AMES, Iowa -- Awards of Merit were presented recently to Iowa State University College of Agriculture faculty members by the Iowa Chapter of the Honor Society of Agriculture, known as Gamma Sigma Delta.

Kenneth Larson of Ames received the Distinguished Service to Agriculture Award. He was at both North Dakota State University and the University of Missouri before coming to Iowa State University in 1983 as associate dean of academic programs. After five years in that position, he moved to the agronomy department as a teacher and adviser.

Three Mission Awards were presented. The Research Award went to Richard Robson, a professor of biochemistry and animal science. W. Wade Miller in agricultural education and studies received the Teaching Award. The Extension Award went to Regis Voss in agronomy, who is retiring at the end of June after 33 years at ISU.

New chapter officers were elected. Robert Martin, agricultural education and studies, moved into the president's slot. Russell Martin, agronomy, was elected vice-president. Harold S. McNabb will continue as secretary-treasurer.

Gamma Sigma Delta encourages excellence in the practice of agricultural pursuits and encourages high standards of scholarship in all branches of agricultural science and education.
