A Short Summary of Events

By: Jane Swartz

5. Mini-Pete Buttigeig 

We’ve all seen him. He looks like a younger Pete Buttigeig. That’s honestly all I have to say here.

4. James Bond

Discussions of spies arose in the Security Council, prompting the United Kingdom to bring in their top man: James Bond. He joined the fray on Friday night, and topped it off with a wig and a Russian accent.

3. The Fifteen-Page Directive

Mexican Independence moved onto the Constitution-building half of their session, and confusion ensued as the husband of the deceased Mariana Rodriguez del Toro had written a fifteen page directive on how to format the new government. This was then simplified to two pages because it was too hard to understand.

2. ADHOC Inquisition

Suspicions of foul play involved in the Better Napalm leak prompted the committee to conduct an inquisition on six of those in the room. And when did it happen? Around twenty minutes before the dinner break, delegates flying into a frenzy of questioning. If you heard yelling on the third floor, it was definitely them.

1. Pedro’s Happy Birthday Candy Grams

Everyone knows about Candy Grams, one of the charity fundraisers. You pay a dollar, and you get to send someone, friends, chairs, or advisors, a little note and a piece of candy. Most people get one or two, but Pedro Sanchez, of the International Olympic Committee, received two orange envelopes full of them on his birthday, Sunday. This unusually high volume was the result of a collaborative effort from many delegates at the conference, originally spread by those from Pedro’s school, Kalamazoo Central.
