MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT Dear Brothers, Delta Upsilon is running a relay marathon that has no finish line. We just pass the baton and keep running. One year blends into the next. The faces of the undergraduates are new and the faces of the alumni keep getting older. The faces change, the projects get larger, the challenges intensify and the good humor continues. One thing that does not change is the dedication of Delta Upsilon to Building Better Men. As we prepare to pass the baton to a new President this August at the 2006 Delta Upsilon Leadership Institute, Convention and Assembly of Trustees, there are many observations that I have after serving as your President for the past six years. Four issues that matter most are discussed below. Size does matter. Those chapters that support a Ed Porter, Oklahoma ’65 membership number that ranks in the top three or four fraternities on their campus find that their chapter provides a better overall fraternity experience. I have learned through discussions with the Presidents of other fraternities that they have the same experience. Therefore, we should focus on recruiting more men of merit. Those chapters that rank near the top of the numbers scale on their campus have much more success in recruiting more men of merit and can have greater success in Building Better Men. All chapters find that by focusing their recruitment on our principles of Character, Justice and Culture result in more and better new members. Friendship with more men of merit is the product. Principles do matter. The DU chapters that have focused on the principles that set DU apart are having the most success in Building Better Men and in maintaining or growing their already large membership size. DU’s principle of Friendship is also claimed by many other fraternities. However, the combination of the principles of Character, Justice and Culture are unique. Every act that we take as undergraduates or alumni should be measured by how that act is impacted by our belief in Character, Justice and Culture. Those principles are DU’s guide. The 2006 DU Leadership Institute in Kansas City will focus on Recruiting Our Principles. Projects do matter. Delta Upsilon, because of our principles, has forged a unique partnership with the Boys & Girls Clubs of the U.S. and Canada. DU was chosen exclusively by the B&GC. This is a huge opportunity for us to Build Better Men, and to help create a better world by using the principles of DU to work with young boys and girls. By concentrating our community service efforts on one organization we achieve a much greater impact than spreading our service projects over several organizations. In addition to providing a critical and much needed service, this partnership affords DU an opportunity to showcase our principles on TV and in the press. Alumni are the key to success. DU enjoys a membership of over 60,000 men around the world. The office in Indianapolis has valid contact information on over 55,000 of those members. As more of these alumni become active in a nearby chapter (their own chapter or another chapter) they find the reward of knowing that they have a huge impact on Building Better Men. The undergraduates in those chapters that have a number of alumni supporting the chapter with their presence have a much better DU experience. The chapters that enjoy alumni support are bigger, better, more vibrant, more fun, more stable, and are best able to Build Better Men. In order to build awareness DU is/has been holding alumni receptions and dinner meetings in many cities. The DU Blue and Gold Carpet is rolled out and a number of Board members of the International Fraternity as well as local DUs attend and learn about the amazing things that are happening at DU. Be sure to attend when one of these events is near you. Thank you for allowing me to serve as your President. As the baton is passed in this endless relay marathon, I know that all DUs will continue to support DU and its principles. Fraternally,
Ed Porter, Oklahoma ’65 President

