MUN MUN MUN

Ahh, model UN. One of Eastern High School's most successful extracurricular activities. The place to be for all aspiring lawyers, politicians, and UNers. But what really goes on with these conferences? Here's a breakdown.
One Days
  • SJMUN is always the best conference in the SJ consortium...yay Eastern
  • Nobody really prepares much for these. I write my papers the night before...
  • But...the organizers do a lot of work behind the scenes like getting guest speakers, making al the placards and folders, setting up rooms, typing, getting permissions...the whole lot. Make sure you give them respect!
  • Easy to win awards (if your good enough :P)
  • You can fool around and have a blast in committee...without getting yelled at.
  • Do well, and teachers get impressed...good cred when overnight selection time comes.
Overnights
  • Have a blast when your friends are going...rooming with crazy people is always fun :D
  • Make sure you pack gum...bad breath is a turn-off in committee.
  • Never room with smelly people. Never.
  • Dress sharp, and wear really smooth cologne. Best dressed is always a plus for award contention.
  • Never talk smack about your chair in committee. Its just plain stupid, and you lose all respectability.
  • Do not, under any circumstances, pass seductive/perverted notes (This actually happened to some kids in my committee). If the chairs find out, ohhhh damn. I'd run.
  • Keep your clothes organized. You want to be able to pack up quickly on the last day.
  • Always scream MOORESTOWN! when you get in trouble or are being obnoxious. :P
  • Go wild at the delegate dance. Just dance all night and partayyy! Its more fun that way.
  • Use fancy language and terms in committee. It gets the other people to respect you.
  • But....dont overdo it. Also, dont be an annoying, in-your-face delegate. It pisses me off.
  • Win awards here (if you can), and you gain major cred with the GTers and the UN group.
So that's pretty much it. Have fun and remember.... Model UN is AWESOME!!!
