Model UN to convene
Woman deals in cultures
The Nebraska Model United
Nations has added for the first time
in 10 years an International Court of
Justice to simulate the court of the
United Nations this year.
Beginning at noon Thursday,
university students, Lincoln high
school students and students from
nine other universities will debate
topics such as nuclear disarmament
and proliferation, outer space and
terrorism. By 5 pjn. Saturday the
delegates will adjourn, leaving
behind resolutions concerning their
views.
Although it is unknown what the
International Court of Justice will
do, Mike Meile, the head legal aide,
said it will promise to be interesting.
Meile has participated in NMUN for
the past eight years.
To kick off the simulation, John
Scali, the former United Nations
ambassador from the United States,
will speak on the Iranian and
Afghanistanian situation Wednesday
night. Scali, appointed by former
President Nixon, is now the ABC
correspondent to the U.N.
Wednesday afternoon professors
from the Political Science depart
ment will speak to the delegates.
There are 33 delegations from
schools other than UNL, while 37
delegations are from here.
Eighteen delegations consist of
students from Lincoln high schools.
The 15 other delegations include
students from Southwestern College
in Memphis, Tenn., Hamline Univer
sity in St. Paul, Minn and Washing,
ton University in St. Louis, Mo,
Glenn Maloney, the Programming
Consultant for Campus Activities and
Programs, said the purpose of the
NMUN is to increase the knowledge
of the U.N., develop diplomacy,
write resolutions, and practice
debating.
The success of the NMUN
depends upon the delegates who are
participating, MeUe said, adding that
he expects "spirited, ringing
speeches" from some delegates this
year.
To participate as a delegate
requires varying amounts of research.
Meile said delegates from the major
countries of the United States, the
United Kingdom, France, the Soviet
Union and the People's Republic of
China often delve into the country's
past,upto20yearsago.

Working with foreign students is not
new to Kathy Story, but her spring
semester position in the International
Educational Services officers.
A student assistant for two years and a
head resident for one year in UNIA Inter
national House, Story is somewhat
prepared for her field service with foreign
students, which is a requirement for
master's degree in psychology.
Story, a sophomore from Hastings, said
she wanted to be a student assistant. But
she v arbitrarily was placed in the Inter
national House where 35 foreign and 35
American students live together in univer
sity housing. In her sixth year at UNL,
Story will receive her masters degree in
May.
In working with foreign students, Story
said it is necessary to have an open mind
and no dogmatic beliefs., V v
"No one culture has the answers,1 she
said, "If you look long enough, you'll find
another way of doing everything."
; Of the more than'l ,000 foreign students
on the UNL campus, she said 85 percent
are men. Story has begun a program to
bring women foreign students together to
discuss similar experiences, In the first
week, eight women participated.
In another program Story is working on,
25 students have participated. TTie:
Speakers Bureau is a community service
program. Story explained that many
groups from the. community, such as
Senior Diners, have called,' asking for an
international program to be performed at.
their meetings. Story helps to coordinate
the students and the community organi
zations. Story is involved with . Luis Diaz
Perdomo, another counselor in the Inter
national Educational Services, in a cross
cultural communication workshop where
10 students share and play roles.
Much time is put into discussing values -in
the workshops; Story said because, '
You don't realize " everything you say
??m?? from your values. When values are y
different, you can't even understand each
other"
Through her involvement with foreign
students, Story said she has learned there
are no absolutes. She said she has learned
to be more appreciative of other religions
and foods. She has become less critical,
too, she said.
