Model United Nations Assembly interviews for Richland County team

Jace Picken, the Chair of the Model United Nations Assembly for the Wahpeton Rotary has announced that the interviews of the team candidates from the Richland County high schools will be tomorrow evening January 8th at the Wahpeton Airport Authority building.  Five interviewers, including a former MUNA delegate, will question the candidates on current international affairs following which they will select the team.

The Model United Nations Assembly is purported to be a learning simulation of the United Nations General Assembly in its structure and proceedings. Therefore, debates in MUNA, the committee structure, rules of procedure, and the general decorum of delegates, are designed to approximate the UN General Assembly, conditioned, of course, by local limitations.

With the assistance of the then Winnipeg Branch of the Canadian Institute of International Affairs and Winnipeg Branch of the United Nations Association, the Rotary Club of Winnipeg held the first MUNA on April 26 and 27, 1957.
