The Outside World By WILLIE DESCH Staff Writer Investigation To Continue WASHINGTON The Senate investigations of the McCarthy Army controversy will not be ended at the present time. Senators voted down rival Republican and Democratic proposals aimed at shortening the public hearings. The vote on each was 4-3 and the man who swung the votes was Chairman Mundt (R-SD). Mundt separated from his Republican colleagues to knock out a plan by Sen. Dirksen (R-Ill) which called for the hearings to be suspended after testimony by Secretary of the Army Stevens and Sen. McCarthy. The subcommittee debated for a complete day before ending up with the Dirksen plan wrecked on a stand by Secretary of the Army Stevens that it would not be fair to the Army. U.S. Favors New Alliance WASHINGTON The United States would like to initiate a Southeast Asian alliance which would pledge member nations to light if openly challenged by Communist aggression, said Secretary of State Dulles.. Dulles also said that he hoped such an alliance would cover all of Indo-China although the loss of some or all of that country would not necessarily bring the loss of all Southeast Asia. It is hoped that this alliance will protect Southeast Asia from falling even if Indo-China falls. Asian Defense Pact Hit GENEVA The Western-proposed Asian defense pact has been accused of being an American scheme designed to preserve and perpetuate colonialism by Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. Molotoy. Molotov said he is in favor of the proposals by Red Chinas Premier Chou En-lai that the Asian countries settle their own problems. He declared again that Red China is at the Geneva conference as one of the big powers and that it has the same status as the Big Four. However the West has rejected this stand. Partitioning Of Alaska? WASHINGTON If statehood-seeking Alaskans won't settle for partitioning of Alaska "they probably will get nothing," said Chairman Miller (R-Neb) of the House Interior Committee. He made this statement at a meeting with more than 50 Alaskans who arrived in the U. S. to try and urge on Alaskan statehood. Miller also said that he had not given up hope on the Hawaii-Alaska bill which was passed by the Senate earlier. He said he believed that the bill would pass the House if it reached the floor. Under the partition plan, only the populated areas of Alaska would be brought in as a state. fx smms He will head the music commit tee next year.

J. P. Colbert, dean of student affairs, said, "The University knows that the very large per centage of the student body is loyal to the University, wishes to abide by the rules and regu lations which have been estab lished to preserve order and protect the rights of everyone. "The University is well aware that the student body regrets acts of vandalism and personal injuries on the part of students as does the University adminis tration. "THE UNIVERSITY is well aware of the fact that only a handful of irresponsible persons, students" and perhafps' a few non-students, were responsible for the defiance of University regulations with respect to en tering the Women's Residence Halls and destroying University property. Persons apprehended in acts of violence against state property or property of other persons will of necessity be pun ished." Colbert commented that no disciplinary action has been taken yet. He pointed out that the mild spring season and the fact that this was Monday night after house meetings combined to produce a situation encourag ing students to let off steam. Frank Hallgren, associate dean of student affairs, explainad that Colbert's statement represented the department. He added that some persons have suggested es tablishing an official event de signed to release students' ex cess energy. Hallgren smilingly suggested he has considered reserving an unimproved 10-acre tract in which students could be placed for a few days in the spring. Chancellor John K.
