was close behind at 79. In all
people could choose from 11 ice
cream and 2 yogurt flavors.
Though only 11 options were
available at this sale, new fla
vors are always being created,
and visitors may wonder how
names are chosen. Some pay
tribute to Penn State faculty
who have made outstanding con
tributions to higher education.
Cherryquist, for instance, a
creamy black cherry and vanilla
ice cream, is named for John
Almquist, professor emeritus of
dairy science and the 1982 win
ner of the Wolf Prize the highest
awarded in agricultural science.
Keeney Beany, a double choco
late ice cream with chocolate
chunks, pays tribute to
Professor Emeritus Philip
Keeney, a nationally recognized
teacher and scientist in ice
cream and chocolate technology.
A more recent addition, Peachy
Patemo, was named to honor
Penn State's famous football
coach.
At the morning pick up in
