Mideast crisis

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.

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.
The delegations huddled in
intense conversation on the floor,
on benches and in every corner
of Gambrell Hall's fourth floor

ing began in a large-tabled room
down the hall.
These quick discussions
among the delegations occurred
throughout the three-hour event
and were the root of all accomplishments
made during the
meeting just as caucuses are essential
in real U.N. decisionmaking.
"So many people don't know
how the U.N. operates. In regular
classroom discussion, we
couldn't get this angle on it," in

terdisciplinary studies senior Debbie
Granger said.
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. These positive
aspects include helping students
better understand the decisionmaking
process of the U.N, and

them understand the limits of
governments trying to act alone
and together, and teaching them
how to do research.
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

Cuba presented its resolution,
Colombia and Kuwait chose to
speak for, while Iraq spoke
against, the resolution. It was denied
12-3.
The United States, France, the
United Kingdom and China presented
the resolution that passed,
11-4. The resolution, among
other things, demanded the Iraqi
government withdraw from Kuwait,
cease guerilla support, restore
Kuwait's legitimate government
and end attempts to overthrow
Jordan's government.

one of the many scholarships the
NAACP offers such as the Agnus
Jones Jackson, Ray Wilkins or the
William's scholarship, which is
available to members who plan to
major in either science or
engineering.
The requirements for joining include
good academic standing and
a fee of $3 each semester or $5
each year. If the person wishes to
participate for the year, he will receive
the organization's magazine,
Crises.

Theater Continu
Donlan brings a fire into the
character that makes one realize
and understand Turing's obsessions
with mathmatics and knowledge.
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. Guerchon

The NAACP is growing to ensure

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. Thei
