'fOne of the most outstanding activities that high school students can be involv- ed in is Model United Nations fMUNJ. It's filled with meaningful learning ex- periences that provides constructive enrichment for students livesfl said MUN advisor Ken Lousen. Lousen added, It's also lots of fun. MUN is a model of the real United Nations in New York City. Every year over 300 students get together at MUN to represent all the different countries in the world. Each school has a certain number of countries to represent. The countries are given to each school and the members get to pick which country they want. The task of each delegation is to represent their country as formally and realistic as possible. The commitees that the delegations form are the same as in the real UN. Their real purpose is to try and solve the problems that face riiiithiiiiiiiiirillwiiiwliiiwiwiilNtwviiiiwrrriiiisttiiiiniii rtri , 'r,J,v -r.i,-ii.,a,r.ri.i .wi-'wisira ' ,.g,f 1 Don't just Talk Say something Y .Vi the people of the world today by discuss- ing and debating.

the Study of CRUNCH, IVIUNCH, SLURP - Dan l-lochalter has a bite to eat while at- tending a, German Club meeting. Culturing Culture Normally students do not know what the culture is like in other countries because of living in the isolated town of Missoula. This year they got first hand knowledge as a result of the exposure of six foreign ex- change students from Sweden, Finland, France, and the Faroe Islands. Two of the clubs at Big Sky are directly related to foreign cultures. The only two clubs that have to do with foreign cultures are the German Club and the International Club. It's a fun and low cost Way to travel, said one International Club Advisor, Peggy Patrick. What she means is that it is fun to see what other parts of the world are like and at no cost. Patrick and Carolyn Brock, the other club leader, put together a slide show and cook- ed foreign food to show the members of the club what the different countries are like. Some people do not understand what In- ternational Club is. International Club con- sists of anyone interested in foreign cultures. It promotes and understanding of other languages and cultures throughout the world, according to Patrick. .ig- GERMAN DELIGHT - Amber Underhill and Linda Lange East on cake at a erman club party.
