Donovan of Grand Rapids re­ ceived a Distinguished Service Award at the Blue Key Kick-Off B anquet February 1. The banquet at the Douglass House sparked the beginning of the 1964 Carnival. Mr. Donovan, a 1942 Tech Graduate and National President of Blue Key Honorary Fraternity from 1955 to 1962, now serves as Vice President of the National Group. He is the Vice President of Wheeler-Van Lable Corporation of Grand Rapids. Mr. Donovan w as introduced by Bud Quandt, president of the Michigan Tech Alumni Association and a Tech graduate of 1942. Donovan and Quandt were good friends when both were in school - even members of the same fraternity. In his brief talk, Donovan examined the mixture of reality, ideals, and fantasy nec­ essary to build a well-rounded life. At the presentation of . the award, Blue Key President Harr y Askin announced that Blue Key would create an annual award named in honor of Mr. Donovan. This award would presumably be awarded to some in- dividual who has given great service to the school during the course of the past year. Blue Key Fraternity Blue Key, the group that puts on Winter Carnival each year, is a national honorary fraternity. It combines academics with proven leadership ability as prerequisite for memb ership. The Blue Key Chapter at Michigan Tech is one of the most active chapters in the country. Each spring, the fraternity elects mem­ bers from those campus leaders who have proven their ability by a college career of service in extra curriculars. As a second test, then, the candidates must exceed the all-campus scholastic aver­ age to be eligible. This year's officers of Blue Key are: (top) B rent F uller, secretary; (middle row) Vic D avis, treasurer; Harry Askin, presi­ dent, and (bottom) John Cline, vice presi­ dent. five Michigan Tech Lode PICTORIAL Editorial: ·February 8, 1964 Vol. 2, No. 3 Now that this year's Winter Carnival is almost a thing of the past per­ haps it is time to comment on the many hours voluntarily given to this annual EDITOR'S NOTEBOOK feature--not only by those who plan the program but also the students who actually make the Carnival a reality by their spirited participation.
