UNIVERSITY PARK -
The future of Penn State’s
dairy cattle judging team
looks brighter than ever
primarily through the efforst
of interested alumni and
others who are members of
the fledgling Penn State
Dairymen’s Club.
The Penn State
Dairymen’s Club, whose
stated purpose is to promote
the dairy curriculum at
Penn State and support
students and faculty, voted
at third annual meeting
last Friday to establish a
$5,000 endowment for the
purpose of providing
monetary support to the
dairy cattle judging team.
The endowment has been
established through the Of

the interest from the fund to
be used to provide money to
meet partial travel expenses
for students qualifying as
members of the dairy cattle
judging team and to help
with training students.
As funds have become
more and more restricted,
the amount of money
available for judging team
use through the University
has dwindled and students
have been meeting part of
the expense themselves. The
Penn State Dairymen’s club
is hoping to provide funding
so the team has adequate
funds for travel and training.
As established, contribu
tions may be made to the en
dowment through the Penn

must reach $40,000 to $50,000

ST. LOUIS, Mo. -
Soybean growers have urged
the U.S. Department of
Energy to sponsor research
in the use of vegetable oils
particularly soybean oil as a
substitute or extender for
diesel fuel.
In a letter to Department
of Energy Secretary Charles
W. Duncan Jr., American
Soybean Association
President Allan Aves said
limited research already
conducted has proven that
soybean oil will power diesel
engines. However, Aves
said, we need more research
to understand the long-term
effects of soy oil on an
engine.
Aves cited preliminary
