Marietta LXA, Student Senate Pres, dies in accident
(This is at least the fourth Greek to die in traffic over Thanksgiving break)
Marietta College officials were notified that Student Senate President Michael Conte, 21, of Mays Landing, N.J., was killed in a single-car accident returning home from a trip into New York City early Sunday.
A junior majoring in education, Conte was well-known on campus. He was a member of the Lambda Chi fraternity and a McDonough Scholar. He also served as the second floor resident assistant at Mary Beach resident hall and had been a member of the Marietta College men's rowing team his freshman year.
Conte had attended St. Mary's Church in Marietta.
Marietta College will be conducting a campus-wide memorial service for Conte at Fenton Court at Ban Johnson Arena at 7 p.m. Thursday.
According to a family friend, Conte and his girlfriend had attended a play in New York City but ran into inclement weather returning home and had a single-car accident.
