Ah! For A Dog's
Life; Bruce Makes
Big Hit With Coeds
A dog's life isn't so bad.
Ask Frances X: Renault, owner
_of the huge creature that stalks
around the campus as Bruce the
St. Bernard.
. The dog, now quite a campus
figure, has proven to be an asset
to,. his owner. He carries his
master's books, mail, and pack
;46 and 'also helps him • sell in
surance. "Wherever I go, Renault
says, people always ask me to
come back because of Bruce."
However, there are some dif
ficulties in being Bruce's owner.
First, his daily- meals amount to
four pounds of food and he'll
drink a gallon of milk each day
if you give it to him. Also, Bruce
once caused Renault to dent a
couple of fenders by licking him
and crawlink over him while•
driving in traffic.
Coeds often call Bruce and ask
to speak to him. "In fact," Re
nault says, "Bruce makes out
better with the girls than I do."
"Being a St. Be.tnard, Bruce
could naturally be of much ser
v.ice i nthe army,' Renault said,
"but since the students like' him
sc much I've decided to keep him
heie" instead -of sending him
away.

For Chem Profs
By .Waller Fischman
, About thirty-five years ago amid
much fanfare the College present
ed to the student body a building
to serve as a temporary chemistry
lecture• hall until a more perma
nent structure could be built. At
the same time, but with no fan
fare, they presented "Benny," just
a young guy, to help out in pre
paring the lectures.
The building, quickly christened
the -"Bull Pen," lasted •for thirty
years until it burned down, but the
young guy just as quickly . chris
tened. "Bull Pen Benny" is still at
his job in the New Physics build
ing.
Although officially he is Mr. Ben
jamin Weauer, in charge of labora
tory • prepiration, most students
know him as the quiet fellow in
the dark suit who takes roll.
Even though Mr. Weaver had no
