for High School Teachers & Students
6 October 2000
Dear Teachers
and Students,
We want to thank all the schools that sent
representatives to the 2000-2001 Gateway Model
United Nations country draft on September 30.
Congratulations to C.B.C., Collinsville, Cor Jesu, DeSmet, Gateway,
Hazelwood Central, Hazelwood East, Lindbergh, Maplewood-Richmond Heights,
McCluer North, Nerinx Hall, Notre Dame, Parkway North, Riverview Gardens,
Rosati-Kain, Soldan International Studies, St. Elizabeth’s, St. Louis
University High, Thomas Jefferson, and University City High Schools for showing
up and drafting a total of 89 countries.
There are exactly 100 nations remaining for
the schools that were not present to select from.
However, the “penalty” to those schools that were not being present
at the draft is that they will not be able to have a representative on the
Security Council. We have included
with this mailing a list of all the 189 countries and the schools that have
already selected some of them. The countries and schools in bold print are Security
Council countries.
We want to let teachers and students from
the schools that were not at the country draft that we would very much like to
have them participate in our program this year. Simply
check out the country list and inform us of which of the remaining countries you
would like to represent. You can
E-Mail us at [email protected] or [email protected],
or you can call us at (314) 367-6480, you can fax us at (314) 367-7742, or you
can even use snail mail (the U.S. Postal Service).
Also included with this mailing is a blank
form to register delegates. Completing
this neatly is of enormous benefit to us and you.
It allows the students from your schools to be listed in our Delegate
Handbook and helps students contact one another to collectively work on
resolutions, amendments, etc. You also have the option of registering electronically
on our web site at www.civitas-stl.com.
Registering electronically is very helpful to us because everything is
neat and it can be imported into our database.
For those of you going to the Alabama
Model United Nations in Tuscaloosa, AL, October 18 – 21, we will
send out additional information the week of October 9.
Payments will be due at our meeting on Saturday, October 14.
The Saturday, October 14 meeting will also
be a discussion group. Everyone’s invited!
Thanks for everything and if you have any
questions, do not hesitate to contact us!
Sincerely yours,
Arthur H. Lieber & Gretchen Haupt

School M.U.N. Coordinators
