...Junior Dance Committee met last evening and decided that in view of the serious situation due to the coal shortage, it would be inadvisable to hold the dance until such time as that situation should change for the better. The original plan was to give the dance in the Union on February 12. This arrangement would have been within the letter of Fuel Administrator Storrow's ruling in regard to the 10 o'clock closing hour, for the Union is not considered either a public or a private dance hall, but the committee felt that to postpone the function would...

...difficulty of the plan is rather for students who live outside of Cambridge and who have to come in every day. The Council thought that even these men would be willing to fall into accord with the new schedule. But it is from these men that it wishes to hear.

The plan will not interfere with preparation for the coming mid-years, since even if it is favorably received, it will not go into...
