The Chili Cookoff was attended by a large and enthusiastic crowd
Bostocks wins taste test; Cat Pit Chili is 'Best of Show'
By BECKY STYLES
J-TAC Reporter
The Seventh Annual O-K Chili
Cookoff, held at the TSU Ag farm
on May 2, again proved that chili
and sunshine are a winning combina-
tion for a fun day.
Almost 3,000 people attended the
event, which was sponsored by the
Lamba Chi fraternity. There were
over 30 chili teams competing for the
first, second and third places of best-
tasting chili. The teams also com-
peted in a showmanship category,
whiel). included booth decoration,
chili presentation, and team
enthusiasm.
First place for the best-tasting chili
was awarded to Bostocks, whose
red-hot concoction pleased the
judges. Second place went to The
Return of the Old Codgers team and
third place was awarded to The Best
Little Chili House in Texas.
Showmanship awards were given to
Cat Pit chili for first place, "69 Ex-
press" for second place and
Bostocks for third place.
Although chili cooking captured
the most attention, several other ac-
tivities helped keep the crowd amus-
ed. Besides the jalapeno eating, beer
chugging and cow chip throwing
contests, there were several hard-
core volleyball games which con-
tinued all afternoon. Hackey sack
groups were scattered throughout the: _
crowd and a dunking booth was set'
up for those who wanted revenge
and a chance to cool off.
Lamba Chi was very pleased with
the attendance and behavior of the
crowd and have started plans for
next years festivities. The event has
once again been proved as a great
success and great fun for all who
compete and attend the annual chili
cookoff and party.

By Mary Ann Foreman
TSU News Service
Four members of the faculty and
staff at Tarleton State University
were singled out for special recogni-
tion during the annual Distinguish-
ed Service picnic which was moved
inside to Wisdom Gym due to a sud-
den rain.
Natrelle Long, a member of the
faculty in the Department of English
and Languages since 1967, was
presented the "Distinguished.

for 1987. A 1965 graduate of
Tarleton, Mrs. Long received her
Masters from Sul Ross State Univer-
sity. She has served as editor of the
University catalogue for several
years and was recently named as the
first woman to chair the University's
Athletic Council.

Dean of Students at Tarleton, was
selected to receive the "Distinguish-
ed Service Award" presented to a
non-faculty member. Dean Mat-
thews began at the University in

named Dean of Students in 1984.

Sigma Epsilon, national professional

sors of a faculty auction each fall, the

Tarleton President Barry B. Thomp-
son, for selection. The first presen-
tation of the award ended in a tie.
