The current MIT policy, enactedfollowing the alcohol-related deathof cott . Krueger '01 last October,forbids the serving of alcohol atevents where underage persons willbe present.

The PurposeBehind the

Policies

TH TECH Page 5

Recent statement by Iranian presidentMohammad Khatami have ignited a seriousdebate about the nature of U.S. policy toward

Iran. Why ha theUnited States allowedits objections to Iranianforeign policy preventa reconciliationbetween our two coun-tries when other erst-while enemie , such asVietnam, have been letback into our goodgraces?

U.. policy towardIran raise broader is ues about foreign policyin the 1990s. What sort of conduct do weexpect of our allies? What is our pol icytoward terrori ts and nations tl1at may supportterrori m abroad? What is our policy regard-ing nation that may be developing weaponsof mas destruction, or may help other nationdo o? Finally, can other sovereign nationspursue independent foreign policies withoutincurring our displeasure?

These questions relate to the standards bywhich the United State currently justifie itspolicy of dual containment of Iraq and Iran.That means that whatever Iranian leaders aresaying, Iran only differs from Iraq in U..eyes in that Iran doe n't have U. . inspectorsroving around its country. The United Statesmaintains a complete embargo on Iraniangoods, and American firms are not allowed todo business there.

If Iran and the United States were the onlytwo countries in the world, our policy mightbe acceptable. As it is, the inconsistencies inour policy have left allies and non-alliesequally baffled. The purpose of foreign policystatements should not be to daze and confuse,but to explicate and make clear. By that stan-dard alone, our policy today is a failure.

peaking of standards, those being appltedto Iran demand clo e scrutiny. Take thecharge that Iran is working on weapons ofmass destruction, for example. In Iraq andLibya, the United States has used air strikes,trade embargoes, and other political and eco-nomic pressures to make producers of suchweapons into international pariahs. In the caseof Israel, India, Pakistan, Brazil, andArgentina, the United States has done nothing.And in the case of Korea, the United Statesnegotiated an end to development by agreeingto a positive trade of peaceful reactor forinspections. Why do some countries qualifyfor good treatment while others do not?

The standard for upport of terrorist acts iseven more dubious. Terrori t action is by itsvery nature an individual choice. Weapons andbomb-making equipment are as readily avail-able in the Middle East as they are in theUnited States. Charges that Iran has specificallysupported terrorism often boils down to a list ofsupposed "links" to terrorists, whether tenyear ago with the HezboJlah, or two years agowith the Kobi Towers bombers. Meanwhile,Syria has found itself in good graces with theUnited States for nearly a decade now, in spiteof its reputed terrorist training centers.

The terrorism-support standard being usedagainst Iran is particularly odious because iteffectively puts terrorists in control of U.S. for-eign policy: A single terrorist with an interest inkeeping Iran isolated from the West can preventa U.S.-Iran rapprochement with a single act ofviolence. Thus, when the State Departmentclaims that we will judge nations by theiractions, it might have been more accurate to saythat the United States will judge other nationsby the actions of third-party criminals.

Finally, the claim that Iran's position onMiddle East peace talks - that Iran is opposed- prevents normalized relations is an insultto all nations in the Middle East. Are wepromising to cut off relations with all countriesthat take different policy positions than we do?Certainly not, yet that is the stated standard inthe case of Iran. It is exactly the sort of irra-tional position that worsens U.S. relations withall countries and peoples in the region.

Like perhaps no other country, Iran demon-strates that the United States has no broadvision for how countries should behave in thepost-Cold War world. By holding Iran to polit-ically bankrupt tandards of conduct, we havenot only hurt relations with Iran, but with allcountries who look to America for leadershipabroad. The longer America holds onto its out-dated policies, the more aggravated our posi-tion in the Middle East will become.

o

tion. The current policy of containment onlyfuel the de ire for Iran to build biological,chemical, or nuclear weapons. The need andde ire for uch weapon would be Ie ened ifIran were an accepted member of the interna-tional community with trong ties to theworld's uperpower. Conver ely, an Americanrejection of Khatami's overtures would showIran a foreign policy that is stubborn andinflexible, an impres ion that would only fuela de ire by some Iranians to acquire weaponsof ma destruction.

Engaging President Khatami i also the besttrategy to often Iran' oppo ition to Middle

Ea t peace talk. In hi interview Pre identKhatami admitted he wa per onally oppo ed totalk . The present gov roment of Israel, howev-er, has done little to build confidence and trustamong the Mu lim world. U.. dialogue withIran and continued forceful U.. pre ure on thegovernment of I rael could convince Iran to

drop its oppo ition and join the peaceproces .

