EDITORIAL

Here follows a story from two relieved editors. As we sit behind our computers, wrapping up the last bits of a new volume of The Daily Dutchman, it is only (!) a little past five o’ clock. This not only means that we are close to printing our second issue, it means that we are close to printing our second issue of today!

Like a bunch of workhorses, the pressteam has gone through increadible measures to finish another issue. Even so much, that a snackbarbreak was neccessary to regain our strengths. Yes, a ‘patatje oorlog’ and a ‘frietje met mayo en ui’ can have remedial effects! In addition, we maintain our comfort wrapped up in a duvet, playing the ukelele and occasionally with one of our hands stuffed up the back of an odd looking puppet.

With this issue, we hope to focus on you: the delegates; because this session is ultimately about you. We’ve reported on everything from your resolutions to your fashion sense, and we’ve thrown in some party tips and tricks that you may find useful (*suggestive wink*).

What we would lastly want to give you, is support for tomorrow - the last and most intense day of the session. You will, no doubt, be exhausted at this stage of the weekend and you are certainly to be commended for getting this far while remaining conscious. Your achieve-ment will be further solidified tomorrow, when you arrive at the GA all dressed-up with your game faces on; and by game we mean - of course - reasoned, civilised debate.

Remember to enjoy GA tomorrow as you’ve enjoyed the session so far; because no matter what the outcome, you will always carry the great memories you’ve accumulated this week-end. As always, we hope that this paper helps you keep them fresh in your mind.

Let us entertain you,

Leonie and Mark

OPENING CEREMONY

3

THE YOUTH IS NOT THE FUTURE,THE YOUTH HOLDS THE FUTURE IN THEIR HANDS

The opening ceremony is one of the things that comes back at every EYP session. But this time, we made history with the earliest opening cer-emony ever. It was 6.30 when everyone woke up by the sweet voice of our Head organiser Casper Jansen. Although everyone had a short night of sleep we were all surprisingly energetic. It’s amazing what coffee can do for you. Moreover everyone looked really elegant.

When the board walked in, everyone turned si-lent immediately. The first speaker of the cere-mony was one of the two head organisers Gerald Gilhooley. He made a few organisal announce-ments and reassured us that if there was any-thing you needed or that bothered you, or if you just wanted to talk about life in general, he was there for you. His speech is as we say in Dutch: “Kort maar krachtig”.

He was then followed by the head of the Jury: Mark Mcdaid from Ireland. He started with warn-ing everyone for the cheesiness that was about to follow. He explained clearly what the Jury will be looking for. It was not the ability to make points or speak Oxford English, but rather ‘express an honest opinion, in a concrete vision’. According to him one of the difficulties during committee work is being able to criticize your own ideas. He ended with giving us something to think about with saying it was about ‘the inspiration you can give and take’. In our honest opinion there was little cheese to be found.

And last but certainly not least the lovely presi-dent Klara Sebakova took the stage. She began with saying how wonderful the Eurovillage was.

She explained that she loves EYP because it combines fun and education. According to her one of the most promi-nent lessons you can learn from EYP is how to make com-promises. At last she expressed her hope that everyone will talk to as much people as they can, and make this weekend a long lasting memory. And finally the moment was there, she officially opened the session and the work could begin.

The message of the opening ceremony was clear: have a blast, make new friends and challenge yourself. We want to wish you the best of luck and we hope that you enjoy everything as much as we do!

EYP CAFE

EYP Cafe – The magical feeling of a session.You know that guy/girl you’ve been looking at for the duration of the session so far?He/she will be at the EYP Café. There is no better time to make your move. Just like Eurovillage, EYP Café is where you will get many of your memories from the session.If the Dutch prelims are the preparation for Dutch Nationals then the disco last night was the warm-up for tonight’s adventurous event. Dance, dance and dance. If you think you’re a good dancer then do not hesitate to challenge Klara, she’s always up for it, or your chairs. Stay away from Ruben though, his dancing skills are way above your levels. And everyone elses. But if you think you can take him, by my guest to try but be aware, at your own risk. He will rock your world… My sincerest suggestion is that you pick out a specific fellow delegate whom you will try you’re a-game on. Who knows, it could work…I’ll be a very nice guy now and help you along the way with tips. I suggest that you should, without a doubt, put on your very best clothes. Dress to impress, so to say. You never know what chances might pop up. To quote a true Canadian legend, Wayne Gretzky,: ‘you miss 100% of the shots you do not take”. Couldn’t have said it better myself…To assist you even further, I will give you a selection of the very best pickup lines which have a 100% success rate in all cases.