Pennsylvania State Founders Day Celebration
On April 22, brothers from all around the country and different eras gathered in State College, Pennsylvania for the Pennsylvania State Chapter Founder’s Day. Poor weather kept brothers off the golf course, but it could not keep brothers from socializing and reconnecting later that evening during dinner. The highlight of the evening was the presentation of the 2006 Pennsylvania State Founder’s Day Award to Brother Barry Hoffman, Lafayette and Pennsylvania State ’63. Brother
Hoffman received the Founder’s Day Award for living a life that reflects the founding principles of Delta Upsilon. Brother Hoffman received his B.A. from Pennsylvania State University and his J.D. from George Washington University Law School. While in the chapter at Pennsylvania State, Brother Hoffman served as the Treasurer. Brother Hoffman is Executive Vice President and General Counsel, and a member of the Board of Directors of Valassis Communications, Inc. Prior to going to Valassis, he served as an officer in the United States Army, a Special Agent in the Federal Bureau of Investigation and an Assistant District Attorney in the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office. The event was organized and put together by Brothers Bill Landherr ’59, Ben Amato ’60, Vince Tedesco ’64, and (John) Cy Dubinsky ’59.
Washington, D.C. Area Alumni Reception The Blue and Gold Carpet was rolled out in grand style at the Washington D.C. Alumni Reception on April 24th. A good number of DU Brothers came together at the National Press Club in Washington D.C. to join in fellowship and brotherhood, but also to recognize some outstanding alumni in the area. The event started out with a welcome by Chairman of the Board, Brother Bill Messick Lafayette ’68. Brother Messick gave a presentation on the state of the Fraternity and the direction of the Fraternity. Brother Messick then turned the program over the Dave Schumacher, Executive Director of the DU Educational Foundation, who talked about the Foundation’s long term and short term goals. The final person of the evening to speak was International Fraternity President Brother Ed Porter, Oklahoma ’65. Brother Porter had the
pleasure of handing out certificates of recognition to the 12 alumni in attendance who have been brothers for 40 years or more. The evening was made even better by the attendance of eight undergraduates from our interest group at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. This was a great opportunity for them to learn what being a member of Delta Upsilon is all about.
New York City Brotherhood Reception
Fellowship and brotherhood were the main topics on May 3rd. Brothers from all around the New York City area descended upon the Butterfield 8 Restaurant in mid-town Manhattan. 4

17th Annual Lafayette Chapter DU Golf Outing and Founder’s Day Dinner on May 5, 2006 On a beautiful and warm spring day, brothers from the Lafayette Chapter assembled at Riverview Country Club in Easton, Pennsylvania for an afternoon of brotherhood and golf. Following the golf scramble, brothers reconvened to Marquis Hall at Lafayette College for dinner and a short program. Undergraduate Chapter President Phil Vanier ’07 recognized undergraduate members for scholastic achievement and philanthropy in the community. Greek Advisor Terry Webber was in attendance and was given the opportunity to talk about where Greek life at Lafayette College is heading. The DU International Fraternity and Educational Foundation mourn the loss of Brother Dr. Herbert E. Smith, Indiana ’52, who passed away Friday, June 2, 2006 in Bloomington, Indiana. Brother Smith was a long-time volunteer for Delta Upsilon and a former member of the Board of Trustees of the DU Educational Foundation. For several years he was a mainstay at the Fraternity’s conferences. He was born July 12, 1929 and grew up on a 400 acre farm in Crawford County, Indiana. He joined DU while a student at Indiana University, where he earned three degrees, all in the field of education: Bachelor’s Degree in Language Arts in 1952, Master’s Degree in Counseling and Guidance in 1954, and a Doctorate in Higher Education in 1964 with an outside minor in radio and television, an area that he dabbled in for many years. He had been in the Air Force Reserve for six years and
Chairman of the Fraternity Board Brother Bill Messick, Lafayette ’68 who helped organize the day’s events made some comments about the Fraternity on an international level. The evening was capped off by some reminiscing by brothers from the class of ’61. The day could not have been any better, except for maybe the golf scores.
Delta Upsilon Remembers Brother Herb Smith, Indiana ’52 was called to active duty with the Strategic Air Command at Omaha, Nebraska during the Korean War. Herb spent 34 years at Indiana University, serving as Assistant Dean of Students for 20 years. He was a Past Master of the Masonic Lodge and a 50 year member of Crawford Lodge 470 in English, Indiana. He was also a 50 year member of the Scottish Rite Valley of Indianapolis and a 50 year member of the Shrine of North America. He was a Past President of the Scottish Rite Club of Monroe County, Past President of the Stone Belt Shrine Club of Bloomington. In 1994 he became the Potentate of the Murat Shrine in Indianapolis.

