Our inaugural post is by Alan Butler, who will be retiring soon from the Middle East MUN scene. Name: Alan Butler School: Doha College, Qatar Number of years being an MUN director: 7 Conferences attended: DC- MUN, THIMUN, QLC, Ath- ens, DIAMUN, BEIMUN; with DCMUN, we have so much to do inside Qatar! Idea of a dream vacation: Been a lot of places, but Bali 25 years ago was never sur- passed; beauty and peace at every corner. Biggest peeves: People that cannot queue politely, underachievement of any form, and staf that do not go the extra mile for their students. Animal lover?: A huge dog lover. Have had Labradors, and, in the near future, will have a small terrier. What makes you laugh the hardest? Laughter is really important. I love it when my wife does diferent funny ac- cents. Biggest challenge juggling teaching and being and MUN director: Easily, TIME. I have been lucky at Doha College with great support from management. If I was a principal and knowing how benefcial the MUN journey is, I would have lots of staf allocated to the program. I believe that in the USA, there are some schools that have full- time debating coaches on the staf. I would like to see every large senior school with the MUN equivalent. Something you wish parents understood about MUN: Generally parents are very supportive, but I wonder if they realize the hours it takes to run the programme. Most memorable MUN moment: Many, many special moments. But SG Ryian Alam’s standing ovation afer her DCMUN VII Dinner Speech in 2014 was amazing to be part of. Open Forum: I have taught for 42 years and I have been involved with many successful sport teams and compe- titions. Te Gordonstoun Challenge was a huge favourite. I have had the huge pleasure of being with so many talented, wonderful students. By far, the greatest thrill and satisfaction of my teaching career has been my MUN journey and the wonderful people I have had the honour to spend time with over the last 7 years. Tank you to them all. When I was a 6th Form tutor, I used to teach the students to try to be the kind of person you would want to meet again tomorrow, and I am still trying to achieve this myself. I hope that THIMUN Qatar and DCMUN will continue to grow, and I wish all staf and students involved with MUN everywhere a rewarding future. Page 2 Student Spotlight!

Tree words that describe you as a delegate: Cooperative, Liberal, Passionate Favorite comfort food: Cereal (Coco Pops) Favorite thing to do when you don’t have homework: Read (Historical Fiction)/ Spend time with good friends. Personal MUN Goal for the year: I aspire to grow as an MUN student, and become better at delivering my thoughts and ideas efectively. I hope to help lead the MUN club at my school to becoming a group of competitive strong debaters. One major improvement you’d like to see in Model UN. : Overall, I'd love to see rising delegates treat their assigned countries with the respect and pres- tige they deserve. Delegates ofen need to be reminded that MUN is similar to drama in that you are assigned a character you should stick with. Tey are ofen carried away with the passion and excitement and forget what their countries views on an issue may be. I hope for future conferences to be flled with the same level of enthusiasm I witness every day, that remind me of the lovely MUN community I am a part of. Page 3 QLC / THIMUN News Passing: An Introduction to THIMUN Qatar 2016 By Tushan Puhalendran, Deputy Secretary-General of TQ 2016 With the close of this month, as exams come to an end, many of the old class of debaters and student leaders will be mov- ing on to new adventures. But with their passing also comes the handing down of the responsibility to do as they did by helping welcome a new generation of students to Model UN, sharing with them what we've learned, and instilling in them the passion to fnd out more of what is happening in the world around us. And to that end, THIMUN Qatar is working towards its largest conference yet. But what makes a conference successful? For the casual delegate, success comes in the delivery of a speech in the nation's largest theatre, in opening one's mind to the perspectives of 1600 strangers from across Europe, Asia and Africa.