Have fun at the EYP Café. It will definitely be a night to remember…Sebastian

Top 11 extraordinary (and cheesy) pickup lines:

1 Your dad must be a terrorist, I mean, look at those bombs.

2. Hi, my name is [your name] but you can call me darling.

3. I would look good on you.

4. Excuse me, I lost my phone number, can I have yours?

5. I just noticed you noticing me and I just want to put you on no-tice that I noticed you too.

6. God must be upset tonight since he is missing an angel.

7. You must be tired because you’ve been walking around in my head all day.

8. Hi, do you want to sit down and talk or should we continue flirt-ing from distance?

9. Is your name Summer? ‘Cause you’re hot! just noticed you notic-ing me

10. If I could rearrange the alphabet, I would put ‘U’and ‘I’togheter.

11. Are you from Tennessee? ’Cause you’re the only ten-I-see.

ECONINSIDER

Served with what might be the hardest topic on this ses-sion the committee on Economic Affairs stands before a big challenge. The question they need to answer is what measures the EU should take to address the financial crisis and to support economic recovery. Will they manage?

ECON had no trouble switching from the crazy events from last night to a serious discussion about econom-ics. Being aware of the fact that the topic was big they planned every minute of the committee work. They made a very challenging schedule and we all hoped they could keep up with it. It was a good thing that the two ECON delegates Marloes and Leonie kept track of everything, noting everything on the class board.

Brainstorming resulted in a lot of great ideas. Also Lijse was constantly firing ideas, and really enjoying herself. The best thing about all the plans of ECON is that they are realistic. Another asset the committee on Economic Affair does not lack is their ambition. They did not only think about the economy, they also discussed to what extent they should consider greenhouse gasses and they were already planning on how Europe should stay competitive in a post-crisis world.

After a fast coffee break the committee was fit again. However, they played two legendary games before they resumed working on the resolution. Karolina con-jured a Swedish krona out of no where and they played the coin game. I’ll explain it for the people that are not jet familiar with it. All the participants lie on their back, besides each other, in a long row, in a boy-girl-boy-girl order. Now the coin is placed on the chest of the first

participant. The goal is to get the coin on the other side of the row, only using your chest to pass the game on. When the coin hits the ground, the coin goes back to the start of the row. This results in a lot of tight grabbing and rolling over each other, a hilarious sight. For some reason the coin kept disappearing in the shirt of Mar-loes, causing it to fall on the ground. All this was to great pleasure of Daan who was lying next to her. Milan’s day was made when he was placed next to his chair Karo-lina, making his dream come true.

As if this was not enough the coin game was followed by ‘Honey tell me that you love me’. Everyone stands in a big circle, and one person stands in the middle. The person in the middle needs to pick someone from the group and tell him or her: ‘Honey, tell me that you love me’. If the other person can reply ‘Honey, I love you too, but I just can’t laugh.’ without cracking up the person in the middle stays in his place. However when he can’t keep his laugh, he or she needs to switch to the mid-dle position. Daan was definitely a professional ‘Honey tell me that you love me’ player as even Paul, who only needed to give his ‘look’ to make everyone burst out in laughter, couldn’t even get a smile out of him. There was a lot of romance in the room, the stares Ivo and Mark exchanged will make for some great memories.

Now lovely ECON is back at work, tackling the greatest problem of this moment. They are making great pro-cess, and I am sure their resolution will be just as fantas-tic as the process that took them there.

DE VERY BESTDEVE, the committee on development is currently working on the position the EU should have to support Africa’s efforts to achieve sustainable and equitable development in the light of China’s growing influence. But they decided to switch DEVE to DEVA, because if China comes to Africa, here is DEVA !! But DEVE in itself is nothing, the important thing is the team which is made up of 7 girls and 1 guy (he seems to be happy being surrounded by girls…)

More seriously, they have been doing a great job in two days, after a day of teambuilding and a morning of committee work, they now seem like a united team ready to solve all the problems. Super Hero team ? We will see that during GA. Nevertheless, the debates are really interesting and the confrontations productive. Indeed, there are some strong personalities such as Esther who manifests some sharp opinions, and this is EYP, “honest opinions in a concrete vision” as the president of the jury would say. But Esther is also a great fan of Mi-chael Jackson that’s how I go the chance to see a thriller choreography in the committee room, a memorable moment, especially for Joris, the only guy of the committee who was kind of lost during this interlude, which is not the case the rest of the time ! And when the discussion becomes heated, Lune is always here to calm things down and try to find a consensus and Tanja with her ineffable smile makes everybody smiles around her, this bring smooth into the committee. But Merwe and Zaida’s energy and the determination also contrib-ute a lot to the dynamism and the progress of the team. And when Iris and Nadine talk it’s so calm that when they are done the atmosphere is much more relax. I think all that diversity makes your team great and unique.