Delta Upsilon International Fraternity Treasurer’s Annual Report for 2004-05 By David G. Herzer, Wisconsin ’54 International Treasurer
D
elta Upsilon completed its 2004-05 fiscal year in a strong financial position with net assets of $2.32 million, including cash and equivalents of $2.21 million. The fiscal year began by the Board of Directors, at the Leadership Institute in Portland, Oregon, announcing the appointment of Dave Maguire, Southern Illinois ’73, as Executive Director of the Fraternity. Earlier in the calendar year Dave had received the D.U. Distinguished Alumni Award in recognition of his extraordinary contributions to Delta Upsilon Fraternity. The year progressed in a less than smooth manner, challenging Dave and his staff with numerous accounting and operational situations. Installation of new financial systems, software, hardware, and personnel demanded smart, hard work and that was put forth successfully by all, ending the year as a much stronger and improved operation. These changes and upgrades are the keystone in providing the service center mentality and excellence in chapter support. Net assets declined during the year by approximately $90,000 as investment returns were unable to keep pace with the prior year’s exemplary results; and, our operating deficit was unable to be offset by other earnings. The operating deficit was on-target with our approved budget and nevertheless does reflect disciplined expense control. Budget adjustments in subsequent years will need to be considered should we anticipate continued lower investment returns. However to keep things in perspective, this year’s normal transfer of $123,913 from the Permanent Trust Fund to the General Operating Fund was adequate to fully cover the entire operating deficit. THE PERMANENT TRUST FUND is a Board designated fund supporting the Fraternity with an annual allocation of investment revenue and principal. As mentioned earlier, that
support was $123,913 in this fiscal period. The Fund held its own without market decline in the face of lower and mixed markets. Net assets amounted to $1,659,735 at year end. This Fund continues to be managed by Brother Maury Mandel, Chicago ’55, and we thank him for his continued dedication and highly valued service to our Fraternity. THE LOSS PREVENTION FUND is the other designated fund within our Fraternity and it supports our efforts to maintain reasonable insurance rates for our members. At the end of the year net assets stand at $710,864 and are available as insurance reserves for the future. It is noteworthy that our Fraternity has had excellent claim experience over the past five years and chapter insurance premiums are among the lowest charged to any

large fraternity. Loss prevention training and management are major components of all of our chapter member education and conference programs. Insurance revenue and expense comprises the largest single category of cash flow of fraternity management. INVESTMENT IN BUILDING BETTER MEN The core purpose of Delta Upsilon is Building Better Men. In support of this purpose our professional staff continues to execute exciting programming that meets the challenge of developing leaders within Delta Upsilon for the 21st Century. Programming dollars were again directed to our exemplary educational conferences. Undergraduate member fees as well as chapter based fees cover only a portion of these costs. During the past year grants of $88,173 from the Delta Upsilon Educational Foundation as well $123,913 from the Permanent Trust Fund were used to subsidize programming costs. FUNDING PROGRAMMING GROWTH - To support Building Better Men at our chapters it is essential to cover the cost of our membership education programming by revenue growth. Revenue growth has come and will continue to come from three sources: 1. Undergraduate Fees — in 2004-05, individual member fees were held at $100 per man per year. Future revenue growth will come from efforts to increase average chapter size, as well as normal inflationary fee increases. Research shows that chapters must maintain an average membership size of 40 men to maintain financial viability. I encourage all alumni to help your chapters meet this challenge of expanding membership. 2. Permanent Trust Fund - with assets of $1.66 million this fund provides additional support to the Fraternity’s operations. During 2004-05, $123,913 was transferred from the Permanent Trust Fund to the General Operating Fund of the Fraternity for educational programming. It is the policy of the Board of Directors to restrict withdrawals from the Permanent Trust Fund to 7% of year-end assets. 3. Delta Upsilon Educational Foundation Alumni financial support is received in the form of grants from the Foundation. This year grants amounted to $88,000, down from $96,000 the prior year. The Fraternity is very grateful for the support of the alumni base that contributes to the Foundation to support the educational initiatives of the Fraternity. We are looking forward to increases in the amounts available for grants as investment returns improve and fundraising efforts continue to expand.

