In a ftin event for horse lovers at Ag Progress Days, called "Bucking the Bosses," top
Penn State University officials left the ivory halls of education for a short time Wednesday
afternoon, to compete on horseback. From left, Dr. Robert Steele, ag college dean rode an
Appaloosa; Dr. Terry Etherton, dairy and animal science department head, rode a Friesian;
and Dr. Graham Spanier, university president, rode a quarter horse. The officials were great
sports, and the crowd loved it, even if the riders didn't always get the horses to follow the
designated course layout Photo by Everett Newswanger, editor.
