Chuckwagon Kitchen Was Part Of West Most Western movies lead us to believe that in the early days of the Old West, the trail boss ruled as absolute master. But in truth, there was one place where the foreman had no more authority than a greenhorn cowboy. And that place was the chuckwagon. Within sixty feet of the chuck wagon, the cook’s authority was supreme. The cowboy had to follow some very strict rules as laid down by the cook. One of the many taboos for trail hands was that no one but the cook could touch the work table, which was the tailgate of the chuckwagon. Also forbidden was anyone tying his horse to the chuckwagon or climbing onto the vehicle for any reason. Being on time for meals was a must, and if a cowboy missed the one and only meal call, he also missed the meal. The etiquette was quite differ ent from what are considered acceptable table manners today. One may find it hard to imagine that there was no standing in line or waiting for the next person to be served. Everyone just grabbed a plate and helped him self to as much as his plate would hold. The chuckwagon was truly a mobile kitchen and the sooner people ate their food, the quicker the cook could pack up and move along to the next campsite. As ranches grew and roundups became a part of range life, it was necessary to find a way to keep ten or twenty men well-fed for the five months spent away from ranch headquarters. The best cowhands always chose the ranchers who had the best cooks, because the pay was low every where and the three square meals a day for five months repre sented a lot of good—or bad— eating. “Come to where the flavor is” became the rancher’s selling point. The first efforts at mass feed ing were to hire a cook and have him haul his supplies on pack horses. When this became im practical, the cook next was equipped with a two-wheeled ox cart. When the cart proved in efficient for carrying all the provisions, the chuckwagon be came the obvious solution. Today’s chuckwagon is a far more sophisticated version than its range predecessor. In the rear of the original wagon was a huge tailgate that lowered to serve as a work table. The wagon had a chuck box which held salt, sugar, utensils and other cooking neces sities. Beef was stored on the bottom in the wagon bed. At night it was left exposed to keep it chilled. During the day it was covered wtih a tarpaulin, which kept the beef from spoiling for two or three days—about the time it took the hungry trail crew to polish it off. The chuckwagon cook was always the first man up in the morning. He started the fire and prepared breakfast, which con sisted of fried steak, sourdough biscuits and thick, hot, black coffee. After breakfast, it was essential to wash the dishes quickly, put out the fire, pack up and race to beat the herd to the next camping site in time to pre pare the next meal. Out in the country, beans were Mrs. Jack K. Williams is being ‘tapped’ as one of the five honorary members of Alpha Lambda, a national scho lastic honor society. Karen Haws, an active member, pinhed Mrs. Williams. Alpha Lambda Taps New Members Alpha Lambda, national hon orary society, conducted ‘tap ping’ ceremonies for new mem bers during classes Friday. The ‘tapping’ ceremony was the first event of its kind on the A&M campus. Girls to be in ducted into the society were visited during one of their classes and pinned by an active member. An active member who assisted in the tapping, Karen Haws, said, “By tapping the girls during their class period we not only informed the girls of their se lection, but we also increased student awareness of Alpha Lambda.” There are 14 active members of Alpha Lambda who helped tap the 49 new members. The girls come from all academic colleges in the university. The purpose of the society is to recognize women with superior scholastic attainment during their first year in college. To be eli gible for consideration the girls must have a 3.5 grade point ratio. Five honorary members were also tapped Friday. Honorary members are: Mrs. Jack Wil liams, Dr. Carol Anderson, chair man of the special education pro grams, Grace Kieffer of the math department, Patricia Self, coun selor for women, and Dean of Women Toby Schreiber. Keiffer was tapped while teaching a math class. Her re action was one of surprised pleas ure but she said, “All my class could think about was getting a walk.” Co-sponsor of Alpha Lambda, Self said, “We have received cooperation from all the deans and faculty members. They have assisted in accumulating names and records of the girls. We certainly appreciate their help and encouragement. This is the first year for Alpha Lambda at A&M and we have been well re ceived and consider the society to be successful.” An initiation and congratula tory reception will be held for the 49 new members and five honor ary members Sunday, Oct. 11, at the Memorial Student Center.

There is a legend that the recipe for coffee on the range amounted to taking • a pound of coffee, wetting it with water, boiling it over a fire 30 minutes, then testing it by throw ing in a horseshoe. If the horse shoe sank, more coffee was added to thicken the mixture. Anything weaker was known as “belly wash.” The cook had certain privi leges on the trail. He was the only one who had a shelter in which to sleep and no one ever dared suggest that he might share the wagon. To assure that no one would sneak under the wagon for a snooze, the privacy-loving cook always tossed his dirty dish water there. In spite of the fact that the cook also served as doc tor, banker, referee, barber and holder of all bets, he was best known for his sour disposition. The cook had to have the last word at all times and the cow boys knew it. The understand ing among the trail hands was, “Only a fool would argue with a skunk, a mule or a cook.” Janet Landers A&M’s women’s rifle team participated in its first match this past weekend. Of a possible 3,000 points, it scored 2,505, with three of the five coeds being in their first competition. Sgt. l.C.
