U.N. Council members will play host to 400 high school students from Greater Boston today in "Massachusetts' first model United Nations sessions," Council president Samuel A. Olevson '54 announced last night.
The 400, representing member nations in the U.N., will split up into 40-man committees to study ten potential United Nations problems, including the internationalization of Jerusalem, an end to atomic weapons production, and the issues of interplanetary travel and outer space control. "The importance of space control, though seemingly far off, cannot be underestimated," commented Olevson.
Arthur N. Holcombe '06, Eaton Professor of the Science of Government, will keynote the day's activity at 9:45 a.m. in Mallinckrodt.
Olevson noted that over a third of the 330 students who requested to represent a specific member of the United Nations chose Russia or a satellite, while only 84, roughly one fourth, asked to be U.S. delegates.
