DESTRUCTION DESIGNED FOR THE BIG

t's never too late — or
too early — to solve the
world's problems.
Asher Feldman, a 10th-
grade student at Akiva
Hebrew Day School, was
awakened in the wee
hours of the morning two
weeks ago by the chair-
man of the United
Nations.
The crisis: England's
John Major had been
assassinated.
Asher, along with other
high-schoolers attending
Yeshiva University's
model U.N. program, scur-
ried to respond to the lat-
est episode of internation-
al violence.
"We were all there (at
the emergency session) in
pajamas," Asher said. "We
signed a resolution and
went back to sleep."
At 7 the next morning,
500 students from schools
across the United States
and Canada awoke to face
a day of diplomatic role-
playing. The third annual
model U.N., held at a
hotel in Meadowlands,
N.J., aimed to educate
young people about the
United Nations, world
problems, conflict resolu-
tion and compromise.
"It's set up like the
United Nations, so all the
jargon and parliamentary
procedure were used,"
explained Geoff Dworkin,
an Akiva student.
Each school represented
different countries. The 11
students from Akiva rep-
resented Nigeria and
Hungary.
Nechama Hochbaum, a
ninth-grade student,
served on the Commission
for Human Rights. She
and fellow committee
members drafted resolu-
tions on health care and
arbitrary arrests.
Azriel Chelst, another
ninth-grader at Akiva,
discussed disinvestment
in South Africa and Third
World debt while serving
on the Economics and
Findnce Committee with
classmate Rechelle
Winkler.
Akiva students chose
.which committees they
wanted to sit on after they
were invited to attend the
Model U.N. program last
October. TI-, F>ti.idents
researched issues relevant

to their committee and
"native" country.
"When you study other
countries, you learn their
views," said Etan Berman,
a 10th-grade student.
"It inspires us to be
more active and aware of
what's going on," added
10th-grader Zachary
Herman.
Dena Rothstein, a
ninth-grader, said, "It
makes you want to work
harder to solve your coun-
try's problems."
"You go out of yourself,"
said classmate Daniel
Kantor. "You're not repre-
senting your views. You're
representing your coun-
try's views. So you try to
understand other people's
views and learn to sympa-
thize with them."
The program, chaper-
oned by Akiva social stud-

"You're
representing your
country's views.
So you try to
understand other
people's views
and learn to
sympathize."

ies teacher Kathy Sklar,
also was social. Students
attended a Shabbaton and
recreational activity at an
arcade.
"It was just great to
meet everybody," said
ninth-grader Elana
Nussbaum.
But most of the stu-
dents' time was spent in
session, working out prob-
lems they might someday
try to solve on a larger
scale.
Akiva student Amy
Zwas targeted some areas
of improvement.
"My main conclusion
from the event was that
the United Nations can't
possibly get anything done
because everyone dis-
agrees and there's too
much parliamentary pro-
cedure," she said. <
"Everybody's looking out
for himself. It was fiin,
though." LI
