Model UN to discuss world issues
By Tam Mehuron
"The 1974 UNL Model United Nations (MUN) will now
come to order with roll call: Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria..."
With these words, the seventh annual UNL-MUN will
begin a three-day international conference in which MUN
delegates will attempt to resolve problems facing the United
Nations.
More than 100 delegations will participate in the
conference scheduled for Feb. 7-9, with possible television
coverage, according to Terry Mahlman, secretary general of the
1974 MUN.
Mahlman said that the UNL-MUN probably has the largest
number of delegations of any Model UN in the U. S. Increased
participation is expected from outstate Nebraska high schools
ind from Big 8 colleges at this year's conference, Mahlman
iaid.
Inquiries from Vanclerbilt University in Nashville, Duke
jnd Drake Universities in Iowa, and Friends University in
Wichita conrcni'iif) tho UNL-MUN have been received by the
planning commitK't:.
Three spc.iki'-r, ill attend the conference, including UN
delegates lioin Franco and Kenya, and a British specialist on
Chinese affairs.
Issues to Ik; discussed in MUN include the Mideast crisis,
world refugees, arms limitation, the status of women and the
world environment.
Two new committees, Economic and Social (ECOSOC),
and Human Rights will be formed at the conference, Mahlman
said.
Delegations of four or more persons will participate in four
committees: Political and Security, Human Rights, the Special
Political and the Social, Humanitarian and Cultural. These
committees will draft resolutions to submit to the General
Assembly on the opening day, and will convene on the second
and third clays to vote on the assembly resolutions.
The Security Council and ECOSOC will convene on all
three days and are limited to 15 and 27 members, respectively.
Topics to be presented before the Security Council include the
Mideast Crisis, terrorism and arms limitation.
The delegation fee is S10, exclusive of food and lodging
costs. Assignment of countries to the delegations begins Nov.
1.
Mahlman said that the list of assigned countries will be
published in mid-November. Revised and simplified handbooks
will be sent to the delegations Dec. 1, with topic background
material available the first part of January.
Although the UNL-MUN is student-organized, non-students
are invited to participate in the conference. Mahlman also said
he hopes more UNL foreign students become involved.
To help inform the students about UNL-MUN, Nebraska
Free University will hold two workshops, Oct. 11 and 18,
dealing with the function and organization of the UN and its
philosophy, objectives and structure.
A resource center containing information about member
UN countries will be set up in the Union Program Office.
The UNL-MUN planning committee has received help from
the political science and history departments, and is now
trying to broaden participation to all colleges and
departments.
"The UNL-MUN gives students a chance for three days to
be in an atmosphere other than the normal college
environment.. .where one learns to respect and work with other
