Ensure the Future of Delta Upsilon THERE ARE THOSE BROTHERS among us who give, and give, and give ...... and their constant giving, caring, and involvement encourage each of us and help us to see how we, too, can follow their examples. The Delta Upsilon Distinguished Alumnus Award, the highest honor the International Fraternity can bestow on alumni, was awarded to Dave Maguire, SOli them Illinois '73, at DU 's Winter Educational Conference January 9 in Oak Brook, Illinois. Brother Maguire was the 46th recipient in the history of the Fraternity, which has more than 150,000 alumni. The award recognizes the significant accomplishments of leading alumni and is presented to members of the Fraternity who bring honor to themsel ves, and Delta Upsilon International Fraternity, through achievements that are recognized nationally or internationally, or who demonstrate a lifetime of ex traordinary service or support to Delta Upsilon Fraternity. "Volunteers are a highly valued asset to any organization, and DU is no different. But rarely does a volunteer come along who gives tireless and unending gifts of time and resources, for such a long period of time," said William L. Messick, Lafayette '68, Chairman of DU 's Board of Directors. Dave began volunteering immediately after completing his studies at SIU, when he was appointed to serve as Province Governor for Province 7. He also served as President of the Southern Illinois Chapter House Corporation, and as Corporation Treasurer of the Western Illinois Chapter, where he continues to serve as one of that chapter's advisors. He has served as a member of the International Board of Directors and as Secretary of the Fraternity. He served as Chairman of the Ritual Awareness Committee, and also served on the committee that was given the arduous task of rewriting the Fraternity 'S Constitution and By-Laws in 1992-93. He has been on literally countless conunittees and conference faculties; he continues

to be the voice of decision and authority as Parliamentarian of the annual Convention and Assembly of Trustees; he continues to serve as the advisor to the Undergraduate Advisory Board and has been a fixture at the annual Leadership Institute for nearly 30 years. Such reads the litany of service that all brothers may strive to match. Brother Maguire is also a trustee of Spoon River College, past president of the Illinois Community College Trustees Association and a national director of the Association of Conul1lmity College Trustees in Washington D.C. He is president of the McDonough County Board of Health. Another well-deserved recognition of many years of se rvice was the November 21 , 2003 "lifetime achievement dinner" honoring Richard B. Campbell , Nebraska '68. The event, organized and man aged by the undergraduate chapter at Nebraska, was attended by former Board Chairman Scott A. W. Johnson , Washington '80, former Board Directors Rees Jones, Manitoba '67, and Coady Pruett, Cal Poly '02, as well as Educational Foundation Trustee Tom Durein, Oregon State '92. Brother Campbell remarked, "Once or twice in our lifetime, an event will happen that re-enforces our long- held beliefs and commitments. This was one of those for me. I have always believed that we should help those that walk the 'path of life' behind us, helping them to avoid the same boulders and holes in the road that we stumbled over or into. The Nebraska undergraduate chapter organized this tremendous honor and dinner for me, and r am extremely grateful. Rather than just a "thank you,' it re-energi zed me to continue in assisting to bllild better lII en through Delta Upsilon and the Nebraska Chapter. "As a continuing commitment to the Fraternity, Kathy and I decided to endow the Delta Upsilon Emerging Leader Scholarship for the Nebraska Chapter though the DU Educational Foundation.

ALUMNI NEWS JAMES D. MCQUAID, Chicago '60, Past President of Delta Upsilon International Fraternity and currently a member of the Educational Foundation's Board of Trustees, has come out of retirement. He has joined the senior management team of a new company, MetroGroup Corp. as Chairman and CEO. This new company is the result of an Experian senior management group and Sterling Capital Partners, LP, a leading private equity firm, having acquired the Lettershop, Printing and Packaging Services and Cole Services division of Experian 's North American operations. During his undergraduate years, MARK E. SMALL, DePauw '78, was student body president as well as serving as DU's house manager, student senator, parliamentarian, and chaplain. He received his law degree from the Indiana University School of Law and coached debate at IU-PUI for four years. He is now in practice in the area of appellate law and is admitted to practice before the US Supreme Court. In 1994 he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Since that time he has competed in and finished five half-marathons and one full marathon as a race-walker. Brother Small had a two-volume novel published in 2003 , available from Sunstone Press, or Amazon .com. Nineteen Seventy-five is a first-person narrative of that calendar year in the life of a college sophomore and recounts experiences that reflect the hedonism of those times. At the end of the narrative, he has come to grips with life, becomes centered and realizes how fortunate he is to be in college in those times and to be young.

