SLUH Sim'u lates United Nations Leadership
by Todd Hanneken
of the.Prep News Staff
Mcnlhan40SLUHstudentsjoinedhigh
school students from aaoss the state in rqmsenting the nations of the world at the Model
United Nations spring committee sessions on
Aprilll at SLUH.
Participants followed the regulations and
deaign of the real United Nations as closely as
possible at the meetings of the Political and
Security Committee, Economic and Social
Committec:,SecurityCouncil,andthelntemational Court ofJustioe. Students were assigned
nations torepreac:nt at the meetings, and then
wrote resolutions based on the interests of
their country with respect to their committee.
The resolutions were submitted to their particular committees, where they were defeated
or passed by a majority vote after debate and
amending. Resolutions passed will be further
debated and voted on at the meeting of the
Model UN General Assembly at Florissant.
Comtnunity Colle&e on May 8.
The Political and Security Committee
passed two resolutions and sentto the General
Assembly one of fifteen resolutions proposed.
One of the resolutions passed would establish
an international currency.
The Economic &l)d Social Committee
passed three of eight resolutions. The resolutions passed deal with the environment and
education.
Of four resolutions, the Security Council
passed one and sent another to the Gcnetal
Assembly. The resolution paued would set up
a peace conference on Kwdish independence
in the Middle East.,
In the International Court of Justice,
SLUH's Phil Walker and Adam Q. Conway
represented Amnesty International in a suit
against the United States regarding Haitian
Refugees. Although the Court ruled the case to
be out of its jurisdiction, SLUH Model UN
Coordinator Mrs. Peggy Pride commented that
the SLUH lawyers performed "very well."
After .the sessions, delegates frolicked at
a piu.a social held in the SLUH cafeteria.
Mark Lieber, coordinatorof the sessions,
exprc.~sed satisfaction with the"good debate"
at the meetings.
According to Pride,. the purpose of the
Model UN behind the fun is to "promote discussion and debat.e on world issues."
Chemistry Knowledge Equates to Money
Compiled from
Prep News Sources
Many a frustrated chemistry student has
wondered how learning about acid-base titrations or the equilibrium of a solution at standard conditions could ever benefit them. Recently, two SLUH students found a way to tum
their knowledge into prize money through a
chemistry contest sponsored by the St. Louis
Section of the American Chemical Society.
SLUH sophomore Ray. Griner earned
second place itt the contest;and junior Dave
Renard received third. For their chemistry
achievemCJtts, they were invited to a banquet
at Top of the Sevens restaurant in Clayton to
lcicl: off Chemistry Progress Week, which·
included the test and other programs set up by
the ACS to increase chemistry' awareness in
our society.
.
Griner n:ceivcd a certificate, a plaque,
and a check for SllO; RCJtatd was awarded a
ccnificatc, plaque, and $85. The top ftfteen
area students in each category were honored at
the banquet. as well as the seven advanced
students who scored well enough to advance to
the next round of testing, theNational Chemistry Olympiad.
ThetestwasheldonSaturday,Apri.l4, at
the University of Missouri-St. Louis, and at
the Florissant Valley and Meramec Community Colleges. Several SLUH students from
both advanced and regular chemistry classes
took the exam.
The test offered both regular and advanced levels; however, since the advanced
level was for second-year chemistry students,
~ SLUH participants were grouped in the
regular category. The test consisted of 50
multiplechoicequestions, followed by several
fill-in-the-blanks questions and two word
problems that were used as tiebreakers.
SLUH chemistry teacher Mr. Charles
Busenhart (who teaches both Grinu and Renard in his Advanced Chemistry class) also
received a certificate, as did all the teachers of
the winning high school students. Busenhart
was pleased with his students' performances
on the test, commenting, "We have had men
than two students in the top ten before, but
never two in the top five. Second and third
place is excellent."
When asked about the test, Renard commented, "I'm glad I was able to do so well
without having covered some of the things
previously in class. The study sheets Mr.
Busenhart and Mr. Anderson made up were
helpful."
(continued from page 1)
next Monday during the second annual Junior
Leadership Day.
A committee of juniors·has been planning the Leadership Day over the past month
with Fr. Jim Goeke, S.J.• and Mr. Dan Coughlin. The purpose of the day is to discuss leadership opportunities for seniors at SLUit,
including membership on Student Council, a
job as a freshman advisor, or membership on
one of the Presidential Advisory Boards.
Juniors must be in the auditorium at 11 :00
a.m .• and Goeke reminds everyone to buck the
dress code for once and wear a hat to school
(for a pmpose that will be explained later).
After the juniors' initial meeting, they will
break up into smaller groups for the main
activity of the day, their reflection and discussion about leadership. This discussion will
include people's experiences with leadership
and their ideas on what it means to lead.
Next on the agenda will be an activity in
which the members of the small group will
have to work together to achieve a common
goal. The activity is meant to increase
everyone •s awareness of the roles of people in
any group, such as leading, working, giving
ideas.
After a break for lunch, the groups will
reconvene to discuss what they have observed
and learned from the experience, and how it
can be applied to leadership roles in the senior
class.
When asked about his expectations for
the day, Goeke said, "I hope that people will
come with a mind open to what they might
learn and experience [in the discussions and
activities]."
Junior Frank Hunleth, who served on the
planning committee, added that the sessions
should "hopefully bring out leadership quali·
ties in those who don't usually display them, or
will at least help them consider what leadership means."

"The little hallway where my office
is now used to be a very popular place to
play because the ball couldn' t go anywhere when the players lost control of it"
Another of Hagan's contributions to
the SLUH community has been as the
resident locksmith for the school. In addi·
tion to his abundant supply of keys ~­
ready made and hanging 8.11 ~und the
walls of his office, all· the iriformation
necessary to make replacement ot additional keys is meticulously stored in
Hagan's floorplans that mark every door
in the school and the type of key needed to
open it
Among the keys useful for today's
building are a number of unusable keys
that recall days when the set up of SLUH
was quite different
"The lockers in the school used to all
have keys and I had tom~ekeys for all of
them," Hagan mentioned, "until some of
the kids realized all the locks were similar, and, eventually, reali7..cd that they
could make skeleton keys simply by filing
down parts of their own keys. It was about

Hagan is al~ vity dedicated to the
student body, at least as much as to his
trophy-winning teams, especially to the
newcomersoftheSLUHcommunity.For
more than thirty years, he acted as a freshman theology teacher and still works as a
freshman counselor.
He attends many of the freshman
athletic.activities so that they know there
is someone who recognizes their achievements.
And a common sight in freshman
homerooms, even today, is Fr. Hagan
standing in the door, memorizing the
names of the new students, so that there is
someone who can call each of them by
name.

lay, Wendt, and Marshall also was very
impressive, placing third with a time of
3:40.54.
The key to the victory was not a
predominance of first place wins but rather
many seconds and thirds with a few firsts
mixed in.
The Trackbills look to continue this
tradition at the important Oakville Invitational this weekend.
