Pape 6 IE BATTALION HOTSDAY, AUGUST 1, 1979 Battalion photos by Clay Cockrill Inside the dairy center Machines do much of our work these days, including milking the cows; and twice a day — come rain or shine — 160 Holstein and Jersey milk cows are put through the ordeal at the Texas A&M 'Dairy Center. The cows move eagerly along a shoot and into individual stalls where air vacuum milking machines are attached. The cows don’t mind, said junior dairy science major Liz Banks (above and bottom right). Milking them relieves pres sure in their udders, she said. Most of the milk is sold through the Texas A&M Creamery, but during the summer with the lack of students much of it is sold to other sources. Calves born at the center, like the one in the upper right picture, are taken from their mothers at birth and raised artificially. fcd-H-H Texas is home of hamburger!

MSC Summer Dinner Theatre presents Georges Feydeau’s A Game of Chance (chemin de fer) United Press International DALLAS — Texas historian Frank X. Tolbert says the inventor of the American hamburger was the late Fletcher “Uncle Fletch Davis of Athens, Henderson County, Texas. No questions allowed. With that swallowed whole, Tol bert staged a contest to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the event. The contest might — but, emphati cally, not yet — come to rival Tol bert’s own chili cook-offs and world championship in the fall. "Historians have long agreed that the first hamburger sandwich was introduced by an ‘unknown pur veyor at the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair,” said the contest announce ment. “Not until Frank did his re search in Athens was it postively es tablished that Uncle Fleteh was the man.” Tolbert said the original recipe in cluded a half-pound meat patty on a toasted bun with mustard, pickles, lettuce, tomato and onions. Other claims exist. Yankees in New Haven, Conn., are convinced Louis Lassen served the first burger in America at his es tablishment there in 1895. Tolbert admits Lassen served something — but not a hamburger. Kenneth Lassen, who now pres ides over the cubbyhole that is Louis’ Lunch — seating capacity, 28 — emphatically says the burgers served there today were cloned from the 1895 model. In Albion, Ohio, people attribute the invention to Frank Menckes. They say he ran out of sausage at the Summit County Fair in 1892 and substituted the first hamburger. Hamburger itself — the meat, not th ,Jther sai sandwich — was said to ■ or j et y c ] been discovered in the 13thth when Batu Khan, grandson of abo ghis, slapped a piece of top r.X Ada] under his saddle and rode an 3^ tbe £ awhile: presto, tenderized beef p Batu and gang headed intoVt Itly w hi rad, where the Russians tikef ^[stitches taste of their conquerors’ ra\u« Ho; foot and spread it around the Bi States.
