pages Campus News Members of the Model United Nations team in New York practicing the joys of diplomacy. Photo by Margaret Van Zanten. Salem hits New York hy Diane Davis The bright ligts of New York burned even brighter and much later as 16 students from Salem hit the city for the National Model United Nations Conference held from April 9th to the 15th. The 1990 Model Unteam was led by seniors Jennifer Morgan and Melissa Kirk and Head Delegate and Permanent Representative. Sophomor Deborah Bruce served as the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Other team members included Amy Brubaker, Jennifer Callahan, Tracy Coltrane, Meredith Harper, Diane Davis, Margaret van Zanten, Marianne Gaudio, Tracey Foster, Debbie Huddleston, and Kara Hayes. The team had the honor of representing the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. With this honor came the responsibility of sitting on a wide variety of committees, including a coveted position on the Security Council. Students spent their five days in New York writing, debating, and passing resolutions on current issues facing the United Nations. The issues gf debate were particularly challenging this year as the international community faced large changes, many of which were still unfolding as the conference began. The Salem delegation faced the challange and was an active force at the convention. This year the National United Nations Conference hit a record high with over 2000 students from all over the world in attendance. Model UN serves to make students more aware of the diplomatic aspects of international relations. It opens the doors of comunication and provides of forum for students to discuss their ideas and philosophies on international issues. The Salem delegation returned from New York on April 15 both tired and enlightended by the experience.

Epicurean Update by Caroline Swope Greetings, once again, from the Food Committee. Now, for those of you who normally don't read this article, or who have friends that don't, it's really important that you at least tell your friends about this. Remember way back (like before fall break) when I promised to try and get brunch every Sunday? Well...(drum roll please)... I received the "official word" and effective on April 15, brunch will be served every Sunday!! (Okay, so I'm tr little excited about this, but the Food Committee has been working on this proposal for months, and its nice to finally see it approved!) So from now on, you don't have to wonder which Sundays you have brunch, and which Sundays you don't. Now, having brunch every Sunday does mean some changes. First of all, and most obviously, sit down will no longer be held on Sundays. Secondly, breakfast will not be served either. Now for those of you that are up early on Sunday mornings, calm down, you won't starve. The Refectory will be open during breakfast hours for students to come in and get a bowl of cereal, or some juice and toast, (as soon as the toaster is fixed. Yes Food Committee is quite aware that the toaster is not working, a part has been ordered to fix it ) Now, the final bit of information I have to pass on deals with the time brunch will be served. Brunch wil be served every Sunday 12:00 pm until 1:30pm. (Which is absolutely wonderful for those of us who hate waiting until one in the afternoon to eat.) Well, that's about it this time, so I'll see everybody at brunch!! Sights & Insights hits the shelf by Lisa Phelps The 1988-89 Sights and Insights will be a new addition to area book shelves. The missing yearbook has been completed and will be returned to Salem before the end of school. (The publishing company has not given an exact date). The following is the closing of the yearbook with comments from the acting editor in chief. In November of 1989,1 was asked by Dean Johnson to attempt to finish the 1988-89 Sights and Insights. As you all probably know by now, this yearbook was never done. It was not lost at the publishers, but rather it was never completed by last year's editor. In November I was handed a box with a lot of pictures in it-just pictures. There were no layouts, no copy, nothing but pictures-and even these pictures were not a complete coverage of the 88-89 year. The class pictures were in sheets, not even cut and with no names. I have attempted to make sure that every student is represented in this book-if I didn't have your picture, I have at least made sure that your name is listed as being a member of the Salem community of 1988-89. To the Class of 1989 I have tried to make this yearbook at least representative of your final year at Salem. Unfortunately I had little to work with-the pictures in this book are all I could find. I sincerely wish that I could have produced a yearbook of the caliber that you, the Salem Seniors of 1989, and the rest of the students deserve; however I simply did not have the materials (pictures, copy, etc.) nor the staff to produce such a book. So, I hope that you will enjoy it such as it is. At least it is finished and in your hands. I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the people who helped me with this year book: my roommate, Stephanie Hines, lot her extreme patience, her support and understanding, and her help with layouts, etc. I could never have finished it without her help- Michelle Brennan, for her invaluable help with layouts, especially the special senior candid section-I know that it was done out of love for her class- Sincere thanks to Debbie Cates for typing out all of the underclassmen names. Thanks to Tammy Taylor and Strat Newitt for their help with the sports section. Thanks to the 1990 Sights and Insights for allowing me to use their materials and the Publications for allowing me to use the Macintoshes. Thanks Dean Johnson and Becky Pack for their support and help. Lastly, I would like to wish the Class of 1989. Good luck out there in the real world. I know it's a year late, but perhaps this yearbook will offer you a few memories of Salem that, in the hustle and bustle of the real world, may have been pushed into a dusty comer. If nothing else I sincerely hope that this book will allow you to take out those memories, dust them off, and smile
