UNIVERSITY PARK (Centre Co.) The northeastern section of the American Society of Ani mal Science/American Dairy Sci ence Association has presented Ronald S. Kensinger its Young Scientist Award at its recent meet ing at the University of Maryland, College Park. The Young Scientist Award re cognizes Kensinger, associate professQr of animal nutrition phy siology in Penn State’s Depart ment of Dairy and Animal Sci ence, for his contributions to the animal sciences in teaching, ex tension, and research. Kensinger is one of a new breed Ag Advocates Promote UNIVERSITY PARK (Centre Co.) While other industries have cut back in response to the recession, agriculture has contin ued to grow. In the coming aca demic year, a group of Penn State students will work to inform the public about opportunities in the nation’s number-one industry. Thirteen undergraduates in the College of Agricultural Sciences will serve as ag advocates. They will support the college’s efforts to enhance the image of agricul ture and recruit highly qualified students. They also will help alumni and friends stay in touch with college programs and devel opments. “More agricultural scientists are needed to improve food and fi ber production in the United States,” said Dr. Marianne Hous er, instructor in agricultural edu cation and adviser for the pro gram. “Students in the College of Agricultural Sciences receive training in diverse areas such as horticulture, veterinary science, and environmental resource man agement,” she said. “Graduates have excellent career opportuni ties.” The 1993-1994 Ag Advocates come from both urban and rural BARN COOLER FANS 20”. 24”. & 36” IN STOCK COOL DOWN WITH A COOL PRICE See Us At The Penn State Animal Housing Expo - July 13 & 14, 1993 At the Lebanon Fairgrounds Cedar Crest Equipment ,Two Convenient Locations |||llC| 608 Evergreen Rd.

Kensinger’s research on somatotropin, growth factors, mammary cells, and control of lactogenesis in the pig has helped to overcome some of the obstacles which limit the efficiency of ani mal productivity. He has received support from swine producer or ganizations, attesting to the value of this research. He teaches at both the under graduate and graduate levels and participates in a number of activi ties, including advising under- areas of Pennsylvania and repre sent several academic depart ments in the College of Agricul ture Sciences. They are: • Catherine Dawson of Allen town, a senior majoring in en vironmental resource manage ment • Aimee Eopechino of Hanover, a senior majoring in food science • Michael Gainer of Erie, a jun ior majoring in agricultural sci- ence • Christa Garcia of Allentown, a junior majoring in animal biosci ence and minoring in wildlife and fisheries science • Barbara Hart of Aliquippa, a junior majoring in animal biosci ence • Jayne Nadine Hess of Gettys burg, a sophomore majoring in agricultural science and minoring in English • Jennifer Kay Hummel of Dun cannon, a sophomore majoring in agricultural science • David Lentz of Lebanon, a senior majoring in dairy and ani mal science • Jeffrey Ozarski of Downing town, a senior majoring in en vironmental resource manage ment • Shannon Peterman of Muncy, a junior majoring in agricultural SCHAEFER 'Hrntf/sfro* WILL SHIP ANYWHERE Receive Year-Round Benefits For You And Your Livestock w/a Schaeffer Barn Kooler RD 2 BOX 271 East Earl, PA 17519 (717) 354-0584 1 Ronald S.

Kensinger recently spent a year-long sabbatical leave at the University of California, Santa Cruz, where his work focused on contemporary techniques in mole cular biology, making important scientific contacts, and further re fining his skills in grant proposal preparation. Through ongoing research at Penn State, Kensinger seeks to in crease weaning the weight of pig lets. A statistic of economic im portance to pork producers the ASSUMPTION, 111. Alrstream Dryer division of Grain Systems, Inc. (GSI) has introduced an innovative, more efficient line of dryers. A standard feature on all 1993 Alrstream dryers Is the New Computerized Electronic Monitoring Control System. This control system totally eliminates the troublesome tim ers and mechanical control relays which are typically used to control batch, staged batch, and continuous flow grain dryers. The controller Is capable of continually monitoring and controlling more than 100 dryer functions while providing the dryer operator with Instant dryer Information on a large liquid crystal display. Memory features incorporated Into the unit maintains a history of past dryer operation, dryer throughput, and dryer service. The control system is designed to greatly simplify dryer operation while providing a safer, more troublefree dryer.