Iran i too large of a nation toi olate and ignore, as does

present U.. foreign poli-cy. A nation of 66 millionand po essing rich oil andnatural ga re erves, Iranhas the potential to be apolitical and economicforce in the Middle Ea t. Itis therefore imperative thatIran be included in a tablepolitical settlement in the

Middle East. It i toolarge and important of

a nation to be margin-alized.

ApproachingIran will certainly

involve risk andthe potentialfor failure. It

will be a trickyforeign policy

maneuver for anadministration not

widely known for it risk-taking abilitie . But over the

pa t year all of the risks for peace have beentaken by President Khatami. He has been theone to oppose powerful forces in a countryopposed to peace. He has been the one whohas extended the hand of friendship to theUnited States. It is time for the United Statesto accept his offer and respond. The only thingthe people of America and Iran have to lose ismutual mistrust.

often carry a courseload during lAP, fortheir lack of commitment to continuing theevent?

Charm School itself wasn't a cure-all forthe ills of the Institute. There are many otherproblems that take priority to Charm School:the dearth of counseling deans, the ongoingdebate over affirmative action, and the scram-bling to achieve reasonable alcohol policies.However, Charm School in its small wayplayed an important role, attracting freshmenback during lAP and entertaining studentswhile teaching them a few interpersonal skillsin the process.

But maybe another problem is the desire tofind a cure-all, and more unfortunately thewillingness to discard everything that doesn'tfit the bill. No one thing solves everything;but that doesn't mean we have to get rid ofeverything that doesn't.

What's worse is that this year's failure tohold Charm School sends a very disturbingmessage from the administration to studentsthat endeavoring to improve students' overallquality of life is simply not worth the effort.Learning should head all student priorities,but learning also happens outside the class-room.

Meanwhile, however, students need toshow .that this message has not been taken toheart. The Undergraduate Association shouldappoint a committee specifically designed toorganize Charm School. The AlumniAssociation needs also to get involved toshow students that there is more to an MlTeducation than a piece of paper.

One reason for the failure of student-inspired and student-organized events (otherthan rush) that seek to incorporate the entirecommunity is the lack of admini trative cloutand backing. The failure of these eventsleads to the false impression that no one real-ly cares. Or maybe it is true no one doescare.

OP

Pre ident Khatami topped hort of callingfor a direct, immediate dialogue between theUnited tate and Iran. But to call for uchtalk in an interview would ha e enraged thepowerful con er ative element in Iran.

The tate Department ha three concernwhich it believe mu t be addre sed in go ern-ment-to-government talk: Iran's connectionto and upport for terrori t group; Iran' de irefor eapon of ma de truction; and Iran'oppo ition to Israeli-Pale tinian peace talk .

All three of these i ue are legitimate con-cern. which need to be rai ed in high-leveldiscussions. But th~ be t way to addre allthe e concern i to invite Pre ident Khatamiinto a high-level dialogue betweenWa hington and Tehran.

Terrorists thrive on the hatred between theUnited tates and Iran. They feel the

need to avenge U.. behavior towardIran through violence. If America

adopts a more positivepolicy toward

Iran,t hisI a r g eimpetus forterrorist actswould be shattered. Cooperationbetween the United States and Iran wouldallow Americans and Iranians to be moretrusting of each other. It would also encouragethe government of Iran to crack down on sus-pected terrorists and share information itlearns about impending terrorist acts with theUnited States.

A detente betw~en the United States andIran would also help to deter Iran from anydesires to acquire weapons of mass destruc-

The widespread media coverage didn'thurt either. Yes, CNN would broadcast inter-views in which students from .Harvard tookpotshots at MIT students, but who cares aboutwhat Harvard students think anyway?

Furthermore, Charm School was becomingsomething of a tradition, like the Engineer'sdrinking song, or the words "let the rushbegin!", which are uttered at Residence andOrientation Week, another soon-to-be lost tra-dition.

It was something in which a variety ofpeople participated, as opposed to just oneisolated group. Bringing all members of theInstitute together has always been a valuehere, although rarely achieved. This wasgreatly evidenced by the Infinite Buffet, or assome affectionately termed the "InfiniteDisaster." If it was ever apparent that weneeded Charm School it wa that weekendbefore Thanksgiving - the etiquette dis-played there was a whole lot worse thanputting your elbows on the table.

So why did the Charm School tradition,which has played such an important role atMIT, disappear?

