...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 be more in keeping with the spirit of the order. The committee expects that it will be possible...
...action of the 1919 Committee in deciding to postpone the annual Junior Dance in the Union is worthy of much commendation. There seems to be no doubt that the plans for the dance could have been carried through without transgressing Mr. Storrow's order for the closing of public and private places of amusement at 10 o'clock, but any violation of the spirit in which that order was issued would, in effect, be a violation of the order itself. If it had been thought practicable by the Fuel Administration in New England to cause all dances held in private...

I am nevertheless satisfied to leave it all to Mr. Storrow until he is proved incompetent...
...hours of the University be made. Primarily, of course, it will economize coal; the eventual result will be for all undergraduates to get up and go to bed an hour earlier, and thereby to substitute an hour of inexpensive sunlight for expensive kilowatts and calories. Then, too, if Mr. Storrow's program is followed there will be fewer reasons for late hours than formerly--and "early to bed and late to rise" would surely be an ill advised principle, although the fuel administration may seem to advocate...
Things do look bad, but a little privation only reminds us that we are at war,--a fact we are often wont to forget. Moreover, the mid-years are coming nearer and nearer, and the new law gives us a gentle hint to do a little work; Mr. Storrow's restriction may even save us from the annual post-examination call on Mr. Cram. To make Boston deader than it is seems an unnecessary blow, especially with New York revelling practically as of yore. Still, coal must be saved and until warm weather comes our motto must be: Off with...
