Juniors to Prepare for Leadership Roles by Dave Renard of the Prep News Staff NE OF Tiffi most important as pects of a senior class is its leadership role in the school. As the class of 1992 prepares to leave SLUH, the current juniors are planning their assumption of this role and reflecting on the directions they wish to take the school next year. A significant part of that planning and reflection will take place See LEADERSHIP, page 4 0 Freshmen Get Oriented, Ponder Future·· by Dave Cruse of the Prep News ~taff NTICIPATtNG Tiffi MANY experiences that lie ahead them, the future members of the class of 1996 and their parents were given their first initiation into the SLUH community last Tuesday evening. The incoming freshmen and their parents were Connally welcomed into the SLUH community 'at the annual Freshman Orientation. 'Ille night began with a mass celebrated by interim president Fr.

After the session in the auditorium, the students and parents were encouraged to talk to members of the faculty for more · specific infonnation. Many also visited . the rec room and made their first purchase at the bookstore.

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."
