    Model U.N.
staff on
By John Yagecie
The fruits of countless hours of hard
work and preparation and the generosity
of the Penn State Harrisburg community
were harvested on Feb. 16 through the
18 at the Penn State Harrisburg high
school Model United Nations.
This year's conference was especially
successful because of the dedicated
members of the International Affairs
Association.
Dr. Clem Gilpin, assistant professor
of community systems and afro-
American studies, commended the Model
U.N. team for their ability and
pusevevance.
"We were very fortunate to have a
core group of highly dedicated and
motivated Capital students to run the
conference," Gilpin said, "this year they
were exceptionally well prepared."
Senior public policy major and
president of the lAA Lori Howe was
very pleased with the outcome of the
Model U.N., but releived to have a
respite fmm the tension.
"There is a great deal of time and
energy put into the whole program,"
Howe said.

"The conference was a success due
partly to all the support we received
from the campus community," said
Howe.
This support came primarily in the
form of housing provided by PSU-
Harrisburg students for the 450 visiting
high school delegates.
"That is crucial," said Gilpin.
"Many of the schools that attended
probably could not have come to the
conference if our students hadn't opened
up their homes," stated Gilpin.
The result of all this effort was a
conference that opened the minds of high
school students to the world around
them.
"The students were introduced to
countries that they generally would not
study in high school," Gilpin said.
"They definitely learned something,"
said senior public policy major Brien
Kalnoski.
"It was a an educational experience
for both the kids and the staff involved,"
Kalnoski said.
One of the high school students who
took part in the conference, Middletown
High School senior Keith Miller, was

especially pleased with the conference.
"It was a great oppurtunity to learn
about international affairs and develop
communication skills," Miller said.
"We had to express ourselves as the
countries we were representing," said
Miller.
"I got the chance to meet many
people, not only as high school students
but as representatives of different
nations; it was very worthwhile," Miller
said.
One complaint voiced by Dr. Gilpin
and the lAA members was the unusual
lack of media coverage this year, despite
the undeniable success of the 89 Model
U.N.