THOMAS VILSACK, Hamilton '72, Governor of the State of Iowa, met earlier this year with Executive Director Jeff Fuhrman, Northern Iowa '94. Brother Vilsack's son, Jess, is also a DU (Hamilton '00). Vilsack is a two-term Democratic Governor and is currently focusing on bring people home to Iowa. On December 2, 2003 , The Honorable TERRY L. BULLOCK, Kansas State '61, handed down his finding that the inadequate and unequal public funding of Kansas schools violates that state 's constitution. He gave the Kansas Legislature until July 1 to fix the problem. This is only the latest in Judge Bullock's review of the public school education system in Kansas with regard to its funding. In 1992 the Kansas Legislature came up with a plan they felt would address the situation. At stake was funding to cover special needs, such as higher transportation costs and the higher cost of educating kids in small schools, as well as the needs of bilingual , special-education, and other students the state says are "at risk" because of their economic status or home environments. However, other tests and challenges followed , with the result that the entire dilenuna ended back in Judge Bullock's court.

EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION
Province Challenge Poises Oak Circle for Success In an effort to try and eclipse last year's record year for the Oak Circle, the Foundation's Undergraduate Giving Program, the Undergraduate Advisory Board (UGAB) instituted a "Province Challenge" that kicked off in early-February. The money raised through the Oak Circle goes to support the Oak Circle Scholarship, which is awarded annually each summer. After this fiscal year, it is expected that one scholarship will be fully endowed! Money raised after this year will go towards increasing the endowment, thereby increasing the number of scholarships that will be available. How does the Province Challenge work? Gifts from undergraduate members, DU parents, and chapter gifts are "credited" to their specific province. At the end of the fiscal year, June 30, all gifts will be totaled to determine the province that raised the most money. Chapters that participated within the winning province will receive a $25 discount on any individual 2004 LI registration. In addition, the chapter that raises the most money will receive a free delegate to the 2004 LI. Province recognition awards (to include top giving chapter, highest provincial donor total, and highest provincial dollar total), in addition to the Oak Circle Scholarship, Undergraduate Donor of the Year, and chapter award level recognition will be presented at the 2004 Leadership Institute in Portland, Oregon. Chapter Recognition - All brothers who participate in the Oak Circle are listed in the annual report and are recognized at the two major DU conferences. Donors are also helping to contribute to their chapter's annual cumulative total for chapter recognition at the Leadership Institute. Chapters are given special award recognition when the cumulative totals from all participating Brothers within their chapter are totaled. Financial gifts to the DUEF help ensure that the educational programs and services that the Fraternity undertakes are able to continue. The more money that is received, the more the Fraternity is able to achieve, and the current services will be even more enhanced. The Oak Circle lends itself to not only raising money for undergraduate scholarships, but also to help show today's undergraduate brothers the importance of giving to the DUEF by establishing their personal giving record. Undergraduates or alumni may make a gift by using the envelope enclosed in this issue (denote Oak Circle) or by donating online at www.DeltaU.org. Any questions regarding the Oak Circle may be directed to Brother Craig Sowell, at 317-875-8900 x225, or via email at Sowell@DeltaU.org
Donors who give at the Oak Circle "Gold level" ($30 or more) receive the 2004 Oak Circle lapel Pin, pictured above.

