Perhaps it is because of this strong optimism
toward life that Rice has succeeded as one of the
entrepreneurs of education a t ASU.
Although Rice’s specialization has been in the
education field, he b e ^ n his career as a chemistry
teacher.'A fter receiving his B.S. and M.S. degrees
• in chem istry Bice went on for his Ph.D in
Education.
“The switch to education m ay just have been
chance,” said Rice. With a smile and nod he con­
tinued, “I thought teachers could be trained to
teach m ath and science bettor. So much of our; life
is dependent upon what has grown out of the science
field /’
Arriving at ASU in 1946, Rice ta u ^ t dJbttftes'in
secondary education and psychology.”F o u r years
later he was appointed Director of Summer
Sessions and then promoted to dean. It was (hiring

this tim e the professor began his work in adult
•education.
|g § |
i: ‘ p |
Although he hesitated to adm it that he was one
of three iMtiators of the program, his feelings about
it were quite strong.
“We’re living longer and education is a con­
tinuous process from the first day of life to'the
last,” said Rice. After a long draw cm his tobacco
pipe he added, “In adult education we train mostly
those to teach in and adm inister a t a ll levels.
There’s a great need for this in such industires as
business, hospitals arid community colleges.” The
tall, thin, silver-haired professor clarified his
definition by'adding, “It’s merely a process for
individuals to satisfy certain needs that a r e .
provoked by the society in which, we live, whether
vocational,, social or intellectual in nature.”
Rice’s continuing contribution to the area has
been honored with an award of m erit received in
May from the Rocky Mountain Plains Adult
Education Association which represents seven
states in the Rocky Mountain area.

ASU makes dormitory rooms available in the sum m er
even though the 420 current residents are less than required
for the operation to break e v en /
“That just doesn’t pay for opening the building,” said
Russell Flaherty, housing director. Re said the loss m ust be
m ade up from housing revenues gathered during regular
sem esters, when campus residents number between 3,500
and €000. ■... '
« -S i/
RfCk Shindell, unit (firectorat Palo Verde West where men
are housed, saiddorm itory resident’s attitudes have changed
during the five years he has worked for the housing depart­
ments j / f . v
“Students won’t put up with the sam e lack ofprivacy, They
are quicker to demand legal rights, he.said.
“People have the sam e rights as in apartm ents,” be
added, a view echoedby Flaherty. ^
Unannounced room checks, a sign-out sheet for women,
and a ban on room visitation by the opposite sex have been
elim inated in dorms, Shindell said. §
He said men and women students arc allowed to visit each
others rooms from noon to midnight weekdays and until ¡2
a.m . A sign posted in Palo Verde E ast, the women’s dorm,
says visiting hours end a t I I ; 30 p.m. and 1:30 a.m.

women m ust knock to be let in.
Housing Direct«* Flaherty, Shindell, and Steve Forrest,
unit director a t P.V. E ast, said cases of m arijuana use jn the
dorm s are usually referred to the Dean of Students office for
possible disciplinary action.'/' / . ■ ■ •
Shindell and Forrest said they have the option of calling the
police, but preferred not to give a student a crim inal record.

Flaherty said housing officials have a legal obhgation to
report and discourage m arijuana use in dorms. The three
indicated unit directors use some discretion in drug m atters.
Dorm residents 19 years of age have recently been
allowed to bring alcoholic beverages into their rooms.
Housinapfficials said sum m er dorm students are on the
average older, spend more tim e studying, and are more
serious about school, resulting in fewer problems and
disturbances in dorms.
The older students a t sum m er school include teachers and
other professionals back to m eet credentials requirements or
earn promotions.
Sumer students choose to attend classes when most other
students are relaxing, thus they are generally more
dedicated, the officials said. ; /
*
Students pay $86 to share a room or $172 for a private room
for a five:week session.
Dormitories open during the summer are not public hotels,
Housing Director Flaherty said, but he adds guest space is
available to visiting students and others “affiliated with the
educational process.’’ The price for yisitors is $5.00 the first
day, $3.50 thereafter.
Both men and women students eat in P.V. E ast’s cafeteria,
They have a choice of buying 10 meal tickets for $14.25, Or 15
tickets for $15.00 for weekday meals. On weekends, meals are
paid for a t the door.

contract enables^ Professor
ASU adm inistrators traveled to Monterrey, Mexico
June 13 to sign a student exchange agreem ent with of­
ficials of the Universidad Autonomía Nuevo Leon.
The delegation, headed by ASU president John Schwada, included H r. V. Alonzo Metcalf, administrative
vice president, Dr. Robert Knox, chairman of the
economics departm ent and Dr. Lewis Tambs, director of
the ASU Center for Lathi American Studies.
The agreement, signed by the both presidents of the
universities, is aided by the Weatherhead Foundation. It
will enable two ASU students toattend ¿he University of
Nuevo Leon this fall. Two Mexican students in turn will
attend ASU.
’
* . >
ASU students, Patrick Static and David Whitéhofn,
both Spanish majors, have been selected to .attend the
Mexican university and will live with Mexican families
throughout the school year.
The program, while prim arily educational in nature,
also focuses on promoting trade and cultural un­
derstanding between the two nations.
Tambs said students may apply in May for the
program. “Students are selected mainly on their
seriousness about studying in Mexico,” he said, “and
there is no required m ajor although an understanding of
Spanish is necessary so that the students may do well in ’
school.”

R ice's concern' j- fo r
education was not limited to
the adult level. His interest
in safety education promp­
ted him to help initiate a
program a t ASU.
“We are a mobile society
and you have to be con­

With a chuckle he
proceeded to dig through a
filing cabinet draw er full of
grade books, one for each
class he has ever taught a t
ASU.
“Oh, I keep all my files
so when questions come up
that’s one source I have,”
Said Rice.
