POLITICS AND POP BOTTLE At Awalt, the Model United Nations is a club under the supervision of Mr. Jerry Bacon. Each year the members go to the Model United Na- tions Convention of acquaint themselves with parliamentary procedure and current world sit- uations from the point of view of the other coun- tries. At the University of California at Berkeley, ws hold meetings under the supervision of Univer- sity of California students and advisors from each high school. Member delegates from each high school are assigned to specific United Nations committees to deal with resolutions proposed by the delegates prior to the Convention. In the months before the convention, the Awalt Model United Nations Club prepared for the mass meeting by studing world problems through the view point of Norway. Though not an official part of the Ecology Club, the Recycling Center has done much to further the cause of ecological awareness. The Center was begun by Awalt students at 3311 Grant road on property donated by Mr. John Viscovich. George Kisler, Brent Lahner, and Barb Edwards serve as Manager, Assistant Manager, and Secret- ary respectively. The Center is open from 10-3 every Saturday and Sunday. Aluminum, bi-metal, and tin cans are crushed and sold to industry. Glass of all colors is sorted and crushed and also sold to industry. All proceeds are reinvested in the Center for im- proved facilities. The Recycling Center is a good example of what students can do on their own to help fight a na- tional problem.
