Student self-government at CMC experienced a rebirth of spirit and activity from the very beginning of the 1964-1965 term. Such major accomplishments as the planning of a nei v student union and bookstore were inspired by the Student Council, working closely with the CMC Parents Cotntnittee. The Seminars on the American Political Tradition introduced a new academic dimension into student life by bringing out- standing scholars from around the nation to challenge our undergraduate community. In addition, outspoken members of the political community spoke frankly to our Student Body at several dinners and convocations. The list included such notables as A. L. Wirin, Mclvin Belli, Dorothy Healy, John Rousselot, Russell Kirk, and Governor Edmund G. Broivn. The addition of wcmien to the campus brought with it a variety of new social activities. For the first time, 5 -College cooperation in planning the year ' s social calendar brought students from all the Clare- mont Colleges together throughout the year. Vigorous activity at every level of student government — classes, dorms, and Student Council — made this year, 1964-1965 , the most pros- perous in terms of interest and participation. Surely the challenges of student self-government ivere ivell-met by the leaders of our campus comm,unity. Sincerely, Hr ' fmihir- Perry Lerner ASCMC President 1964-1965 134

XV MODEL UNITED NATIONS In 1965 the Cloremont Colleges hosted the fifteenth annual session of the Model United Nations of the Far West. Over one thousand students from 13 Western States participated. One hundred colleges and universi- ties sent students; one hundred countries were represented in committee meetings and in three plenery sessions of the General Assembly in Bridges Auditorium. The conference lasted only four days, but two years of prepara- tion by student members of the Secretariat went into making a most suc- cessful session. Joe Lester, CMC sophomore, was the Executive Assistant of the Secretariat. Next April the Model U.N. will be hosted by Stanford University; the CMC delegation will represent the U.S. Charles Yost, Dep- uty Pormoncnt Representative to the United Notions.
