Mideast crisis use el By KATHY HEBERGER Assistant Carolina Life Editor After three hours of caucusing last Wednesday, GINT 330, a.k.a. the United Nations Security Council, approved a resolution to end the crisis in the Middle East. They might have been frustrated with the rules and strict nrnr-prtiirp that i<j nart r?f thf. U.N.'s diplomatic etiquette, but students in Professor Roger Coate's two GINT 330 classes, Understanding the Origin of International Organizations, are learning through hands-on experience. "The resolution-making process goes on forever and ever. Nobody agrees on anything, and it takes a long time to get anything accomplished," political science senior Renee Howell said, adding that if she was on the real U.N. Security Council, she would definitely go crazy. The students, usually in groups of two, represented the 20 countries on the U.N. Security Council.

Coate, who participated in a professor/diplomat exchange program with the U.N. last year, provided the students with real newsclippings about events occurring in the Middle East and also created news to make the emergency assembly of the U.N. Security Council necessary. For instance, Coate's mock press releases to his class stated that Jordan's King Hussein "was recovering rapidly from gun-shot wounds received earlier this week in an aborted assassination attempt." He said the mock resolutionmaking has the four primary benefits for students.

The classes went to Thomas Cooper Library to dig for key U.N. voting records, documents and background on the Middle East. They also researched the social, political and economic histories of the Security Council member countries to understand existing bonds between U.N. member countries and, therefore, make authentic decisions. After adjusting to U.N. procedure. the Council decided on an agenda and determined the order of presentation of resolutions. Near the beginning of the meeting.

His portrayal lets one see that Turing just wants to fit in somewhere but refuses to conform to society's ideas of how he should act. The performance is also made much more credible by Thomas Becker, a first year master of fine arts student, who plays the police inspector who discovers Turing's sexual preference. Becker's character has a hard shell and a devotion to his job and to the truth. Becker brings humanity into the character and is excellent in the part. E. Timna Guerchon, a second year master of fine arts student, is also very well cast as Pat Green, Turing's close female friend who falls in love with him.

The NAACP is growing to ensure the rights of minorities and to learn more about the black experience of living in a predominately white country. "The NAACP has allowed me to learn more about my Afro-American self, history and culture in the last three years than I have learned in my entire life," Sweat said. ed from page 4 makes the character lovable and one almost hates Turing when he rejects her love. The best part of the play comes in the second half when Turing gives a series of speeches that show the depths of his passion for mathematics. Donlan shows such power in these scenes that it makes the plot that much more credible. Even though Breaking the Code has quite a few humorous moments that keep the story from being too serious, it is not a comedy. It is more than just a biography. It is a study of an individual who tries to find his place in a conformist's world. It is more than worth the price of admission. Admission is $9 for the public, $8 for faculty, staff, and senior ci-, tizens, and $5 for students.
