We have selected 55 massive eclipsing binary star candidates from the All Sky Automated Survey's third data release (Pojmanski 2002) as targets for spectroscopic observation with a 2160 grooves per mm grating on the DeVeny Spectrograph at the 72-inch Perkins Telescope at Lowell Observatory. Candidates were selected based on three criteria: 1) photometric colors and spectral types found in the literature; 2) systems with a brightness limit of V < 11; 3) systems with an orbital period of 6 days or less. In preparation for spectroscopic observations, we have computed updated ephemeri for the stars using the Eclipsing Light Curve program (ELC; Orosz and Hauschildt 2000) to aid in scheduling observations near quadrature. The goal of the spectroscopic observations is to obtain radial velocities and orbital elements and to combine these with the light curves to obtain fundamental quantities such as mass and radius for a number of B and A type stars.
