Freshman Egg-Scapes From Wellesley Loan

A Harvard student ate 50 eggs last night, Paul Newman-style, and was dubbed Harvard's "Cool Hand Luke."

Louis Menocal '71 set a new record in egg-eating history when he downed 34 fried, scrambled, and boiled eggs in 20 minutes. Eating in front of an audience of 35 at Wellesley College, "Louie" slowed down considerably after the first 34, but managed to eat 16 more--the last six raw.

Menocal ate his way out of a "monstrous" debt to a Wellesley student. After seeing Cool Hand Luke, he offered to eat the eggs or pay twice the money. "I also wanted to see if it could be done," he added.
