they could not find lodging.
Erickson said the study also
showed that Penn State football is
a "very stable family-oriented ac
tivity." The respondents held on
the average 3.4 season tickets for
10.8 years.
Geoffrey Godbey, professor in
the Department of Recreation and
Parks, said that it is believed
"that when one experiences some
thing only once, they're likely to
spend more money than if they do
it routinely." So the research team
was interested in the fact that
Penn State football generated so
much money even though it is a
"ritual".
Many times fans traveled to
State College with people that
didn't attend the football games.
The survey showed that 13 percent
of the fans were accompanied by
people who didn't go to the con
tests, and 70 percent of these peo
ple reported shopping locally.
The study was based on ques
tionaires sent to 1,974 season ticket
holders (85 percent of whom re
sponded) after last year's Notre
Dame game. It only reflects
spending by the 41,500 season tick
et holders and 12,400 other fans
that reside at least 25 miles out
side of State College.

Assisting in the study were
Frank Guadagnolo, acting chair of
the Department of Recreation and
Parks; Godbey; William D. An
derson, assistant director of the
Center for Regional Business
Analysis; and Alan Graefe, asso
ciate professor in the Department
of Recreation and Parks.
Godbey, Guadagnalo and
Graefe are part of Penn State's
new Center for Travel and Tou
rism Research. Erickson said that
this survey was a good initial
project for the new center.
"It was a very good vehicle for
moving the initial research pro
gram to the new Center for Travel
and Tourism Research that's tak
ing shape in the College of Health
and Human Development," Erick
son said.
Erickson said the study is not
complete, and that he and his
colleagues are "looking toward
the publication of not only results
but a number of methodological
issues and a number of hypotheses
about travel and tourism that we
believe are going to flow from this
effort.
"The project is not done by any
means, we've just begun to mine
the wealth of data that was pro
vided to us by the Penn State
season ticket holders."

Gypsy
Student's
By JEANNETTE GIBSON
Collegian Science Writer
Mark Ticehurst, a University entomology student,
offers a unique natural method of gypsy moth control.
He sells wasps that do only one thing they kill the
caterpillars.
Ticehurst, a doctoral student, runs the National
Gypsy Moth Management Group Inc., located in Land
isburg, Pa. The company's products include two spe
cies of wasps which are parasites to gypsy moth
caterpillars.
"The insects (that we produce) occur naturally in
other parts of the world," Ticehurst said. "We import
one from India and one from Korea, and breed them
here."
The wasps, which are as thin as the lead in a
mechanical pencil and only one-eighth to one-fourth of
an inch in length, do not harm any organisms other
than gypsy moths and go virtually unnoticed in the
areas in which they are introduced, Ticehurst said.
C.W. Pitts, head of the University's Department of
Entomology, noted the chronic problem of gypsy moth
infestation and the role that parasites play in their
control.
"We will never be totally free of gypsy moth caterpil
lars," Pitts said. "Our goal is to prevent them from
causing a total defoliation state."
Pitts said although parasites are not the solution to
the control of gypsy moth caterpillars by themselves,
they are certainly a strong asset.
Ticehurst said the two species of wasps his company
produces have slightly different life cycles, but each
follows a similar pattern.
"When the female stings a gypsy moth caterpillar, it

lays one or several eggs depending on the species
in the body of the caterpillar," Ticehurst said.
"One day later the eggs hatch into parasite larvae
that feed on the gypsy moths internally for 10 to 15
days, after which time they emerge from the dying
caterpillars and spin cocoons around themselves," he.
said. "Later they emerge from the cocoons as adults
and the cycle repeats itself."
Ticehurst said his company is the only commercial
producer of the wasps, which are sold primarily to the
Virginia State Department of Agriculture and Consum
er Services.
"We are primarily a wholesaler to the government
now, but we hope to get into retail in the future,"
Ticehurst said, adding that his company offers consult-.
ing services to customers as well.
Ticehurst explained that beginning in the early 1900 s,
shortly after gypsy moths were introduced into this
country and became a problem, the U.S. Department
of Agriculture and state agriculture agencies were
playing the major role in raising and distributing the
insects.
"The Department of Agriculture and the state agri
culture agencies provided funds to state government
laboratories for the mass production and release of the
parasites," Ticehurst said.
"In the early 'Bos these funds were reduced, the state
governments received less money, and the process of
production arid distribution of the parasites was slowed
down," he added.
In 1983, Ticehurst established the Management
Group to provide the needed gypsy moth control
parasites.

Del.'s ladybugs
horde beaches,
feed on aphids
DOVER, Del. (AP) Itsy-bitsy,
teeny-weeny polka-dotted ladybugs
are inundating Delaware beaches.
"They would come in hordes and
attack you while you were on the
beach. I'M not kidding," said Pam
Denny, 19, of Dover.
But ladybugs, which entomologists
call ladybeetles, are helpful because
they feed on aphids, according to.
Paul Schaefer, a Department of Agri
culture research entomologist at the
Beneficial Insects Research Labo
ratory, which is affiliated with the
University of Delaware.
"The more the merrier," said Jay
Windsor, the Sussex County agent
from the University of Delaware ex
tension service.
Aphids attack important ornamen
tal trees, such as maples and oaks.
Since at least last week, the lady
bugs, carried by easterly winds, have
been covering the Delaware shore.
Most are coming from alfalfa, pea
and red-clover fields, where they
have been feeding on aphids.
The red, black-spotted insects have
gone to the beach to dine before. In
1984, Schaefer said, he found 2,300
ladybugs in a one-meter-long sample
along the beach.
Ladybugs were imported from In
dia and France to fight aphids in the
early 19605. They disappeared for
several years, reappeared, and then
were distributed around the country
by a colleague of Schaefer's.
