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.

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.
