BUNA: New and Improved c de By B. Kasselman and S. Springer Following the examples set in many other areas of the school, Seaholm ' s Model United Nations received its share of revisions this year. The model U.N., or BUNA (Birmingham United Nations As- sociation) was losing its effective- ness in its old format and badly needed updating. With Judy Ma- cey taking on the job of advisor and the new Executive Board made up of seven selected stu- dents, BUNA was changed to suit the needs of the students. BUNA was moved to a weekend format in order to invite other schools to participate and to simulate more accurately the proceedings of the United Nations, Mrs. Macey explained in response to the questions concerning the dramat- ic change in BUNA ' s format. The most noticeable change came in the basic format of BUNA. Instead of meeting on school time for two days, BUNA met Friday night and during the day Saturday and Sunday, the weekend of January 24-26. The group split into three different committees: the social and hu- manitarian, the political and mili- tary, and the economic financial committees. Each country sent one delegate to each of the committees to discuss resolutions 66 Between the com- mittees and the Gener- al Assembly, BUNA was really great fun. It was one of the few times in school all year that I had to act seri- ous, pay attention, do research, and still had a terrific time. Jeff Tenniswood relating directly to their specific topics. BUNA officially started with a speech by Mrs. Nancy Good, an expert on the Middle East. Anoth- er new feature of BUNA, the speaker was intended to relate the model U.N. to the real thing. The addition of students from other schools was also important to the success of BUNA. Overall, BUNA came off better than it has in the past few years. Second-year BUNA participant Anne Hess agreed, BUNA was much more organized this year; I think we were able to get a lot more accomplished. Because of the weekend format, only the people who were really interested and really wanted to be there showed up. The changes were definitely for the better. Seniors Barrett Tripp. Brad Kasselman.
