The purpose of this assembly is to allow high school students to acquire a better understanding of the countries of the world situation. Each year pairs of delegates from high schools in Wisconsin, Michigan, Northwestern Ontario, Minnesota, North Dakota, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba come to Winnipeg to represent all the nations belonging to the United Nations. In the Mr. Wilson, Carole Findlay, Scott Stewart, weeks before the assembly is held, the delegates spend their time learning all they can about the country they will represent, for their speeches must put forth the ideas and opinions of the in¬ dividual countries rather than those of the stu¬ dents. This year Miles Macdonell ' s delegates to M. U. N. A. , held April 27 and 28 at Grant Park High School, were Carole Findlay and Scott Stewart. Carole and Scott, counselled by history teacher Mr. R. J. Wilson, represented the tiny country of Nepal, a member of the Asian bloc. The assembly itself was highlighted by vari¬ ous walkouts and protests, the most striking being a group of students who entered the as¬ sembly to represent the Separatist Movement of Quebec. The assembly was brought to an end by a formal banquet at the Royal Alexandra Hotel where all the delegates and counsellors had the honour of being addressed by His Excellency Taha Carim, Turkish Ambassador to Canada.
