Honor Organization Blue Key Blue Key is a nationally chartered honor fraternity open to men and women who Hnot only have high GPA's, but also have proven leadership abilities, according to president Tim Bailey. Membership is open to juniors and seniors, although sophomores are accepted on an affiliate basis. HAlthough Blue Key is still a new organization on campus, our membership is growing rapidly, Tim said. The motto of the organization, HServing I Live, exemplifies Blue Keyis devotion to service activities. This semester, the club is iiworking on adopting a philanthropy as well as working with the university toward attracting high school students to MSU, Tim explained. The organization is assisting the university during open houses, when high school students and their parents spend a day on campus becoming familiar with Morehead State University. HThe goal of Blue Key, Tim said, iiis to develop a bond between the community and the university through service pro- jects.

They must qualify with a ' other dance teams from 0 her schools , , rifle, take a repelling test, and among other We retrying to go to state Competition, , things, take an escape and invasion test which involves, according to Barry, being left in the middle of nowhere and finding your way home without getting caught. The Company does a variety of things including repelling, camping, patrolling, and hot water rafting in the spring.

Pi Gamma Mu Since it was established at MSU, Pi Gam- a Mu, an honor society for students in he social sciences, has initiated over 360 embers. Lola Crosthwaite, faculty spon- or for the group, said, We offer service rojects as well as intellectually stimulating ctivities. One service project that the club was involved with last semester was fingerprinting school children. uAll the children in the middle school have been fingerprinted, Crosthwaite said. They wanted us to commit to do all the children in the county, but we just don't have the time. Another service project was pro- viding Christmas gifts for a foster child. Each semester, the organization tries to deal with current social issues in seminars and panel discussions. Last semester they sponsored an AIDS seminar on campus which was attended by nearly three hun- dred people. A doctor who has treated AIDS patients addressed the group. In planning the seminars, Crosthwaite said the club tries to take Something before people that they deal with and try to form a program around that. This semester the group plans another fingerprinting project and another seminar, although the topic has not been set. By LISA HOPKINS Social Work Alpha Delta Mu is an honor organization for students who are majoring in social work. Having this restriction does limit the membership somewhat. iiStandards are high and we typically don't initiate until the senior year, therefore we tend to graduate everyone we initiate, explained Mrs. Patsy Whitson, the faculty sponsor of the club. Mrs. Whitson described the club as uan honor society that recognizes academic Honor Group achievement and challenges members to a higher level of professional performance. In addition to holding initiation banquets, last semester the club was involved in help- ing to sponsor Dr. Cornelia Wilbur, who spoke here on multiple personalities. Members are urged to compete for na- tionally awarded scholarships which are given each year to further the study of social work. By LIST HOPKINS