Well, there are many reasons. The pastorganizers of Charm School would say thatthe disappearance occurred because no stu-dent was willing to step forward to organizeit. But I think the reason lies far deeper thanthat. This year's omission of Charm School ismerely a symptom of the greater lack of com-mitment by the Institute to ensure the socialwell-being of its students.

Even failed efforts to resurrect CharmSchool this year spoke to this lack of com-mitment. Ads were placed in The Tech for astudent to rise from among the ranks andorganize a team to plan the event. If no onein the administration was willing to planCharm School because of the enormous timecommitment, how can those same adminis-trators turn around and blame students, who

ging th U. . olicy Tunehould Re pond Positively to Khatami ~ Overtures-----------------

Zareena Hussain

During the last lecture of 6.034 (ArtificialIntelligence), Professor Patrick H. Winstonadvised his students of what classes theyshould take after having completed his course.

Charm School was first on his list.But what Professor Winston probably

didn't realize when he gave his lecture wasthat no student or administrator had steppedforward this year to help organize .the crashcourse in charm and grace.

When students come to MIT, some losetheir social savoir-faire; some never had it inthe first place. One thing is clear, however:They a need a place to brush up on their so~ialskills and learn how not to become totallosers.

Maybe that is why so many students, andevidently faculty, took it for granted thatCharm School would be offered this year.When I went up to people asking them howthey would feel about Charm School'sabsence, many thought I was mistaken.

How could there be no Charm Schoolbasement? Where else would one learn thatonly about a third of people wash their handsafter going to bathroom when no one is look-ing, and that only about two thirds do sowhen someone else is around? And wherewould one learn that it's.not polite to writeentire e-mails in capital letters - even foremphasis. It seems that the rules on how notto be a loser will be lost on the next genera-tion of students.

Charm School served another purpose as .well. It was an event in which members fromall areas of the MIT community participated.It gave a curious sense of pride to many whowere part of something unique. The stereotypethat MIT students lack interpersonal skillscould be worn as badge of honor by partici-pants.

Abandoning Etiquette for ApathyAbsence if Charm School Reveals Administration ~ Indifference

There are few nation that rai e the ire andanger of the United tate a do Iran.Memorie of the Iranian Revolution of 1979and the taking of U. . citizen a ho tagebum within the mind of policy-maker. Twodecade of anti-American propaganda pew-ing out of Tehran has only olidified the tateDepartment' view that Iran i to be i olatedand marginalized.

The Iranian government similarly ha seenmany reasons tef'distrust the United tates.American upport of the Shah still enragemany Iranians. And tileldowning of an Iranianjetliner over the Persian Gulf wa an unju tifi-ably aggressive act on the part of the United

tates.Within the past year, how-

. ever, there havet been signsof a thaw in the,cold, mutu-al1y disdainful relation hipbetween Iran and the UnitedStates. The election ofMohammad Khatami, amoderate, as president ofIran last year has raisedmany hope that Tehran andWa hington would soonnormalize relations.President Khatam i' s inter-view with C N this monthhas largely confirmed thosehopes.

President Khatami has demon-strated a willingness to risk thescorn of conservative elements in hiscountry and bridge th'e.cavernous gulf ofmisunderstanding and contempt betweenInin and the United States. It is time for theUnited States to respond positively to hisovertures. The Clinton administration shouldseek a normalization of political ties betweenTehran and Washington. -

From the head of the government of anation associated strongly with anti-Americanpropaganda, President Khatami's statementswere shocking and pleasing. He praised theUnited States as a great nation and a beacon ofreligious freedom. This is a welcome changefrom conservative olerics who denounce theUnited States as a Satanic nation. PresidentKhatami further called for an exchange ofscholars, artists, and journalists between thetwo nations. .

The official Washington response was towelcome these comments but to insist on gov-ernment-to-government dialogue.

Oscar Helps Bring Out The

To say the truth, Good Will Hunting isvery entertaining; but then again, any moviepartially set at MIT has to be (there areglimpses of Killian Court, KresgeAuditorium, and The Tech). All the perfor-mances are quite nice (especially MinnieDriver as Will's would-be-girlfriend), and,best part, the dialogue zings (frequent profani-ty overuse excepted). Robin Williams didn'tdeserve to receive- top credit, since he playsonly one of four supporting characters; buthe's sti II very good.

But while "qood Will Hunting" is neverboring to watch, I frequently wished thatWill's problems were illustrated throughless than four very similar relationships(best friend, woman, MIT mathematics pro-fessor, and a shrink). In the end, the moviefeels like it ran out of screen time, and theactual character development flies out of thewindow. Will and Sean talk, bond, solveeach other's problems, and then cry and hugeach other. After said crying and huggingthe movie ends, postulating that Will's lifewill be perfectly fine now. Such feel-goodpretentiousness is definitely not my mug ofegg-nog.

