AMU N delegates, learn through simulation The fifteenth session of the Arizona Model United Nations was held at the University of Arizona on Friday February 11 through Saturday February 12. During this two day period, participants learned more about the operations of the United Nations than they would during a year's study of them in a classroom situation. At least this was the general concensus of this year's delegates from Marana. Marana represented two countries this year. These two countries were the People's Republic of China and the Seychelles Islands. Marana delegates for China received honorable mention for best delegation. The Marana delegates spent approximately four months in preparation for this year's session. For most of the delegates, it paid off. One example is the delegates representing the Seychelles Islands were recognized as a member of the United Nations through submission of resolutions. Also, China won a case in the International Court of Justice, which was an ad- visory opinion on territorial ownership of Chenpao Island according to the Chinese, or Damansky accord- ing to the Soviets. Marana had fourteen delegates in all. Eight of these people were Chinese delegates and six were Seychel- lean delegates. Marana hopes to enlarge their mem- bership and participation in the sixteenth session of the Arizona Model United Nations. 16 Model UN
