said that because I
said that I wasn’t interested
in marriage. I'd be one of the
first to get married,” she said.
During adolescence girls
have expectations of what they
want to become but some
where they disappear, Blau
bergs feels. Teen-aged girls
think “the way to be attractive
to the opposite sex is to
suppress your capabilities,”
she added
An evaluation of successful
women indicates that many
people feel success adds a
masculine characteristic to
woman's personality, Blau
bergs said. "The ideal individ
ual of either sex is an equal
mixture; that is, androgyn
ous," she said.
Somehow the belief that a
successful woman is maladjus
ted has prevailed, Blaubergs

honored
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C.
(UPI)—Almost 10 years ago,
Ringo the dog was earning this
keep by jumping out of air
planes and floating down on a
parachute.
Ringo. a fat and lazy 16-year-
old greying around the muzzle,
made more than 5000 jumps
with his partner. Smokey, ac
cording to Earl Davis, who
trained the dogs and billed
them as the Jumping Tigers.
The dogs jumped for about six
years.
Smokey has since died,
struck by a school bus he had
run out to greet.
But Davis wants to honor the
dogs and plans to see if he can
get them listed in the Guiness
Book of World Records.
“There’s no dog team in that
world that parachutes,” he
said. “And these dogs have
jumped I don’t know how
many times. I quit counting at
5000 "
Davis, once a pilot and
skydiver, said he spent a year
rigging up harnesses for the
animals and developing the
proper type of parachute He
spent another year teaching
the dogs how to land and how
to jump from a plane.
“It’s really the simplest
thing you could imagine, but I
won't tell anybody how I did
it... unless they want to buy the
whole act,” he said.
One method was conditioning
the dogs to jump from gradua
ted heights to a canvas mat
He still has the harnesses,
parachutes and special uni
forms the animals wore, along
with a film showing Ringo
sitting in the plane, bailing out
with a white parachute opening
and then landing on all fours
with his tail wagging
“I don't think either of them
were scared I think they
really enjoyed it," Davis said
“They wouldn’t land wagging
their tails if they didn't enjoy
it “
said “Where does the belief in
the maladjustment of success
ful women arise?” she queried.
Women who step across the
lines of traditional sex roles
are considered more maladjus
ted than males who do the
same, Blaubergs said
Several studies show that
while personality characteris
tics of career-aspiring women
and Olympic champions are
different from the average,
these women are not malad
justed, Blaubergs emphasized
The findings of one study
indicate that, unfortunately, in
order to shun the masculine
characteristic associated with
achievement, many women
will marry, choose a partner
with overwhelming ambition.
or resort to a "feminine"
occupation, Blaubergs related
"There is definitely expecta
tion in culture that men are
more competent than women."