Endowing Leadership Institute Scholarships David H. Wynja, Iowa ’67
Brother Wynja grew up in a small town in Iowa and subsequently attended the University of Iowa. He recalls that he had a very good fraternity experience at Iowa and he, as well as his DU brothers, benefited greatly from the house mother’s oversight and guidance. He now lives in Colorado and owns a manufacturer’s rep agency which he has operated for 27 years. He has chosen to give back to the Fraternity in the form of endowing a Leadership Institute scholarship through the Educational Foundation’s A New Chapter in Leadership – the Campaign for Delta Upsilon. “The prime reason for young men to be at college is their education, and the guidance they receive such as in etiquette training and leadership skills makes their journey through their college years more enjoyable. They are learning to socialize, have fun, and apply and hone their leadership skills. “They establish relationships that will help keep them in school and prepare them for their post-college careers as well as community involvement and family life. “I would encourage anyone who has had an enjoyable college fraternity experience to assist the Educational Foundation in making it possible for today’s DU undergraduates, and those future DUs, to attend the Leadership Institute. The leadership skills they learn individually and in groups will benefit them immeasurably for the rest of their business and personal lives.”

James A. “Jim” Les, Bradley ’86, head men’s basketball coach for the Bradley University Braves, led his squad to the Sweet Sixteen in the NCAA Tournament this past season (with a record of 22-11). It was the first time since 1955 that the team had advanced that far … the ultimate loss was to Memphis; but there is next season with eight carry over players and three new men joining the team. Brother Les was a ball boy 1972-75; point guard 1983-86; and then selected in the third round of the NBA draft in 1986. He played seven seasons in the NBA with Utah, LA Clippers, Sacramento, and Atlanta. He was an assistant for WNBA Sacramento Monarchs for three years. The Braves 2001-02 season was 9-20, and their first three seasons under Coach Les had a record of 40-49. Les said that his Delta Upsilon experience was positive and supportive and he believes the values and principles demonstrated by DU are beneficial lessons for any young man. He learned much about coaching while playing in the NBA and noted from each of the coaches for whom he played those traits and practices that he has proven to himself to be bench marks of the successful teams and players individually. Coach Les coaches the whole player, practicing the sport of basketball, but remembering the entire person, his life style and potential. Go Braves!
The Alumni Association of the University of Chicago has presented Maurice S. Mandel, Chicago ’55, with a service citation for “service through alumni programs, on advisory committees, and through efforts made to ensure the welfare of the institution.” Brother Mandel began serving the University while an undergraduate in the college, president of the Delta Upsilon Fraternity, and a member of the yearbook staff. In an era of major curricular transition, he received an AB from the Hutchins College in 1956 and an AB from the Business School in 1957. In the five decades since his graduation, Maury has volunteered on the reunion committees of both classes and served as chairman for the 45th and 50th reunions of the College Class of 1956. As a member of the New York Leadership Cabinet, Brother Mandel has recruited new volunteers for the University and encouraged generous giving by fellow alumni. His work has been a major part of the University’s efforts to increase alumni engagement and expand the University community in the New York area. Maury was recognized in 2001 with Delta Upsilon’s Distinguished Alumnus Award, a much-deserved award for his years of dedication and selfless service to both the Fraternity and the Educational Foundation. He remains today involved, loyal, and more than willing to assist Delta Upsilon in every way. Delta Upsilon - The Men’s Non-Secret Fraternity

April 6 to 9, three DU brothers put aside their homework and everyday pursuits to practice their Army trade for those days. Chris Curtiss ’08, Matthew Ward ’07, and Michael Wheat ’09 traveled to Camp Navajo, near Flagstaff, Arizona, to partake in a new kind of ROTC exercise – a “joint” exercise. For the first time in nearly a decade, ASU ROTC joined the services from Northern Arizona University, the University of Arizona, and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in a JFTX (Joint Field Training Exercise). All three DU brothers achieved high scores in both day and night land navigation across a mountainous and heavily wooded course. All three either received positive “spot” evaluations for exceptional displays of tactical or technical proficiency, or larger positive performance evaluations, indicating competence, dedication, and professionalism.This is what all have come to expect from the growing number of ROTC cadets who choose to follow the path espoused by Delta Upsilon.