As a result, the atmosphere is pleasant, and from that emerge very interesting analysis and proposal. Many news ideas were suggested. But this is not only thanks to the atmosphere, the delegates were all very well prepare and could argue on concrete facts. For instance, they were able to point out the fundamental di-vergences between China and Europe. They proposed to extend the micro credits or strengthen the African Union, but they also address really touchy topics such as trading with rebels ?

Good luck for General Assembly and don’t forget to beat it !Lucie

SEDUCTIVEI met up with SEDE very early in the morning but Damien and Xander made sure that they started working immediately and there was no slack-ing at all. Straight down to business. Post-its, writing on the whiteboard and a lot of concentration. The typi-cal committee work atmosphere, and you can sense the high level of intelligence in the room. I will of-fer you a different perspective, that of the Greek mythological point of view. You would be amazed over the similarities between superstitious beings and delegates…

The team consists of seven mytho-logical people.

First up we have Fabian who is most similar to Poseidon. If we look at the committee as a sea, then Fabian is definitely one of the kings, if not the. He has also crossed the great Atlantic, from South America to Europe which is massive kudos, which also strengthens his position as Poseidon. Apparently, Fabian’s symbols are horses, sea form, dolphins and a trident. Quite accurate, I mean, who doesn’t like dolphins? Being mammals and all… Bringer of storms.

Teeny tiny girl. Lyla. She has a twin sister who looks just like her. There-fore, she is definitely Artemis, even though she has a twin brother. Be-ing the Goddess of hunt and wild

things, also the moon, I can imagine that Lyla spends a lot of time out-doors…

Duncan aka ‘frobro. If you see him, touch his hair. It’s brilliant. Everyone is green with envy. Simply put, Dun-can is Dionysus. Not just for the ob-vious choice of the letter ‘D’ but Dio-nysus is also the God of party. Upon getting the question about what ev-eryone likes to do, Duncan replied having fun. I hope he likes wine be-cause wine is Dionysus’ thing. Obvi-ous symbols are wine, ivy and thyr-sus. Also, Duncan didn’t really want to create an army of European sol-diers too much, so the party shout is very accurate. Make party, not war, you know.

Frans. Half yank, like myself. Kudos. Ares. God of War. Almost enough said. Frans wants an army of Euro-pean leprechauns to attack Russia. Less nice is that Frans is also the god of murder and bloodshed. Let’s hope not… Vultures, boars, dogs and a spear. Very nice…

Thomas. The surname might be suggestive of something: Rebel. If he is anything like his surname sug-gests then he is definitely Hermes. God of tricking people, in a rebel fashion. He likes to trick people and is very inventive, which I noticed when during different teambuild-ing games. Keep up the good work.

Winged boots wearing delegate.

Apart from the obvious reason of choosing Hestia for Floor, there is one thing that you all need to know. Floor is going to Rwanda next sum-mer. Africa. Who doesn’t want to go there? Because of this, I chose Hes-tia, even though she’s the Goddess of hearth and home. My thoughts were that for anyone to travel to Af-rica, you must have massive heart, even though heart and hearth are different things. R-e-s-p-e-c-t.Symbol? Hearth. Don’t forget, home is where the heart(h) is.

Jan Pieter was the last delegate to arrive for the SEDE committee but I still managed to decide upon a God for him. I manage to decide upon Zeus for him. Quite unfair you might think, being the God of the Gods but Jan Pieter offers insight in what he is saying. Every great leader needs great insight. Keep rockin’ with your eagle, thunderbolt, bull and oak.

