4 October 1997

Dear Greeting,

Thanks to everyone who made it to the "country draft" a week ago Saturday at Crossroads. We had an excellent turnout and 97 delegations were filled. Enclosed with this mailing is a listing of the selections for the General Assembly. The Security Council roster is listed below.

1997 SECURITY COUNCIL MEMBERS

NOTE: This list reflects corrections from the letter which was sent out.

• * Germany is a sixteenth member of our Security Council so that all schools that were present at the Sept. 27 draft have one Security Council country.

Incidentally, we have decided to accept the requests for the Vatican and the Palestine Liberation Organization (P.L.O.) to be represented in the General Assembly as non-voting members. The Vatican will be represented by DeSmet; the P.L.O. by Soldan.

We do not have a limiting list of issues to be discussed in this Fall’s model UN. However, a number of different topics have been mentioned as possibilities. They are listed below and are provided only as suggestions for resolutions. We will accept any resolution, which is relevant to the purposes of the Security Council or the three General Assembly committees (Political & Security, Economic & Social, and Human Rights).

Resolutions must be submitted to the MUN office by Friday, November 7.

Also enclosed with this mailing (for faculty advisors only) is the Delegate Roster Form. We ask that each school submit the names of its students who will be in the Gateway Model U.N., including the country they will represent and the committee in which they will serve. Any delegate preferring not to be listed in the Handbook should place an asterisk by his or her name. The Delegate Roster Form should be returned to the MUN office by Friday, October 24.

Our delegate handbook is one of the few ways in which the Gateway Model U.N. is able to raise funds. We have ads for sale ranging from $10.00 to $75.00. The delegate handbook is a good place to promote a school, club, business, or organization. We have enclosed a delegate handbook ad form for your convenience. Please feel free to make additional copies.

We are also getting our delegation together for MUNUC (Model United Nations of the University of Chicago) which will be from January 29 – February 1. The cost is expected to be $350. The twenty students who have already indicated interest are:

We can take up to ten more students. If you’re interested, please let us know as soon as possible. Also, we need to get our country requests into MUNUC by October 20. If you have a preference, please call us, E-Mail us, or cast your votes on our web site.

Here’s our list of activities and deadlines through November 15.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to call at 367-6480.

Sincerely yours,

Arthur H. Lieber

Model U.N. Coordinator