SCREAM 2Plot in a nutshell: After events of the firstmovie, Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell)entered cO'Hege, and started to put her lifeback together. However, leave it up toHollywood to spoil the fun - her life is nowa basis of a new slasher movie "Stab." There'salso a book about her, an ambitious reporter,some old and some new friends in Sidney'slife - and, it seems, a new deranged homici-dal psycho.

This one is not too bad of a followup, butnot quite as good as the first one (especiallyfor the movie which has the line "Sequelssuck, man"). Yes, I know I should judgemovies on their own rights, but since this onewould make completely no sense if youha~en 't seen Scream (consider this a warn-ing), I believe this is the valid approach in thiscase.

Scream 2 is full of the same trademarkmixture of horror and satire, which works;suspense works almost as well; there's even arare moment of penetrating subtext (Sidneyplays the part of Cassandra in a school play -see, now you wish you paid attention to thatlecture on Iliad), and the final monologue ofthe killer is quite astute (well, for the maniacthis guy/gal is).

Unfortunately Scream 2 suffers from themost common sequel malady - it frequent-ly feels like "more of the same." The ele-ment of a game (between the masked psychokiller and his main victim) is gone, and thecomic elements are spread a bit too thin.Tory Spelling is hilarious, though, as a mer-ciless parody of herself. (I assume theyachieved this effect by not telling her thather part was supposed to be a parody.) Tosum it up, both movies are not quite theexciting-yet-brainy cinema experiencethey're being hyped for; but they shouldwork well as a late night rental if you have abunch of sarcastic friends who enjoy talkingback to the screen.

e t

Carver (Jonathan Pryce) wants to rule theworld (don't they always go for that?), andplans to tart the World War III to achieve hisends. It's up to Bond, James Bond (PierceBrosnan) and his Chinese counterpart Wei Lin(Michelle Yeoh) to stop the dastardly plans ofthe villain. Lots of running around andscreaming ensues.

As Jackie Chan was eclipsed in Supercop,so is Pierce Brosnan in Tomorrow Never Dies,the 18th installment of the Bond franchise.And eclipsed not by all the gunfire (way toomuch of it), explosions (about the rightamount) and daredevil stunts (a bit too few)- but by former Miss Malaysia, MichelleYeoh.

While Brosnan looks and acts the partquite well (damaging much less of his dia-logue than in Goldeneye - although maybebecause he has less dialogue here), it's Ms.Yeoh who owns the movie, at least the secondhalf of it. Not really pretty in a usual way, shepossesses tons of charisma, and her moves -slinking around the bad guy's hideout, wreck-scuba-diving, spin-kicking two a sailants at atime, firing an uzi - are a wonder to behold.With an exception of couple of leaps and lotsof running away from gunfire, Mr. Bond him-self doesn't have much to do. Again, nothingto blame Brosnan about; but the screenplayshortcharges him a bit.

On the other hand, the villain is a lot offun, and also has a legitimate reason for hisvillainous activities (Jonathan Pryce chewsthe scenery and spits it out in large chunks),and there are quite a few good one-liners,which I'm afraid I've forgotten by now, alongwith the rest of the movie. Technical creditsare average - special effects are seamless,but the editing is a bit choppy; the musicalscore takes itself way too seriously, and thesound effects, while very good by themselves,are on the loud side. And why, oh why dothey think it's interesting to watch peopleshoot at each other for long, long, longstretches of time? Well, it is interesting towatch while Ms. Yeoh does that, but I thinkyou got my point already.

GOOD WILL HUNTINGPlot in a nutshell: Will Hunting (cue groansfor a too-cute pun) is a genius of the order ofEinstein; he reads the books like Star Trek'sData, by flipping through them; he has a pho-tographic memory; without any formal educa-tion, he excels in solving extra-complicatedproblems of group theory; he shames Fields-prize-winning scientists; and at night he donsthe cape and fights crime and injustice. Well,ok, I made the last one up. But, you see, Willis psychologically wounded, has an attach-ment problem, and, all in all, is pretty muchself-destructive. Arrested for assault, he plea-bargains under the condition that he under-goes therapy; enter Robin Williams as kindlyshrink Sean McGuire.

This setup doesn't look like it could makea realistic movie, does it? One of the problemsof Good Will Hunting is that it pretends to berealistic, and the clash of a fairy-tale premiseand grounded-in-real-world execution makesthis movie much less enjoyable than it couldhave been.

