Model UN Alters For Centennial
The KU-Y Model United Nations will undergo a major change before next year's session, Richard J. White, Wakefield, Mass., junior, said last night.
White, chairman of the Model UN steering committee, explained that the committee plans to run the Model UN on an inter-collegiate level similar to other schools in the Big Eight.
"Since the Model UN will be held next year during the University's Centennial celebration, we are hoping that the change will make for a most effective Model UN," White said.
White also explained that the steering committee itself will be changed.
"THE COMMITTEE as it is now is divided into housing, publicity, and coordinating sections, but because next year's Model UN will include representatives from other schools, the committee will have to be revamped to take care of the new problems involved." he said.
White said that the system employed now is the bloc system composed only of students from KU in the various blocs. He explained that in the new plan, delegations from nearby colleges and universities will be invited to participate.
"The split in the assembly will be approximately 60-40," White went on. "Sixty per cent of the delegations will be students from here, and the other 40 per cent will be from outside."
WHITE SAID THIS system will result in an effective Model UN for two reasons. First, the delegations from KU will be more selective and will include more qualified people. Second, the presence of strangers (representatives from other schools) will encourage the KU students to work harder.
"All area colleges will be encouraged to send delegations, but we will concentrate on encouraging participation from the junior colleges in the area," White said.
He explained that such a move will promote better relationships and communications between the junior colleges and KU.
Another change in the actual running of the Model UN will be the length of actual participation in the assembly, White said.
"INSTEAD OF THE USUAL five weeks of bloc meetings ending with a two-day assembly, we will concentrate the entire Model UN into three days—the Thursday, Friday, and Saturday of the four-day Centennial celebration." White explained.
White hopes that this change will alleviate the problem of waning interest during the former long period of bloc meetings.
The change in the steering committee will result in dividing it into five areas.
"The first is the physical arrangements," White said. "These people will be in charge of taking care of expanded needs in housing for the outside participants and for seeing that we get expanded assembly room."
"RESEARCH WILL BE one of the main departments," he explained. "They will be concerned with contacting other colleges to see what problems they had with the Model UN programs." He added that they will be responsible for investigating all organization plans from other universities.
"Publicity will be in two phases." White said. He explained that there will be two people-one for the on-campus publicity and one for the off-campus publicity.
The other two divisions are finance and secretarial. White said that each division will be headed by a member from the steering committee.
