Bennie
As Smal
By Regina Galgano
Bennie Caloway Pendarvis, Jr.
was born August 17, 1940 in
Augusta, Georgia. Not long after
' his birth he and his family moved
to Allendale, South Carolina. In
the small town of Allendale he
spent his childhood, which he says
was not "a frustrated childhood
at all." He attended Allendale
Fairfax High School. From there,
he came to Carolina, and It is in
this phase of his life that we are
most interested.
Bennie is a senior in Biology,
and plans to go to Medical School
at the College of Charleston after
he graduates from the University
this June. Bennie states no con
Wrete reason for entering the
medical profession except that it
is what he wanted to do for as
long as he remembers. Med school
will take approximately six years,
and after that he wants to prac
tice in a small town, "where the
neighbors won't hear you if you
argue."
a1ennie is a Sigma Nu, but no
longer has his pin, since Faye
Madden wears it. He and Faye
have been pinned for over a year.
Faye is a Pi Phi, and will grad
uate next January.
Bennie was pledge marshal of
Sigma Nu, and claims to have en
joyed the fraternity, most of all

his activities. Seems this is only
natural.
The position that Bennie really
thinks the most of among his
academic activities is being a
member of Blue Key. It is in
this capacity, he said, that he has
a place of responsibility, and must
work for the organization as well
as for himself.
Bennie served as advertising
manager of the Garnet and Black.
It was for this organization that
Bennie went to a convention in
Chicago. What did he do there?
"Well, we were supposed to learn
how to make better annuals, but
we did some other things which
aren't printable." Hmmm. Sounds
like some convention there, boy.
All we know about the convention
is that they had had a head start,
since the boys he went with flew
up to Chicago on a champagne
flight from Atlanta. 'Nuff said
about that phase, only Bennie
knows the rest.
Among Bennie's other activities
are KSK, Men's Judicial Council,
Preshminan Orientation Counselor,
Wesley, and "a good bit of little
stuff, such as serving on commit
tees and things like that." For all
the "big" things and "little"
things Bennie has been noted as
an outstanding student by being
elected to Who's Who In American
Colleges and Universities. Con
gratulations on winning this
honor.
Bennie was also a representative
to the State Student Legislature.
Another interesting tidbit is that
he was in charge of High School
Day this past year.
If anyone wants to get in touch
with Bennie, he can be found at
a number of places; either at the
Highway Department, or in the
Biology department (where he
says he works as a "glorified
janitor"), or in the Sigma Nu'

house. The last place mentioned is
his home on campus, but since he
has so many part-time jobs it's
a wonder that he's ever there. Just
ask Todd Walters, his roommate.
By the way, Bennie said Todd, a
future minister, keeps him in line.
From what we hear up here Ben- I
nie doesn't need anyone to keep
him in line. A voice from some- <
where just said that he's the 4
nicest person that ever walked. I
Wasn't someone nice to say that,
Bennie?
As far as summer work goes,
lennie usually works with the
Bennie P
Highway Department, but he
takes one week off every summer
to be a member of the staff at
Boys' State.
Speaking of summer, Bennie
claims that he has never spent a
week of rolicking fun at Myrtle.
Po' boy, just don't know what
you're missing.

a He has a couple of old Spring
fields and a Winchester. Accord
ing to Bennie, the firearms don'1
have to be old, or even in gooc
, shape. lie would just as soon buy
a battered gun and fix it up, a.
Ian old one that is in good shape
Bennie's favorite sport is track
lie doesn't run track anymore, bul
he enjoys watching it more thar
t any other sport. Naturally he en
joys a good basketball game oi
tfootball game, too, but he enjoy.
track more because "it shows th(
height of individual developmen1
in training."
When asked why he came t<
Carolina and pledged Sigma Nu
Bennie answered the questior
with a very simple statement that
filled the bill. lie said, "I thoughl
that, they were the best, so I cam<
and when I got here, I pledged.'
Bennie thinks that the most em
barrassing thing that happened t<
him was the time he went skiing
and ended up in the middle of L
picnic party, literally. It all cam<
about when he was, as he says
"showing off." Ie kept going fron
side to side of the boat, over the
wake, and when he "came in foi
a landing" he misjudged the dis
tance. Instead of landing smoothly
he jumped a small embankmen1
and landed in the middle of a
party.
Bennie's family includes t
brother, at The Citadel, and a sis
ter who is still in high school. Oh
yes, he asked us to include the facl
that his mother and father con
stitute the rest of the family.
Bennie said that one of the peo
ple at Carolina who has helpe<
him the most is Dr. Coolidge. H(
stated that they got to be goo<
friends when Dr. Coolidge was hi:
advisor.
Bennie likes to read, to a cer
tain extent, and among his favor
ite books are MAD, western novel
s and Mickey Spillane. Hmmn
wonder how that'd do for parral
e lel. Seriously though, Bennie read
o when he has the time but ob
n viously from all his activities, tha
s isn't very often.
n The rest of Bennie's life is nov
s up to the future. We can say n
i. more.
