Two new dormitories were official- ly dedicated during the fall semester: Massie Residence Hall for Women, which has been open for two years, and Massie Residence Hall for Men, which opened in the fall of 1984.The twin dorms are named in honor of Robert and Mary Payne Massie, whose memorial foundation has pro- vided scholarships for West Texas students since the l930's.

Symposium examines Values ASU students and faculty took a look at the views, values, and a aspi- rations of Americans when the Uni- versity and the Honors Fraternity Council presented the University Symposium: Perspectives on American Values. The Symposium brought speakers to enrich the academic environment by discovering the who, how, and why of the ways Americans have shaped their society. Three distinguished speakers gave lectures. Guest speakers were Dr. Elise Boulding of Dartmouth College and the University of Colorado, Dr. Peter French, Lennox Distinguished Professor at Trinity University, and Dr. William H. McNeill, Robert A. Millikan Distinguished Service Pro- fessor and instructor at the Universi- ty of Chicago. Dr. Boulding spoke on Neighbor- hood Values in a Global Context and said that through the reinforcement of neighborhood values, and the link- ing of neighborhoods with common interests on a transnational basis, the U.S. can make a different kind of contribution to peace. Dr. French said that the outlook for women in business is good, and that big corpo- rations are considering women for all levels of management. Dr. McNeill spoke on The Fron- tier and American Values, and said that all Americans want to be rich, free, equal, and virtuous. He added that all these are unattainable. Other speakers appeared through- out the fall semester. Among them were Dr. Bruce Chadwick, who spoke on his findings in the Middletown III study. Professor Charles Edgley of Okla- homa State University spoke on the new feminism. Dr. William Martin lectured on the popular religions and the role they played in the 1984 election.
