Trying to solve the world's conflicts,
delegates at last weekend's
Model United Nations conference
were climbing over tables and
shaking fists as well as conducting
organized discussions in full diplomatic
procedure.
"Even though it's not real, it
helps to know there's something I
can do," Lexington High School
junior Holly Wilson said.
Wilson was one of about 90
high school students from across
the state who attended the Model
U.N. conference. During the con

rooms of Gambrell Hall to

The students were divided into
five committees: the Security
Council, the Economic Commission
for Europe, the Economic
Commission for Africa, the Committee
for Human Rights and the
Committee for the Status of
Women.

mittees is one objective of the
Model U.N. conferences. These
high school students have deve
loped this understanding. By providing
them with another state
conference, USC students are helping
them develop the confidence
and skill they need to participate in
out-of-state conferences, government
sophomore Helen Nickells
said.
They're efforts are helping.
"I've always been interested in international
relations, and I like debating.
I won the best debator
award here last year, and that gave
me confidence," Irmo High School
sophomore Andy Flanagan said.
The conference was organized
by USC's Model U.N. Club. The
club's 20 members sent invitations
to almost every high school in the
state, made the students' hotel arrangements,
provided security, organized
activities and channelled
the delegates into committees.
"This was a full load on students
with classes going on. They
did a great job," said Jim Minor,

and compared them to Winthrop
College's conference, the
state's largest Model U.N. event.
Chapman High School's adviser,
Walter Hoover, said he liked bringing
his students to USC's conference
because "the students don't
get lost here. The USC students
are very supportive of the high
school students and very encouraging.
They put them at ease," he
said.
Hoover said the conference
could be an excellent recruitment
opportunity for the government department.
"The dean ought to realize
the value of this undertaking as
a recruitment tool for some of the
best minds this state produces every
year," he said.

Quite often, students turn to caffeine
for energy stimulation. "Products
like 'No-Doze' are basically ????????? ?1
concentrated caffeine. You ^
shouldn't take caffeine after noon. V
It increases your pulse rate and can
make you very anxious," Bennett
said. I?
"Caffeine is alright in moderate T
amounts ? 200 milligrams a day. *
A cup of coffee has 80 milligrams, <^2* \J
and a can of Coca-Cola soda has JlrfyK
about 60 milligrams of caffeine," i?
Mohn said.
