People want grass to be relatively green and

The two-year turf management program teaches
students how to deal with lawn problems and lawn

industry is a relatively new and fast-growing area
that also employs turf managers, Duich said.
Duich is working with different methods of turf
care to control the speed and "trueness" of a golf

When breeding different types of grass, Duich
said he looks for resistance to disease, control of
color, mowability if the grass can be cut cleanly
and density.
"The biggest thing people object to is having to
mow the lawn so much," Duich said.
One of the problems with people's lawns is that
they are allowed to grow to high, and are then
mowed too short, Duich said. The rotary mower
allows this to happen because the grass can be
chopped off in one mowing, he said.
With "real mowers," people did not dare to let
the grass grow too high. If they did, it would need to
be raked and then mowed again, he said.
Other problems include planting in poor soil,
seeding with inappropriate grasses, weed infesta
tion, and mowing too close to the ground.

PSU Food Science prof
is No. 1 ice cream man
By MARK KIRBY
Collegian Staff Writer
When Phillip Keeney was grow
ing up on a dairy farm in New
Jersey, he probably never thought
people would someday be refer
ring to hini as the nation's No. 1
ice cream expert.
But his notoriety and expertise
in the field of ice cream have
earned the University's Food Sci
ence department head this title.
From his years of experience,
Keeney said, he has noticed seve
ral trends in both favorites and
consumption of this favorite des
sert.
Commenting on one of the favor
ite stops for every student, parent
or tourist, Keeney said the Univer
sity Creamery produces about
100,000 gallons annually.
But 100,000 gallons is not a lot of
ice cream compared to the mil
lions of gallons produced by. major
companies each year, he said.
Of all these 100,000 gallons pro
duced annually, Keeney said that
student favorites are bittersweet
mint, coconut chip, cherryquist,
peanut butter ripple, vanilla and
chocolate.
Consumption of these favorites,
as well as all ice cream, varies
with the weather, Keeney ex
plained. He estimated that 15 per
cent of the Creamery's yearly
output is consumed in July, as
opposed to 5 percent in January.
But whatever the season, super
premium ice creams are the cur
rent trend, he said.
Keeney said that the "tendency
of Americans is that something
from Europe is better."
But foreign ice cream represen
tatives have told Keeney that
American ice cream is superior.
Ice creams such as Haagen-Daz
and Frusen Gladje have 60 to 100

An informal gathering will be planned for
all participants after the study is completed,
Smyer said. The survey is not receiving
funding, so the participants cannot be paid,
Smyer said.
Gunhild 0. Hagestad, assistant professor of
human development, will be processing data
collected, from the study. In addition, some
graduate and advanced undergraduate stu
dents will also be working on the study,
conducting interviews and working on- ad

percent more fat and less air than
regular ice creams. But Keeney
noted that Haagen-Daz and Fru
sen Gladje are not European in
ventions, but names made up by
their companies. Haagen-Daz, for
example, was invented in the
Brohx, he said.
Contrary to popular belief, ice
cream is not fattening a typical
cone has roughly 150 calories
which is comparable to a can of
beer, he said.
Regular ice cream is 60 percent
water, whereas diet ice cream is
70 to 80 percent water.
The latest break-through in ice
cream is the use of improved
gums, the materials that keep the
water mobilized in ice cream,
Keeney said. The newer gums
increase ice cream storage life
and keep it fresher.
He has taught a 10-day ice
cream course at the University for
the past 28 summers. The course
attracts ice cream representa
tives from across the country and
covers topics such as formula
tions, ingredients, processing and
food science technology.
In 1949, Keeney earned his bach
elor of science degree in dairy
technology from the University of
Nebraska. Later, he • worked for
two years in a• Minnesota milk
drying plant as an assistant man
ager before going to Ohio Univer
sity, where he earn his master's
degree in dairy technology.
He received
. his doctorate in
dairy science from Penn State in
1955 and began working in the
University's dairy department.
Keeney has appeared on the
Today show and several other talk
shows and was featured in the July
4 issue, of People magazine. Kee
ney said that his family "thought
it was great" when he appeared in
the national publication.

