April 24,1992 page seven Meredith students participate in Third Annual Model United Nations by Dawn Simpson The first weekend in April was a busy one for Meredith students. Nearly everyone on campus knew about the Duke game, the formal/semifor- mal, andSfxingFling. Butagroupof 12 Meredith students, along with adviser Dr. C. Frazier, were busy doing something altogether different. Here in Raleigh, St. Augustine’s College hosted the Third Annual Model United Nations, spon sored by the NC Consortium for International and Intercultural Education (NCCIIE). In all, there were 14 colleges and universities (firom NC, Georgia, and Canada) representing over 40 countries. The Meredith delegations represented 4 coun tries: Bolivia, Cuba, Ecuador, and Peru. Each delegation was expected to be prepared to re main in the character of its nation to ensure a successful simulation. Through a one hour class, we were busy throoughout the semester research ing the current situation in our countries. (Un fortunately the delegation from Cuba had to work extra hard during the simulation because it had originally been assigned another country.) After a semester of hard work, the time finally :ame for us to put our information to work. Ihrough committee sessions and meetings with jther delegations, we met some people, we had >ome fun, and we learned many things. Besides earning some basic rules of parliamentary pro- «dure, we learned about some of the UN’s unctions and how countries seeking their own elf-interest work, or fail to work, together. We Iso learned personal lessons that would be valu- ble to anyone regardless of her major. Some of s learned to be more patient and outgoing. Most tnportantly, we learned to work with people no latter what their color, personality, or opinions - a valuable skill that opens the world to new iportunities. It has not yet been decided whether this class 11 be offered again next spring, but those of us it participated this year are ready to do it again, e would also encourage anyone that wants to tter understand the UN and/or other people to /e it a try.
