Merit downs politics Something happened in Student Council meet ing Wednesday which does not deserve to be passed by without notice. A member of the minority faction on the Council was elected as a hold-over member to serve again with next year's group. The Council recognized the meritious work which this man has done all year and re-named him without regard for party affiliation. Such a thing has not happened for a very long time, and it can be- considered a major victory for both the student body and the Council. Faction politic have their place, but that place is not in a student governing body. It is an honor to sit on the Council, but the organization is not an honorary. It is a place for hard work and enthus iastic endeavor on behalf of the students and school which its members represent, and politics can play no part in that. No one who fails to shoulder his re sponsibility as a member of such a body even de serves to be a member, much less a hold-over mem ber. And for the mutual good of the Council and its constituents, any one who does his job well should be re-elected without fail since such persons are not so numerous as to be easily replaced. Although this year's Council has not yet set the campus afire with its activity, nevertheless it has indicated itself a serious-minded, conscientious group, in many ways superior to any Council for a number of years. It recognised the vote of the stu dent body this spring asking for a campus election of Prom Committees by agreeing to follow such a change. At the same time it recognised that the Council is not the sort of organisation to be en gaged in staging parties and asked to be relieved of the sponsorship of future Junior-Senior Proms. Such action waa both magnanimous, in giving up a tradi tional political plum, and wise. The Council has a itpecific function, student legislation And government, and la not a general service group such as some other campus societies. Its operating fund Is de signed for that specific function and la not com patible with party-giving, as was demonstrated in the question of this year's Prom deficit. Under more suitable sponsorship, the Prom doubtless can regain its old success and prestige as a major campus party, and the Student Council will no longer be burdened by an activity outside its line. Yes, this year's Council has shown a number of times that K Is not a run-of-the-mill group, and its latest action in the election of really deserving hold over members is a fitting climax. It deserves a great deal of credit for having the courage and foresight to break a very strong though IH-concelved prece dent, and It is to be hoped that this may prove in dicative of a new course to be followed by future Councils. Certainly It is to be hoped that no matter what faction holds a majority on tht Council In years to come, H wilt follow the lead of this year's group in never sacrificing the purpose of the Coun cil by slighting worthy members of minority groups NAZIS PUSH ON It is beginning to look as though the allies are getting the worst of the bargain in Norway where German motorized units yesterday smashed through several allied sectors to drive the allies to the wall. Besides their victory on the most important Trond hcim front, the Germans shoved back defenders in the Osterdalen valley and reportedly occupied Rores, 180 miles north of Oslo and only 70 miles south east of Trondheim across Norway's narrow waist. The Germans evidently threw all their strength into the project of occupying all of the territory northward from Oslo to Norway's narrow belt near Trondheim. The allies only chance now seems to be to drive down the strategic Gudbrandsal valley which Germans took yesterday, but where they have not yet entrenched themselves. Evident aim of the German High Command is to push down from Trondheim and up from Oslo to gain control of Central Norway and the railroads which run through that section. As yet the Nor wegian defenders and the allies are holding the section. The allies struck at Trondheim again yesterday, but by the time the latest reports came in from both sides there seemed to be little gain made by either side with the Nazis still holding the city, where they have dug in, and the allies trying to at tack the Nasi fortifications. Both sides were re ported to have suffered heavy losses around the northern city. a a. a i . a it. . rvtr i i ai uie same ume, uie L-iMii oinciai oerman news f,nnM, mM- riroranh- "ITnrWlvinir Orom agency issued the threat that Germany would reply on for the weirs bUmder is a 1 fault in "KsAwt Vi 4 rwrviK" it tVta TVitioVi vinf mna a-Vi Q f ildaf- U S. minister is treated like a ira- the administration or our aipio- ternity pledge during "Hell Week" by many a college editorialist.

The Harvard Crimson adds a Key to- the majority opinion was ringing "Amen" to the Wisconsin perhaps set by a recent widely paper's remarks with this pungent "bomb for bomb" if the British continue what Ger mans allege was the bombing of towns without military importance. Of course, individual victories mean very little as yet, for the terrain of the country is just as hard to hold as it is easy for motorized units to take. The side that will win in Norway is the side that can hold on to the territory in wins. As yet the Germans have all of the advantages for they were there first, and got a chance to get themselves es tablished long before the allies and Norwegians were able to get underway. As has been constantly true for the last few days unless the belligerents are able to dig in it is next to impossible to hold any thing because of the terrain. In the central portion of the country the allies are entrenched so unless the Germans do something drastic it looks like the war in the north too may become a stalemate. matic service.

However lightly Cromwell him self may be treated, there is little levity in the editorial consideration of the implications of his speech. The University of Iowa Daily Iowan thinks that Secretary of State Cordell Hull's stinging re buke of Cromwell is "a deserved reminder of the diplomat's posi tion," and continues: "Cromwell knew when he spoke that he was pledged to a policy of neutrality. He defied orders from Washington about headquarters approval of all his utterances, on the grounds that as a private citizen he had a right What price advertising ask eight pledges to to y what he wanted.
