Dead and Gone
Almost Forgotten
Intensive search with a high powered magnifying glass
f.iled to reveal any clues,
"Where is that once-powerful governing hotly, the Student
Council, keeping itself? Is it, or is it not now an obsolete ac
tivity on the campus? Has the war hrought ahout the complete
disintegration of an organization that has hitherto ranked high
in the aspirations of many an activity man and women, that
has l)rou ght ahout prestige and authority to those in office,
that has occasionally hrought something of real importance to
tl.e foreground and accomplished valuable deeds?
For. a major activity on the campus, the student council is
iiicomprehensively silent ihis fall. It has been inactive for a
longer time than most members, if lln-re are such life, would
care lo admit. Last year it's mission on the campus was purch
a political one. It furnished points for junior activity men and
women.. Points are now out of date in the case of women, and
there aren't many activity men left. Does that mean that the
JS'.udcnt Council is going to cease functioning?
- There is a definite need on this campus for a governing
body composed of students. Now as ever coeds and men should
have a say in what goes on, should have some method of control
over all the other organizations on this campus. The Council
lias many prerogatives along this line. It has a good deal of
responsibility towards the whole school. And even the fact that
it offers an excellent, and perhaps one of the onlv. places in
school where a student can get a great deal of actual expe
rience in parliamentary procedure and government is enougl
to make its continuance worthwhile, even during wartime.
The first sign that it would become a definitely inactive
group was the fact that no regular election was held last spring
to elect new members. A new proportional representation sys
tem was set up for hold-over lections, we understand. Well
and good. Hut something else is needed besides holdover mem
bers. The excuse offered for not having an election was. per
baps, a plausible one, that it was impossible to ascertain who
would be back in school. Plans could have been actually made
for holding an election this fall, however, and so far no such
plans have presented themselves.
We advocate holding an election as soon as possible, to
bring ihe Council back lo life again, to make it once more one
of the main activities on the campus, political as well as essen
tial. I Sut if this isn't done, we hope action is taken to make it
lawfully inactive, that some measure is passed declaring it nil
until the war is ended.
Who wants a Council that both is and isn't?

War Must Go On
The collapse of ltalv is onlv a step nearer the termination
of the war. It is of great impoi lance, but it is far from being
deciding factor.
The powerful German army still is to be whipped. This
probably, is the last time, in many years, that ihe Germans will
le in position to wage war. Twice within a quarter of a ceii-
t.iry the Germans have plunged the world into war in tlie nop.
t.f becoming overlords of all peophs.
The Allied nations must see to it, this lime, that her mili
tary might is broken and her sources of weapons of war abso
Jlilcly destroyed.
The German lenders know the meaning of thewoids "un
conditional surrender"' and will fight as long as they can kecj
their own people in hand and there seems the slightest hope
winning, or, at least, prolonging the inevitable end.
There is certain to be heavi. r fighting than any ihe Hrit
ili and Americans yet have encountered. There will be iuereas
;if toll of our forces winch will call for greater ell'.rt am
more determination lo see it through as nuickly as possible
The I'ntied States of America has been actively taking part for
two years) and those qualified to express opinions insist w
may be at it for as much longer.
The folks at home can shorten tbe period and help delivr
the knockout blow by supporting President Roosevelt and our
jnilitary-naval leaders as they lead us to victory.
Jjist Wer Wondering'.
This past, summer a strong and earnest t
tempt was made by the alumni of th fra
ternities on the campus to come to some de
cision as to the conduct of fraternities during
this war period. Whatever vras decided wag
done too late to benefit the houses successfully
this fall. We think that the houses would be
more than rewarded if they eould organize A
joint council of both alums and actives.
It is impossible for the alumni group to act
with a full knowledge of conditions a they
exist on the campus. On the other side, under-
grads can't he expected to act with the wis
dom of the gods. With action from both ends
of the line it would at least be certain that
messes like the past week could be avoided.
The lack of any type of formal rush week was
almost disastrous to three or four houses.
While there were around :!00 freshmen men. to
date approximately 80 or 8." have - pledged.
And at that one house got much better than
one-third of that number.
Another thing that might be examined is
why one co-op boarding house had a complete
list of the men enlering school. If such a list
was available, why weien't the fiats in
formed? If it was not. how could one co-op
obtain it? The answer certainly could be par
tially found in that the active chapters, altho
unstable and changing constantly, had prac
tically no voice in their destiny.
The reason the rushing season turned out
so unsatisfactorily is because no one knew they
could rush. It was a pretty humorous situa
tion to say the lenst. Thirty or forty years of
work by actives in chapters before this time
was not meant to be lost simply because
present-day actives don't sink together. With
unified action during this year pledging can
continue and we can have an orderly rush
week next fall. What's wrong with an Inter
fraternity Council? Michael.
