What’s a beauty pageant without lipstick, short skirts, world peace, and…girls?

It’s the annual Alpha Gamma Delta sorority philanthropy Mr. DU. The program featured a male beauty contest and two male streakers while raising money for juvenile diabetes.

Fifteen of the school’s top men competed in three competitions last Wednesday night at Sturm Auditorium. Emcees Farah Poc and last year’s winnter, Max Goldberg introduced the contestants throughout the show

Before the field was cut down to five, contestants Collin Krum, Jon Webb, Nick Sauer, Mark Ballegeer, Austin Feagan, Todd Martinez, Brian Kates, Josh Schaer, Mike Brehn, David Busch, Jose Silva and Keith Bachman had to impress the crowd in the formal wear, boxer shorts, and talent competitions.

Webb took the title in a skimpy boxer shorts competition, despite competition from Schaer and his red thong. Silva looked the best in a suit in the formal wear competition. The real highlight of the show, however, was the wild talent competition.

Features included “Afro Man,” a song composed and sung by contestant Feagan, Kates’ shirtless rendition of “I Touch Myself,” Martinez’s “Country Song,” Nick Sauer’s presidential impressions, and a variety of different thongs.

The contestants really pulled out all the stops and after the dust had cleared, only Silva, Webb, Busch, Feagan, and Sauer were left standing. After a Miss America-like questions round, the judges deliberated, declaring the afro-bearing Feagan the winner.

However, the show did not go off without a hitch. Some of the performances were cancelled due to a malfunctioning sound system. The dance team’s cancellation left a 20-minute hole in the program while the judges deliberated, which gave time for streakers to invade the auditorium and the audience to shift in their seats. The identities of the streakers are unknown at this time.

This year marks Mr. DU’s 10th anniversary as the Alpha Gamma Delta philanthropy. The proceeds from Mr. DU will go to the Alpha Delta Gamma foundation for Juvenile Diabetes.

AGD Philanthropy Chair Danielle Anderson figured the program to be a success, despite some glitches with the program.

“Our main objective for Mr. DU was to raise money for our philanthropy, which were successful with,” she said. “It’s unfortunate about the sound system and there isn’t much we could have done to prevent the streakers.”

The sorority, a 75-year DU staple, typically raises $1,500-$2,000 every year. The Mr. DU male pageant raised $1,800 this year.
