Administered through Penn State's Population Research Institute, the grant will provide graduate students with tuition and stipend support during the 1999-2004 period. Penn State is one of only 10 universities with an NIH-supported training program in demography. The demography program at Penn State is one of the largest demography training programs in the United States. When it comes to maintaining summer lawns, the less you do the better, says a turfgrass specialist in Penn State's College of Agricultural Sciences.
Grasses usually go into a semi-dormant state and are vulnerable to disturbance.
The tough season for grass in the Northeast is mid-June to the end of August, Landschoot explains. But lawns generally recover when cool temperatures and moisture return in September. The 95th renewal of the Penn State-Pittsburgh clash on the gridiron will be televised by ESPN to a national audience. The telecast is the sixth announced TV appearance of the season for the Nittany Lions, who have appeared on television 55 times in their last 56 games, including all 12 contests in 1998. Arizona, which was 12-1 last year, will be the Nittany Lions' season opening opponent in the Pigskin Classic in Beaver Stadium.
