Loyola Phoenix: LU's Model U.N. competes in New York
Description
An article by Joanna Manieri and Monica Patankar covers the Loyola Model United Nations team's upcoming trip to New York to represent Loyola at the National Model U.N. Conference in New York.
The team planned to travel with a delegation from the Japan Model U.N. program, who had arrived at Loyola on April 1 in order to "become acquainted with and compare research with members of Loyola's" team. The two groups would team up to represent Brazil at the upcoming conference. "Most students are paired with a Japanese student; however, some Loyola students in smaller committees will work on their own, according to [Magdalena] Walczak," graduate assistant for the Loyola team.
The Japanese students were chosen from Japan's universities to compete around the world, and had specifically chosen Loyola for several reasons, including their high rankings the previous year.
While practicing, students recognized that every committee would "inevitably go back to the current war in Iraq," whether from a human rights, economic, or environmental standpoint.

Item 2: Photograph depicting the Model U.N. team members gathered in Galvin Auditorium "to discuss and vote on issues concerning international drug trafficking laws. The meeting is a simulation designed to replicate deliberations of the real U.N. resolution for drug trafficking."
