To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

The Student Council Committee on Organizations desires to call attention to the Date-Book, which is being kept this fall in pursuance of the plan so successfully carried out last year.

The Date-Book is a public calendar of coming events. Its scope is very broad. It not only aims to present a complete calendar of events, but also,--and perhaps even more important,--it undertakes to arrange dates in advance in such a way as to avoid conflicts. For example, the dates for the Symphony Concerts in Sanders, the Whiting Recitals, the Noble Lectures, etc., were arranged by means of the Date-Book; and events of University interest, from meetings of Registered ("interest") Clubs, to dramatic productions of the various organizations, come within its scope.

But unless those who have in charge the arranging of dates co-operate with the committee, the usefulness of the Date-Book will be considerably impaired. Only by consulting the Date-Book can such conflicts as that between the Whiting Recital and the Union Lecture for this evening be guarded against. Through the neglect of this opportunity, interference with other engagements is only too likely to ensue, with the result that both suffer in point of attendance. The committee asks, therefore, that no dates be set without consultation of the calender.

The Date-Book, which will be permanently located in Thayer Common Room as soon as a place can be provided for it, is at present kept at the desk in the Union Office, and is open for inspection. Dates may be inserted by complying with the directions which will be found with the calender. Anyone wishing to arrange series of dates should consult or write.  W. L. USTICK '13,  Date-Book Secretary
