D?U Alumni Fund Gels Record Sum

An all-time record total of $71,922 was contributed to the DePauw University Alumni Fund during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1954, Alumni Secretary Robert E. Crouch an-noum-ed today. It was the second straight year for a new high in contributions, with last year's total reaching $62,971. The goal for 1953-54 wes $60,000. According to Crouch, the goal for the current year has been raised to $75,000. Another record was established with 8973 individual contributors. an increase of 2104 over last year and of 5471 over 1951-52. The increases again resulted in part from the integration of the Alumni Fund with the Greater Program, current development campaign at the university. Subscriptions to the development progr am are credited to the Alumni Fund over a two-year period at the rate of four and two-tenths percent each year. In July $70,000 was transferred from the Fund to the university. where it is being used for - the support and increase of faculty and staff salaries.

EIGHT NATIONS SIGN MUTUAL DEFENSE PACT

SOI THF \ST ASIA TREATY OPPOSES KED AGGRESSION. SUBVERSION

MANILA. P. I . Sept 8—(UP) Eight nations signed today a treaty that merged the free East and West in a common front against further subversion and aggression in Southeast Asia. Sweating delegates of the participating nations Signed the historic pact in the hot and humid Philippine Senate on a horseshoe shaped table especially designed for the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization SEATO conference. The ceremony started at 5 a. nr. EDT directly beneath the Senate rostrum behind which stood the flags of the SEATD nations Australia, France, New Zealand, Pakistan, the Philippines, Thailand, the United States and the United Kingdom. The delegates also created a “Pacifu 1 Charter.” aimed against colonialism in Asia. A drive was expected to start immediately to bring additional members into SEATO, an Asiatic "Monroe Doctrine” that binds members to a defense against the encroachments of aggressor nations. Outstanding provisions of the pm-t. proposed last April by U. S Secretary of State John Foster Dulles when Communist China stepped up its aid to the Red Indochinese in the battle for Dien Bien Phi. were: 1. If a member nation becomes a victim of attack or subversion, others will consult and, after complying with constitutional requirements help the injured partners. 2. Members will cooperate in combating subversion by improving the economic health and social well-being of each other. Signing of the accord was considered a personal victory for Dulles, not only because he proposed it but because he succeeded in getting the conference to plara a “mantle of protection" over Laos, Cambodia and free Viet Nam—the associated states of Indochina. The delegates seamed to have a unanimous feeling that the Manila meeting was a great success and their action will strengthen the free nations of Asia.
