Parkside is one of three universities in the country to sponsor such an event. In the model OAS, Parkslde students acted as mentors to the high school students by helping them get started In researching their countries, lending moral support and showing them where mate. rials are In the library. Gerald Greenfield, director of the international studies program explained, .'The OAS In Washington runs a high school program that Is now entering Its fourth year, so we're only one year behind their national program." He continued, "We devel- oped the model we use be· ,cause, although it follows a general simulation, the pre- paratory stage Is very differ. ent from ours. In most of the models, they send out infor. mation and -rely on a teacher and the students to get It aJI down. We developed ours in the way that It dtdn't require teachers to do any exira work...we were able to do that by developing materials ourselves here...the second thing Is that a Parkslde stu. dent serves as mentor to the high school teams so we had twelve Parkslde students working with the project this year." According to ChrIs Kemper, mentor to Panama, Peru and Mexico, "The OAS has been going since the tum of the century with the idea of Pan- Americanism, that North America and South America are Inter- related and working to solve problems." The actual OAS has thirty- three members and has na- tions that act as observers, such as canada and some European nallons. Parkslde's OAS admitted Cuba. which Is not a member of the Wash- Ington OAS, In order to offer Parkstde's pallcipants a greater learning experience. The high school students were Instructed by their men- tors to act as if they were ae- , tuaJIy clllzens of the countries they represented. They could not think as If they were from the United States, but had to take acllon that would be con- alstent with their countries. As Kay Rouse, mentor to Brazil stated. "What I dtd with my group was tell them that from the minute I snapped my finger, they wer- en't students from Racine, Wisconsin anymore. They be- came Brazlllans and they had to think like BrazUlans.' , Nadene Ellis, who served as mentor to Nicaragua and Paraguay and actuaJIy ltved in Paraguay for one year. ex- ptsJned that there were four· committees plus the general committee and one person from each country met with each committee. resolutions were passed and later brought to the general assem- bly, where they were either passed or rejected. Greenfield explained that there were also a few faculty members who sat in on the committees and some awards were given. The problems addressed ranged from the problem of OAS see page 5 awkins earned respect of COlleagues, students byKellyMcKissick WOO.
