.XO JO' irperson for the first general as- bly. his year's Model U.N. had a e turnout of over 500 students. act, it was a better turnout than he previous year. Every school t preregistered was represented he college. Representatives e from all parts of N.Y. State even from as far away as Con- icut. e Model United Nations lasted nm November ll to November 1.3. ring this time bills were presented, intries tried to convince other intries to agree, and people fued- for leadership. Students learned ernments. An advisor from Midlakes High School, Mr. Leonard DeF ran- cesco, said The Model U.N. helps students to be aware outside of their community, helps them think and make decisions. It also lets them learn control in strange situa- tions. Students must sit next to new kids, they're not allowed to sit with their friends. When asked what he thought of the awards, Mr. De Fran- cesco replied They promote respect for dedication. In 20 years this is the experience the kids will remem- ber. He added that exchanging ideas and compromising on issues was important background for the students. However, it was not all work and no play. After the meetings, the ALLNATIONS Dance Company performed in the auditorium. This group of multi-ethnic dancers was unique, as each member on stage displayed a traditional dance from his own country. This meant that there were several different dances taking place at the same time. It sounded chaotic, but the breath- taking effect was one of the reasons for the success of the company. The dancing was over and Sunday came quickly. Some students had out other students and more about g , ,,,,, ,,,, , . ,.,. H l mselves. Chris Willard from Pitts- d-Sutherland High School said t he liked it very much and that thought the Model U.N. was' good both students and faculty. He o thought that the turnout was id and felt that it was very much : the true United Nations.

After waiting through committee meetings the lunch break, security council meetings, and the final general as- sembly, the awards were finally an- nounced. Midlakes Central School students representing the Peoples Republic of China and South Africa walked away with all three best delegate awards. Other winners were:Brian Nolan, Christian Broth- ers Academy, who won second place for representation of the United States, Alden Budd, Pitts- ford-Mendon, third, Japang Laura Schuhmann, Midlakes, fourth, P.R. of China, and Mark Kende, Pitts- ford-Sutherland, fifth, Israel. Although itnhad been a lot of work, the Political Science Club felt it had been well worth their efforts. It didn't seem possible that their job was almost doneg but soon the auditorium was stripped of the tables and chairs, the flags were re- moved, and eventually there was no trace of the Model United Nations. sm 1 lllltskitrkgli--.-..r.,,f.ix4r.gi, W ,L 1 ' 'A wr. ..'l,1,tjQi ,mmm ww-I iLANDi ----MAL: - R AEL'.,xr..,a: Q f-tx.--funn U f T-aQ.v.1s12'mw1tX GATME - .

It became easier and easier to tell when the first Wednesday of every month rolled around, even if there wasn't a calendar in sight. When the SGO fStudent Government Organiza- tionj moved senate meetings to the lounge, the first Wednesday became more noticeableg but non-club mem- bers still had a tendency to walk right by, without more than a second look at the group in the corner. Then Phi Theta Kappa's idea went into effect. The inspiration came in the form of a Sully sandwich, which, for those unfamiliar with this delicacy, consisted of one C3 student placed be- tween two layers of plywood. This year's Nspeciall' was Jim Sullivan, who put on the original costume be- fore each SGO meeting and paraded through the cafeteria, lounge, and halls, ringing his bell to remind everyone that the meeting was about to begin. When Sully shed his sandwich, and went to join the SGO meeting, he oc- casionally ended up sitting with a member ofthe L.0.0.K. Club. Open to students over 22, the group was de- signed to help older persons readjust to school. For students fresh out of high school, coming to college may not seem like a big deal. For those who have been off campus for a while, how- MAKING THE ROUNDS during the first Wednesday in December, Jim Sullivan catch- es everyone's attention. The sandwich is the brainchild of Phi Theta Kappa, the college's honor society. ST. MARY'S HALL WAS THE SETTING for a wine tasting party held by the Nursing Club.
