Oil wells, camels,

sand at Ralston?

Saudi Arabian delegation at
A Ralston? Sound strange? Well
not for juniors Andy Bellus, Von
King and Paul Pritchard, who partic­
ipated in the model United Nations
held at U.N.O.
"We chose Saudi Arabia because
it was economically socmd,” said
Paul Pritchard.
The model U.N. is set up just like
the real one in many ways.
"The students play other coun­
tries and appreciate other points of
view,” said sponsor Mr. Dale Kin­
ney.
Bills were passed and strategies
were thought out forthe model U.N.
"Our strategy was to keep the
other nations off guard so we could
surprise them with the bills that
favored us,” Andy Bellus said.
"We tried to pass a bill which con­
demned the actions of Israel,” Von
King commented.
Like the real U.N. this one had
problems too.
"The students were supposed to
gain insight to the problems of the
world,"Mr. Kinney said.
In the end, Ralston won three out­
standing speaker awards: one in
political communications and two in
economics.

Striking a diplomatic pose, Andy Bellus arrives at the model
U.N. convention.