It only takes
TWENTY. As in many organizations like ours, a relatively small percentage of members actually send in a gift of financial support each year. It's no secret that only about 4-5 % of Delta Upsilon's 55 ,000 "mailable" alumni send in a gift each year to the DU Educational Foundation; giving back to the Fraternity and thereby helping to ensure Delta Upsilon 's success for the future. Imagine if everyone of the 55 ,000 DU alumni for whom we have good addresses, gave just twenty dollars ($20) a year. That translates to 1.1 million dollars each year in financial gifts! That figure doesn' t even take into account those that give more on an annual basis. Now, certainly not all alumni will give, but we can certainly set a record. Help the DUEF set a new record for number of donors this year. Every dollar does indeed help, but even more important is the fact that every donor helps even more. It is not important, necessarily, how much a person gives, but rather that the donor gives within his means. We all recited our Oath, which states "I solemnly promise that I will be loyal to the Delta Upsilon Fraternity . .." Let us all do our part, however we can, to stay true to our promise. Whether you are a past donor, or non-donor, or even a current donor, won 't you consider "sending in twenty," or a gift of any amount?

We feel that donating money to the Community Counseling & Crisis Center is the best way we can help our community."
Amy Roberts, executive director of the Community Counseling & Crisis Center said, "The Brothers of Delta Upsilon have been consistent supporters of our mission. Through their contributions we are able to provide mental health counseling to children and families, as well as respond to crisis calls 24 hours a day. Through gifts such as the one received from Delta Upsilon, we are able to fulfill our mission of addressing current emerging mental health needs. We appreciate their generosity."

History of the Craig S. Sowell, Houston '92 Fraternity Historian
The Williams Social Fraternity of 1834, it is recorded, felt no need for a common badge. "Principles" they said, "without any outward symbols, bound the hearts of our Fraternity's earliest members in the strongest friendship. The wearing of a badge, moreover, smacked strongly of secrecy." As Brother Orville Read, Missouri '31, wrote in the ISO-year history of Delta Upsilon, "".within a few years , some members of the group were arguing that the wearing of the badge representing opposition to the secrecy could not be considered in a hostile light. .. and that such an emblem would bring about a greater feeling of loyalty among the members. This quickly became the majority opinion, and by 1837, the members were in possession of their first badges." For the next 20 years, the early chapters debated as to which form or version of a badge would be used, as all of the chapters formulated their own design. The debate raged on for another 20 years, when finally in 1857, a committee chaired by Edward P. Gardner, Amherst 1858, brought forth a design utilizing the Greek letters Delta and Upsilon . The Badge that we proudly wear
today, was officially adopted at the 1858 Convention, on the evening of May 13 , 1858, along with the Fraternity's motto, Dikaia Upotheke (Justice our Foundation). Pictured above is the Delta Upsilon Archives' Collection of DU Badges that is proudly on display at the Fraternity's Headquarters. Included in the collection are one-of-a-kind DU Badges dating back to 1860, and two examples of the Anti-Secret Confederation "key," which was
the first such "emblem" worn by members. Most of the Badges have come to the collection by means of bequeath or a gift of a deceased brothers' family. The Fraternity takes pride in accepting and displaying any DU Badge that is donated to the collection through the remembrance and generosity of DU Brothers or their families. Brothers interested in a bequeath of their Badge to the Fraternity, to be displayed for posterity, should make their intentions known to their families .

Delta Upsilon Mourns the Passing of Two Beloved and Dedicated Brothers It is our sad duty to report the passing of an outstanding brother and shining example of DU volunteerism. Brother Charles F. Jennings, Marietta '31, passed away January 24, 2004 at the age of 92. Few people have matched Brother Jennings ' years of inspirational service and exceptional dedication to DU. He received his B.A. in Economics from Marietta University in 1931 , and worked for Bankers' Trust Company (currently Deutsche Bank), retiring in 1976 as Vice President. He served as Captain during World War II in the Army's 43rd Finance Disbursing Section from 1942 to 1946, and subsequently was promoted to Major. In 1948, he was elected to the Board of Directors of the International Fraternity, later serving as the Fraternity's Treasurer for over 20 years. In 1969, he was elected President of the Fraternity, serving for two years. Following his term as Fraternity President, Brother Jennings joined the Board of Trustees of the DU Educational Foundation, and served there for another 20 years until 1991. For years, Brother Jennings was a fixture at the annual DU Leadership Institute and Convention, Just two days earlier, January 22, 2004, one week shy of his 59th birthday, DUEF Trustee Emeritus and longtime Oregon Chapter supporter, Brother Gary B. Adams , Oregon '66, passed away. Brother Adams slipped away very peacefully after several months of ill health. Gary served as a Trustee on the Delta Upsilon Educational Foundation from July 1997 until his "retirement" in August of 2002, when he was recognized as a "Lifetime Trustee Emeritus" of the DUEF. But it was his loyalty to the Oregon Chapter that most people associate with Gary Adams. He served in many capacities, serving for several years as President of the Oregon Chapter Alumni Association. Many people can recall his infectious 14

