Model U.N. This year at the Georgia State Model U.N. Frederick Douglass par- ticipants represented the country of India. They participated in a mo- del assembly forum focused on real life problems such as the Russian invason of Afghanistan. The partici- pants enjoyed it for many reasons; they had an opportunity to meet students from other schools and felt sincerely involved with its ac- tivities relevant to international re- lations. Students who expressed an inter- est in world affairs were asked to participate. Participants took extra steps in studying newspapers, mag- azines, and other periodicals, and paying close attention to network news. The Douglass students did exceptionally well. Jana Bray won a certificate for Most Outstanding Delegate, a first for Douglass. The Model U.S. was a broadin g success I learned how the real U.N. operates; I also learned of many world issues that I did not know of before.
