Alpha Delta and its alumni
made a few appearance in the
Spring 2011 issue of the Mis-
souri S&T Magazine. In case
you missed them, here is a snap
shot:
On page 10, in the article “The
Way They Ate”. Beginning
with the Grubstakers in 1902,
eating clubs flourished on cam-
pus. Some lasted for only a
few years, like Beanery, Cor-
sairs and Placers. Five would
reorganize themselves as fra-
ternities: Muckers’ Club be-
came Lambda Chi Alpha;
Grubstakers Club became Tri-
angle; and Mercier Club be-
came Theta Kappa Phi, which
eventually became Phi Kappa
Theta.
On page 19, in the article “The
Highs and Lows of Adventure
Clubs”. The club [MO S&T
Skydiving Club] was officially
recognized by the university in
2004, but it was inactive when
Payne came to S&T in 2007,
due to a plane crash, which
killed S&T senior Robert
Cook (AD 1288) and five
others. Cook, a certified sky-
diving instructor, saved the life
of an Australian tourist by posi-
tioning himself to take the full
impact when their plane hit the
ground. In 2008, Cook posthu-
mously received the Australian
Star of Courage Award, one of
that nation’s top bravery
awards.
On page 23, in the article
“Keith Bailey to Grads: Em-
brace Change and Progress”.
Keith Bailey (AD 585) gave
the Dec 18, 2010 commence-
ment address at Missouri S&T.
Bailey is currently non-
executive chair of Cloud Peak
Energy, the nation’s third larg-
est coal producer. He is also
on the boards of Apco Interna-
tional Oil and Gas, Aegis, Mark-
west Energy Partners and Inte-
grys Energy.

Alumni Notes and Mail
Richard Gasaway AD1057 has written and published a new book, “An Incon-
venient Purpose- Linking Godly Stewardship and Alternative Energy (http://
www.aninconvenientpurpose.com/). Having worked in the power generation
industry for 20 years, he sees a great need to develop cleaner and more
diverse energy supplies, especially given the continuing unrest in the Middle
East along with rising fuel prices.
Gary Amsinger AD 867 wrote: “I enjoyed the newsletter. I believe this is a
good idea to keep alumni in touch, I wouldn't be surprised to see donations
increase. Keep up the good work. I may even dig up some old photos I have
in a album and send some in.”
Rob Bailey AD 970 wrote “I will always remember fondly what Alpha Delta
meant to my life and my best friends are from that part of my life. Brothers
from my time in Alpha Delta were more supportive during my open heart
surgery for a bad heart valve than some of my family, so the bonds still are
strong. With a lot of the guys now getting to the age where kids are graduat-
ing high school, you should start seeing more participation as there will be
more free time.
Mrs Curtis and Edward Peet AD 459 circa 1958
The Lambda Chi Alpha Social
Fraternity was founded at Bos-
ton University in 1909, and has
grown to become one of the
largest national social fraterni-
ties. There are 146 chapters
throughout the United States
and Canada. The M.S.M. Chap-
ter was originated in 1913 and
was then known as the
“Mucker’s Club”. Alpha Delta
Zeta came into being when this
club was admitted to Lambda
Chi Alpha Fraternity in 1917.
Since its installment, the chap-
ter has participated in all
school activities. A lot of en-
thusiasm and team spirit has
pushed our intramural sports
standing away up on the list.
We shared in the Homecoming
honors this year by snagging
third place for our Homecom-
ing Display.
The gay social season at 606
Walnut commenced with the
Annual Pledge Dance early in
the fall. This event was fol-
lowed later with the Harvest
Dance and the Christmas
Dance.
Of course, our prime interests
here at M.S.M. are the advance-
ment of the individual and the
advancement of the fraternity.
