(Photo by Jim Story) Madison High Wins Super-Simulation By JOHN 8CHAENMAN Madison High won first place in the third annual super-simulation competition for high school students in Western North Carolina, held Saturday at the University of North Carolina at Asheville. Super-simulation is a contest between six teams in which each team represents one country in a simulated world. In Saturday's com petition, the world was set in the year 2040. Madison represented one of the three super powers that, while strong militarily, were hard pressed by critical shortages of fuel and basic resources. Three other countries were hoarding their resources to trade for goods and modern weaponry. During a four-year span, the world experienced a famine, an earthquake (oc curring in Madison's country, Bingo), violent revolutions, and a nuclear disaster. By the final round, Bingo had started a nuclear war against the nations which refused to give them basic resources. Had the simulation continued, Bingo would probably have taken over the world because while they were bargaining for nuclear arms limitations they were busy stockpiling them ! The second place winners were the students from Roberson High. Kim Smith of Roberson was Judged the best female diplomat and John Schaenman the beat male diplomat. By winning, Madison will win a one-year full tuition scholarship at UNC-A for one student for study in any field. Members of the team were Keith Flynn, John Schaen man, Steve Davis, Conrad Plout, Charles Duckett, Gail Anderson, Mike Chapman, Jon Frost, Greg Dillingham, James Brigman, Daniel Plout, Charlene Carter, Penny Frisbee, Teddy Allison, Roger Meadows, Fran Randall, Kris Robinson, Chris Stroud, Tommy Gentry and Susan Deblacker. The team was aided by numerous people, and they would like to give them a special thanks. David Wyatt and the faculty were un derstanding and helpful during the countless times team members needed to miss class. Ricky McDevitt advised them and gave them pointers. Mike Gibson and Tim Potts, students at UNC A, donated time and money in their effort to teach the team the games' finer points. Without Mike or Tim, the team never could have been so successful and they would like them to come back next year and help out.