Judges may be
Move would require constitutional amendment by state Senate
By BEVERLY M. PAYTON
Collegian Staff Writer
A constitutional amendment providing for merit
selection of appellate court judges, rejected in 1969,
may again have its day in court if a bill before the
state Senate wins judiciary committee approval.
Supporters of merit selection say it would re
move judges from involvement in partisan politics.
Merit selection of judges would require a consti
tutional amendment or approval by a two-thirds
majority in both houses of two successive sessions
of the legislature. The senate is expected to vote on
the bill this fall. However, final approval would be
determined by the voters on a statewide referen
dum. •
Last month a joint resolution was introduced by
state Sen. Robert C. Jubelirer, R-Blair County,
proposing an amendment to the Pennsylvania
constitution providing for merit selection of su
preme, superior, and commonwealth court judges.
"Concern has been expressed about the expen
sive campaigning and advertising and the increas
ing need for judicial candidates to solicit
contributions and partisan endorsements . . . and
that those who set their sights on a higher judicial
post may feel compelled to enter controversy or
issue a dramatic ruling as a means of gaining
public notoriety," Jubelirer said in his petition to
the senate in May.
`Too many young,
inexperienced people right
'out of law school get voted
into appellate courts.'
—Judge Joseph F. O'Kicki,
Johnstown
States using merit selection establish a judicial
selection committee to screen candidates and rec
ommend a list of qualified persons to the governor.
The governor then makes an appointment from one
of the names on the list. At the end of a short term
the appointee runs in a retention election in which
the voters decide whether the judge shall remain in
office. If retained, he remains in office for a longer
term, usually from 10 to 12 years.
"My gut reaction is that it's going to be an uphill
fight," said David Atkinson, executive assistant to
Jubelirer.
At a public hearing held on July 13 to discuss
merit selection, the judiciary committee itself was
divided on the issue, he said. Some agree with the
merit selection plan philosophically, but fear that it
would not work out in practice.
Those favoring merit selection of judges com
pare the current partisan election selection process
to a lottery.
"If asked who was running, I think most constitu
ents would be hard pressed to provide names, much
less'discuss qualifications," Jubelirer stated in his
petition.
Pennsylvania voters had to decide among 34
candidates seeking nine vacancies on the three
courts during the May primary elections. Seven
competed for one seat on the Supreme Court, 17 for
five seats on the Superior Court, and 11 for three
vacancies on the Commonwealth court.
The Pennsylvania Bar Association, in an attempt
to assist voters in making informed choices, had its
judiciary committee issue "ratings" of the candi
dates before the election.
Each candidate was asked to complete an 11-
page questionnaire, which covered all phases of his
business, professional, and personal life, and in
cluded an authorization form, allowing other insti
tutions to release files, records and credit reports.
In addition, a two-person investigating team was
assigned to each candidate to conduct interviews
with persons familiar with his qualifications. The
bar then issued its evaluations for each candidate
based on catagories of competence, temperament,
integrity and a category it called "special qualifi
cations.".
Despite this effort, fewer than one in 10 voters
knew the names of any appellate court candidates
before going to the polls, according to a poll by
Sindlinger and Company, a political and economic
polling firm.
Moreover, about 90 percent of those polled said
they spent little or no time studying the qualifica
tions and background of appellate court candi
dates.
Judge Joseph F. O'Kicki, from Johnstown, who
has 11 years of experience on the trial court bench,
resigned his membership in the Pennsylvania Bar.
Association because he felt its rating system "fol
lowed the same pattern of subjective evaluation
that is followed by the two major parties.".
While he was rated as "well-qualified" as a /
candidate for Superior Court, he called the rating of /
two of his colleagues whom the bar deemed not
qualified "ludicrous." ,
O'Kicki said he believes any system of merit
selection would still retain political overtones, but

y The Meaning And Purpose Of Life
yOne of the beer companies recently advertised, "You only go around

Well, Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived, used his wisdom to find
the real meaning and purpose of life. He was vastly wealthly and denied
himself nothing. He surrounded himself with entertainers, land, cattle,
possessions, and servants--and yet, he concluded it was empty and
meaningless because man soon dies and leaves it all to someone else.
..Then he faces God in judgement.
So Solomon concluded, "Fear God and keep his commandments for, this

`My gut reaction is that it's
going to be an uphill fight.'
—David Atkinson, executive
assistant to state Sen. Robert C.
• Jubelirer, R-Blair County
he concedes that Pennsylvania "needs a change."
He proposes selecting judges on a regional basis
that he says would provide fewer candidates, and
allow the voters to be more familiar with them.
He would also like to see certain minimum
selection criteria established, specifically with
regard to the amount of trial court experience a
candidate for an appellate court must have before
being considered.
O'Kicki also said he thinks a minimum age
requirement should be established for appellate
court candidates.
"Too many young, inexperienced people right out
of law school get voted into appellate courts," he
said.
James Eisenstein, University professor of politi
cal science, said, "You can never eliminate politics
from the judicial process; the question is whose
politics do you want to play?"
With merit selection, you simply change the
politics, diminishing the power of the political
parties and enhancing the power of the governor,
Eisenstein said.
Eisenstein also said that nominating committees
and governors can influence the selection process
by playing certain nominating games. For in
stance, the commission can "load" or "rig" the
panel of nominees with names they know the
governor will not pick because they are either
political enemies or are of the opposite political
party. The governor would thus be forced to pick
the nominee favored by the committee.
Atkinson said the senate judiciary committee is
still working out the specifics for a merit rating
plan. They must still decide who would be on the
nominating committee, how many choices would
they present to the governor, and what criteria
would be used in evaluating candidates.
"Right now we are 'trying to come up with a
broad-based, bipartisan selection panel composed
of four legislative leaders, two common pleas court
judges, and two members of the bar," Atkinson
said. "The governor would also pick three citizens
to sit on the panel."