As far as committee work is going, I’m very into the whole thing that they are working with and I’m very confident that the resolution will be amazing. Just you wait, take my word for it…

COMMITTEE

LIEBE IIFirst and foremost, It is a great pleasure for me to introduce all of you to the committee on LIBE II. As I entered into a trust game dur-ing teambuilding, It has came to my notice that this committee was already feeling very comfortable playing games together. Actu-ally, the following game was even more sur-prising, I have never seen people playing the Angel and Devil game that sort of ends up in a human knot. Furthermore, this commit-tee came up with strategies while it was not even necessary and they even tend to run away, but in the end they are laughing all the time and they seem careless and happy.

This committee deals with human traffick-ing and modern slavery, which actually is a heavy topic because it can stimulate moral based debates. The words hope and ideal-ism are often mentioned but In the end, the committee has found a balance between a pragmatism and idealism, something that is definitely required to write a good resolu-tion. Even though the committee had little time for problem solving games, the com-mittee work was excellent. They have very fruitful discussions and it does not seem to bother team that they are speaking together at the same time sometimes.Overall, they were working on schedule and the chairs provided for a very well struc-tured day. It was wonderful being allowed to attend the discussions. The committee really appreciated the way they were guided through committee work by the chairs which they mentioned spontaneously during com-mittee work.

Flora

THE WALL OF HONOURRobin armed herself with a large amount of information and defi-nitely put a lot of effort in her preparation.

Jasmijn made an excellent point which was newly introduced and supported by the committee.

At some moment Camillo seemed to feel al little excluded from the group while debating about the topic and therefore decided to remove some tables in order to create a closer circle. Very smart. Brilliant member of the team.

Bas is an excellent listener and sometimes refers to points which changes the debate the group was having. Made his point by say-ing ‘one minute’, just randomly while everybody was working in silence.

Zahra, very positive during the debates and an excellent listener. Lisa, excellent member of the team, awesome benefit to the team during teambuilding.

Matthias, very idealistic, and I quote ‘maybe I am a dreamer’, very positive expression and very professional. ‘I’m just happy the mo-ment’, shows me that he loves the work he is doing. He even tends to lead a discussion in a very positive way.

AFECTIONThe committee on movie-knowledge affairs, AFET.The first encounter that your reporter had with this committee was Friday afternoon in ‘de Balie’. AFET was introduced to the famous EYP song ‘the big fat pony’. Ruben, Begüm, Estrella, Berber, Sophie, Ilse L, Luca, Eva, Ilse J and the only guy in the committee, Tom were run-ning around in circles going ‘back to back’ and ‘side to side’. After this brief introduction to EYP, the competi-tion part of the session started. Another committee (DEVE) was challenged to face AFET in an epic battle of ‘hints’ (theme: movies). The games began, after hav-ing guessed 11 movies, the score was 5-6 in favour of DEVE. A delegate of the Development committee was asked to step up and portray a movie. Something with shooting? No? Two words. Someone says “Once upon a time in the West?”, “No, wait, … that can’t be right!?”. Tom gets the clue, opens his mouth and shouts with-out hesitation: ”PULP FICTION!!!!” AFET is super excited, 6-6! Tom gets at least a thousand high-fives of his com-mittee. ”Teamwork!” Now for the winning point, some-one from AFET steps forward. Again there is shooting involved. Riding a horse? The AFET-delegate makes an Indian sound (whaowhaowhao – red.). The entire For-eign Affairs committee shouts out: ”INDIANA JONES!!!” We have a winner! 6-7 in favour of AFET.

The next morning, our heroes in guessing movies start off with Committee Work. The topic is the instability in Eastern Europe. Should the EU change it’s strategy and if so, how would that be done without hurting the rela-tions with Russia? This surely isn’t an easy issue but the

delegates are motivated to find a solution. The commit-tee starts off with brainstorming. They write anything related to the topic down on a post-it. The discussion starts. Eva mentions the election of the new Russian president Medvedev. Berber adds: ”Yeah that’s true! Pu-tin uses him so he can still pull the strings in Russia”. Ilse J wonders if Russia is a real democracy. ”Is Putin a dicta-tor?”. With that question in mind the movie stars run off to take coffee break.A few moments later they start off again. Sophie is com-pletely focussed and asks the other members of the committee “Ok, maar jongens hoe pakken we dit aan?” Estrella reminds her: ”In English!!” Sophie laughs. All the other people in AFET comfort her: ”Never mind, you were completely focussed on the topic!”. Luca grabs a post-it on human rights. ”What do we know about hu-man rights in Eastern Europe?” she asks. Ilse L thinks about it for a moment and answers: ”Russia still has great influence on Eastern Europe. If the human rights issues aren’t solved there, the situation in Eastern Eu-rope might get worse.”Lunch break is getting close, the delegates are writing down what they agreed upon. Complete silence can be noticed in the room. Completely out of the blue, some-one asks: ”What if I would not agree on our entire reso-lution?”, Begüm answers: ”Well, you could write an at-tack speech”. The whole committee is amazed. ”No, we are a good committee!”. Everybody agrees and stands up. GOOOOOOOooooooo-AFET!!!

