                             HON. DAVE CAMP

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 10, 1995
  Mr. CAMP. Mr. Speaker, I want to recognize the accomplishment of 18 
young men and women from Alma College, in the Fourth Congressional 
District of Michigan.
  Every year, the United Nations in New York City sponsors a ``Model 
United Nations Championships'' which is a simulation of committee work 
the U.N. performs. In this competition, students compete in areas such 
as building and keeping peace, leadership skills, and other issues such 
as the role of women in national government.
  This year, 165 teams, consisting of 1,945 students from 40 States and 
18 countries, participated in this 4-day competition. In the end, it 
was the team from Alma that won it all.
  These students worked up to 40 hours a week in preparation for this 
competition. Their hard work and sacrifice, as well as the efforts of 
their advisor, Dr. Sandy Hume, resulted in a world championship for 
Alma College
  Their campus, their community, their State and their country have 
reason to be proud.We can be proud because they set a goal, worked 
tirelessly to achieve that goal and joined together as a team to 
accomplish that goal. As far as I'm concerned, they were winners before 
they ever got to New York.
  Congratulations to Dr. Hume and the students of the 1995 Model United 
Nations World Champions. And here's to sweet repeat in 1996.
