On Friday, Nov. 7, Model United Nations (UN) members kicked off their three day Stanford Model UN conference. With nearly 15 committees and 11 committee sessions, students debated on global issues from the perspective of different countries.

For junior Henry Smith, this conference helped him gain more confidence in public speaking and debating skills.

“I felt I made a lot of progress in terms of Model UN. I’ve never really spoken as much as I have at Stanford. In general, this is a really big step up in terms of confidence in Model UN. I had confidence that I could potentially win an award, and while I didn’t, I still felt I made huge steps to get there,” Smith said.

Junior Ethan Chen ended the conference on a good note after receiving an honorable mention award for his position paper and overall speaking performance.

“Although I didn’t speak that much, I felt like every time I spoke was very impactful. So I think that’s partially what helped me win this award,” Chen said.

Many attendees including Smith and Chen have participated at Stanford yearly and plan to go next year.

“For one, it’s the closest college conference to us. I always felt like the past years I’ve been, the Stanford staffers have always been very nice. It’s always been a very streamlined conference, and I like how it isn’t as competitive or as strict as other conferences like Berkeley,” Chen said.

After two years of hosting the annual homecoming dance off-campus, students celebrated the first dance in the new gym on Saturday, Nov. 8.

The event featured food made by the foods and nutrition class, a D.J., dance floor, and photo booth.

Sophomore Naya Noureddine said she enjoyed the fun atmosphere and dance floor.

“It took a second for people to get to the dance floor. But once they did, it was really nice. If you leave the dance circle, you could kind of see people with their arms up dancing from afar, and it looks really cool, ” Noureddine said.

Outside the gym featured a silent disco and a ‘Mr.Softees’ ice cream truck serving free desserts to students.

Associated Student Body President and senior Kagan Goldstein, who helped set up the event, said she enjoyed seeing students take advantage of the outdoor space during the dance.

“I definitely did not anticipate as many students hanging out outside as they did. I did want there to be some outside space, especially having experience being at home coming and on the dance floor, it can get super hot and packed very quickly,” Goldstein said.

For Goldstein, this year’s venue provided much more ease in preparation and planning due to its accessibility.

“Through the gym, we were able to set up the night before, which saved us so much time. Last year the venue, a lot of things were catered or already set up, but this year, it was leadership and maintenance completely on our own,” Goldstein said.

Girls’ volleyball is one of Burlingame’s most competitive sports. Across three teams, there are only 45 roster spots, while more than 70 athletes typically try out every year. The program’s competitive nature leads many prospective players to search for ways to improve their chances. Head coach Hannah Korslund said many players compete in club volleyball during the offseason to train for the school season. While club experience isn’t required to make the team, Korslund said it helps players prepare for the intensity of tryouts.
