Model UN Signup Brisk on First Day
Registration of delegations for the KU Model United Nations began at a fast and furious pace yesterday morning in the KU-Y office.
Betty Reynolds, chairman of the Model UN steering committee, said yesterday that nearly 50 nations had been signed during the first hour of registration for the March 29-30 affair.
STAN WALTON, president of the General Assembly, reported that 55 nations will be represented. The proposed total was 115 countries.
Walton said that three delegations from Foster Hall were first to register, picking the United Kingdom, Canada, and France.
He added that the two principle nations in past mock conferences — the United States and the Soviet Union — will, as usual, be represented by two political science classes. The United States will be represented by a delegation of students from Current American Foreign Policy, taught by Clifford Ketzel, associate professor of political science. A student delegation from Soviet Policies and Problems, taught by Roy Laird, assistant professor of political science, will represent Russia.
"WE FEEL THAT the U.S.S.R. and the United States at least should be represented by students who have a formal background in the matters that will concern these nations." Walton said.
The assembly president also said the Model UN will welcome foreign students at KU as advisors for the various delegations.
"This will help give a true and informative picture of each nation's policies." emphasized Walton.
Starting Feb. 14, there will be several preliminary meetings of the Model UN, concerning mostly the political blocs and resolutions that will come up during the mock sessions.