attending more than 47 in his DU career. In 1985 , Brother Jennings was awarded the DU Distinguished Alunmi Award, the Fraternity'S highest honor. He was also active in many other local cOl1lli1Unity affairs and will be remembered for his countless hours of volunteering. In accordance with the Fraternity's practices, the Fraternity Flag at the DU Headquarters Building was lowered to half staff the week of January 26. Memorial gifts may be directed to the Charlie Jennings Memorial, DU Educational Foundation, P.O. Box 68942, Indianapolis, IN 46268. On February 27, Brother Jennings' devoted wife of 57 years passed away. Jean Jennings was 85 . Maury Mandel, Chicago '55, v.P. of Investments, DU Educational Foundation reflected, "I met Charlie Jennings not long after I started my Wall Street career at Bankers Trust Company in 1957. He was an officer of the bank who happened, also, to be DU's Treasurer and the force behind a monthly luncheon gathering of New York City alumni. More than any other single factor, Charlie's leadership and dedication inspired my service to the Fraternity over these past decades. He was a wondetful friend and brother." sense of humor, and being a big Oregon football fan, the never-ending jabs at Oregon State. But he will be best remembered for his genuine love of Delta Upsilon and his brothers, and his intense passion and loyalty to the Oregon Chapter. As his wife, Angela stated: "He felt very honored to be a part of DU, and in fact it was one of his 'loves' in life." Truth be told, it was Delta Upsilon that was honored to have Gary Adams as a member. He will be missed. In accordance with the Fraternity'S practices, the Fraternity Flag was lowered to half-staff on Monday, February 2, 2004 at the DU Headquarters in memory of Brother Adams.
Delta Upsilon International Fraternity wishes to extend its condolences to Gary S. Ki"ips, Alberta '71, Brett A. Ki"ips, Alberta '04, and Tricia Ki"ips in the passing of wife and mother Cindy on January 27. Our heartfelt sympathies go out to them and their many friends and family members.

Convention going ... Reprinted from August 30, 1928
Attending conventions comes near being the great American pastime. From early spring until the sting of the stifling summer heat is at its peak, we travel by the hundreds from coast to coast to intermediate points to convention. Why conventions? To discuss matters of common interest and take collective action ... Yes, that is somewhat the reason, but not the whole reason. Many matters could be determined quite as well without assembling in one place. The impetus to forgather in conventions does not come from business so much as an eagerness for comradeship. Convention going is the finest kind of recreation. Contact with many minds widens our outlook, liberalizes our opinions and in the process of meeting men from distant points, we learn that good fellows are plentiful everywhere. There are men here today whose faces have been seen at conventions for many years. One of them will tell you that he has been present at forty-four conventions, illustrating, I should say, the slogan "Once a Delta U, always a Delta U." However, we do not need to attend that great number to feel the pull when a convention is announced. Attendance at one may not do it, but the second attendance is apt to make us a confirmed addict. The meeting of old friends is a great pleasure but the making of new ones is quite as stimulating. Every year I return from these gatherings enriched and greatly heartened and encouraged by the new friends I find. I say to myself something like this: "Well, the country is safe and the world is on the high road to progress. If our Delta U young men are a sample, the world will not want in years to come courage, loyalty and generosity." Thomas C. Miller, Hamilton IBBS President of Delta Upsilon Fraternity (1926 -1928)
