March 15 is the Ides of March - I suspect that's why it was chosen as the day the Overmind awoke.

(March 15, 1937 is the day H.P. Lovecraft died. March 15, 1967 is the day Naoko Takeuchi was born - she would go on to create Sailor Moon. Both are probably irrelevant, along with practically everything else listed on Wikipedia's page for the day.)