At least there's Du tin Hoffman on hand,whose character seems limited at first, but thismakes his bur ting out of the cocoon in theend even more impressive; this, finally, cre-ate an emotional connection which is sorelylacking in the mo t of the movie.

Having aid all that, Wag the Dog is stillrecommendable. The tale of spin-doctoringgone to absurd heights, lengths, and depthsis wildly unpredictable. The dialogue is bit-ingly sharp (no wonder; David Mamet co-wrote the screenplay), and the observationthat this country is governed by ideologyfeels grimly apt. All in all, this is an excel-lent movie about the political and socioJogi-cal concepts. I only wish it was more aboutpeople as well.

OVIE REVIEWS

By Vladimir v. ZelevinskyST4FF REPORTER

ere i to the ew Year - the time forgood holiday joy and cheer, forrejoicing and pending time withfriends, for making (and breaking)

important re olutions, and for pending hoursat your local multiplex. Thi is the seasonwhich makes one yearn for the relativelyrelaxed ummer relea e schedule (one block-buster-hopeful per weekend), with the studiossending dozens of movies onto the creens tofight for your hard-earned dollars. U ually,December i the period when the be t movieof the year are released, with an eye not onlyfor the box-office receipts, but also for theupcoming Academy Awards.

The end of this year bring two excellentmovies, both of them, due to some extraordi-nary coincidence, set mostly on a board of ornamed after a hip (Amistad and Titanic). Therest of the crop is, unfortunately, ho-hum.Even the best of it get only a re erved recom-mendation from yours truly. Here's a scoopon the four high-profile relea es; each of themearning a cautious "thumbs up" recommenda-tion, but lacking .omething important to makeit more than merely means to pleasantly spendtwo hours in the theater.

o here we go, roughly in the order ofpreference.

WAG THE DOGPlot in a nutshell: Ten days before the re-elec-tion, the President is implicated in molestingan underage girl. To save the ituation, a teamof professional spin-doctors (Robert de iroand Anne Heche) creates an even biggerstory: America goes to war with ... Albania!The faux-documentary footage is shot by afamed Hollywood producer (DustinHoffman), the jingoistic songs are written, theemotion are cranked up - and the nationresponds to the ruse in this searingly sarcasticblack comedy.

Wag the Dog is a highly economical film,shot on a shoestring budget in four weeks, butthis doe n't spoil any enjoyment. Some sec-ondary stuff is mediocre, like an especiallyboring score (two parodies of patriotic songsnotably excepted) and messy editing, butthese don't distract much as well. What I

However, Rooney attacked himon thi point. "If you, a the ecu-tive committee, were in charge, iteem you really do have the

authority," he said.Timpe admitted that, after the

incident with Figueredo, the execu-tive commitree had made certainthat there was ab olutely no morealcohol in the building.

When Timpe said that the frater-nity leaders had trusted the mem-ber prior to the incident, Rooneycriticized their actions again. "Trustwas apparently misplaced," shesaid:

Fraternity reacted to incidentThe chapter has been placed on

probation by its national organiza-tion, said Assistant Dean Neal H.Dorow, who serves as the adviser tofraternities, sororities and indepen-dent living group ,

Timpe also confinned LaPrade'searlier statements. "Most peopledidn't have any contact with JasonKreisberg and the three girls, sincethey went straight up to his roomand closed the door."

Commissioner Daniel F. Pokaskiqueried Timpe and Drick extensive-ly about the fraternity's regulations."You didn't have any rules," lie toldTimpe.

However, Mulligan expressed adifferent sentiment. "It appears tome that the fraternity acted reason-ably in this case."

Robert A. Hollswasser, presidentof the Theta Chi alumni corporation,said that the alumni, who own the.house, took the issue very seriously.

"We couldn't believe it hap-pened," he said. "It's a threatagainst the existence of the house"

Hollswasser emphasized that thealumni have taken action in the pastagainst students who abuse alcohol.Three students were removed fromthe fraternity two years ago after a'nincident, he said.

Please?"

"A lot of the people decided toget rid of their per onal supplie ofalcohol," Timpe said.

Timpe also emphasized thatKreisberg had not obtained the alco-hol from the fraternity.

Timpe repeatedly characterizedthe house as being "e senti ally a dryfraternity" during thi period.

However, he said that the frater-nity leaders didn't want to comedown too harshly on the brothers,

Orick then empha ized that thefraternity had in no way condonedKreisberg' action. "There is noconnection [to Theta Chi] exceptthat he lived in the fraternityhouse," he said.
