...convincing case for 2 a.m. parties has apparently not been lost on the administrators, students and House Masters on the CHL, which recently gave tacit approval to a trial run for extended hours. If Dean of the College Benedict H. Gross ’71 confirms the trial run, students must respond by stepping up our efforts to adhere to the College’s party regulations and suggested strategies for being good hosts. This information, recently put together by a subcommittee of council representatives and Allston Burr senior tutors, is conveniently located in the revamped and standardized party request...

It's a date that won't conflict with the season's high school academic competitions, sports events and student theater productions...
...Washington and Tehran. One key issue is the fate of a number of key al-Qaeda personnel currently in the hands of the Iranian authorities; another is Iraq, where the ability of the occupation forces to manage the increasingly restive Shiite population may depend in substantial part in securing tacit Iranian consent for the U.S.-authored transition process. Progress on the nuclear issue will certainly help the two sides reach understandings on the other questions...
