Be it resolved . . . Model U.N. ends
By Kevin Field
Alter passing a final resolution calling for the assassin
ation of the Irish delegation by the Italian Mafia, the 12th
annual Nebraska Model United Nations ended Saturday
afternoon. The Irish delegation had reportedly insulted
the Swedish delegation the day before.
Jim Davidson, Secretary General for this year's NMUN
said he felt the conference was successful and that hope
fully the delegates not only learned a lot, but that friend
ships were made and some fun was had.
Resolutions passed during the four day conference
dealt with women's rights, nuclear amis, and disarma
ment. Violation of human rights and international terror
ism were also among the major issues discussed according
to Melissa Marsh, acting head secretary.
During an awards ceremony, Bill Skoneki was named
outstanding delegate of the conference. He was presented
with a SI00 check from Lowen Kruse, President of the
United Nations Association of Nebraska, Skoneki repre
sented the People's Republic of China.
Outstanding Security Council Delegate was Joe
Nigro, also of the Chinese delegation. Outstanding High
School Delegate was Tom Lyon, a representative of
Fiance. Lyon is a student at Lincoln Last.
Scott McMeen and Carl Hill, representing the United
States and Mauritius respectively, were also recognized for
their efforts during the conference.
The Peoples Republic of China, the United Kingdom,
the United States, and the Soviet Union were chosen as
outstanding collegiate delegations. The Soviet delegation
was comprised of students from Creighton University.
Outstanding high school delegations were the Israelis
from Millard, the French from Lincoln Fast and the
Netherlands.

Blood donors paired
Blood donation on behalf of a senior citizen is the
focus of the blood buddy program, co-sponsored by the
Lincoln Area Agency on Aging and the Community Blood
Bank.
The two-year-old program matches the older
generation who may need blood donated in their names in
order to receive the benefits of a membership in the Com
munity Blood Bank, with the contributions of younger
donors.
Many persons over 65 are unable to give blood for
themselves because of medication or health problems,
according to Dena Zimmer. Assistant Administrator of the
Area Agency. Consequently, they must pay for blood
used in a transfusion, as Medicare only partially covers the
cost of the blood.
Through the blood buddy program, an annual blood
donation by a younger person guarantees an older person
membership in the Blood Bank, providing them medical
and financial protection.
Currently, donations have been received for 260
elderly households.

issues from another point of view is the basic purpose of
the NMUN, according to Bruce Kendall, a member of the
Chinese delegation and a three-year participant in NMUN.
He added that it is a great place for gaining self-confidence
and learning to work with people, in addition to being a
good break from classes.

plague meaning certain death. As a people, we should be
about the business of addressing this technological geno
cide of black peoples' dignity.
As a people, as a nation, we must put a stop to this
problem facing all my Third Word brothers and sisters in
white America. I have yet to see a Chicano on television
that wasn't in a street gang, carrying a knife or something
similar. Further, I have seen Chinese people depicted as
railroad workers, domestic servants, and laundry attend
ants, but rarely are they characterized as doctors, lawyers,
or even school teachers. And the Native American people
who discovered this country are almost always shown as
savages in the wild west or flunkies.
This seduction of minds is wrong and must stop now.
We need positive self-images for black people to hold on
to and motivate them on their way in the future. We need
strong assertive males in every family situation. We need
beautiful black women as our leading ladies. We need
black people characterized as complete families on each
and every program. But more than anything, we need in
tellectual stimulation, something a little more than
"where will I get my next meal?" or even, "how many
women can I take out this week?" We need something
that we can be proud of, but most of all, we need it to be
real !
