Speaking of Chief Illiniwek, in the past few years the chief logo has been replaced by a block I on most university merchandise. Having grown up in Champaign I have something of an attachment to the chief and I know that several of my fellow lodge members are very strong supporters of the chief. As far as OA ceremonies are concerned I dont think there will be a problem as long we continue to conduct them with the respect that they deserve. As has already been said cooperation and understanding are probably the best way to avoid any issues.

I work on a camp staff and we use silver loops on the kaki uniforms. When I first started on staff we were all registered as explorers in addition to our regular unit registrations, now we register as ventures. At one time we had a set of green uniforms that we used for flags but we stopped doing that a few years ago.
