The main event of the year is the model General As- sembly held in March. The Assembly lasts for a day and a half. Many delegates wear the native costumes of their country. This year the discussion topics included CU payment of dues, C21 Israel-Arab conflict, C31 Vietnam, C41 Repre- sentation of Red China, and C52 Rhodesia.