LIBERTY I

I first met the wonderful committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs One on the Max Euwenplein, astonishingly close to the Irish pub, right under the ‘Guinness’-sign. I couldn’t help but wonder whether this had anything to do with the chairs... The two Stefans, who are the lovely an handsome chairpersons of this even lovelier committee, were smiling, their arms waving up and down. They were playing a trust game, together with the committee on civil liberties two. One delegate after the other ran into the row of waving arms and stopped just before falling into the canal.After each and everyone of them had risked his life for the sake of the committee’s trust, Stefan and Stefan decided to show their softer and sweeter side. They took Barteld, Gabriella, Elizabeth, Roxanne, Sander, Len, Terrence and Afke to a quieter piece of the square to play the ‘I like’ game. I can tell you this: a whole lot of group hugs were going on there! Pizza, pink, dancing, sleeping, cherry pies, champagne, Amster-dam, LIBE 1 loved all of it! After this loving, hugging game, the Stefans couldn’t control themselves anymore and we shook the square up by playing a very loud LIBE 1 & 2 game of Street Fighter. Later on, back

in the Barlaeus’ gym, the committee came to it’s first consensus. It happened during the Plane Wreck game. Every member agreed on the idea of keeping the Russian Vodka, because ‘If we’ll die, at least we’ll do so happily and drunk’. During committeework today it became clear the lost voices and embarrassing dances weren’t as useless as they might have seemed before. The committee on LIBE 1 started right away. At first maybe a bit too enthusiastic, all chattering at the same time and randomly shouting ideas, LIBE 1 later turned out to be a smart, creative and open minded bunch of delegates. Everyone seemed comfortable talking and explaining ideas. The balance was perfect: on the one hand, everyone came up with brilliant and prestigious answers to the extremely difficult question ‘From the ‘return’ directive to the Cannes agreement on a European immigration and asylum pact: how can the EU achieve the establishment of a common policy on these issues in consultation with all its stakeholders and without jeop-ardizing its founding values?’, on the other hand there was time for fun and jokes. To give you an impression of a typical LIBE 1-discussion: Terrence asks a confronting and critical question, Barteld , the fact-man, explains, Elizabeth explains even more, wants to get to the bottom of the subject, then someone discovers a funny word, like asylum (Yes, it IS funny. Asailum, asilum, assiloom etc.) and everybody’s cracking up. Afke is the one who gets everyone’s attention back to the subject and brings structure into the discussion. The debate continues. Roxanne makes everyone watch a problem from different perspectives and if she didn’t cover a side, Sander’s always there to help her out. Gabriella is very positive in the debates and is aiming for the very best. Last but certainly not least there is Len, who is listen-ing very carefully to everything said and is always willing to help other people explaining their thoughts in a sweet, non-pushy way. Yes, LIBE 1 is a wonderful committee. It’s members have worked very hard to come to consensus and write a brilliant resolution, all under the guidance of Stefan and Stefan.

INTERESTING

The 7 girly gossip guys of ITRE and their single (?) lady.

ITRE, the committee on Industry, Research and Energy is assigned to the issues of energy in a modern world. Is Nuclear energy the safest of all options? A very serious and important question to answer. The committee con-sists of 7 guys and 1 lovely lady.

During Eurovillage, Laurens, a member of ITRE, walks up to me with some delicious pannacotta. “Want some?“, he asks. Of course I do Laurens! While enjoying my meal he asks (rather tells) me with his slightly hypnotic voice: “When I do this with my fingers, you will come to realise that there are no bad facts/rumours to tell about me in the newspaper. “ “Yes master. I will do as you say master“, is my answer.

The next morning, slightly dull and not remembering what happened the night before, I walk into ITRE’s room. The first thing I notice is something written on the white-board. On the very top of the whiteboard are the words “Good sex is good“. Totally amazed by the simplicity of it all I came to realise that the committee was absolutely right. Good sex can’t be bad, right? Brilliant. But what’s the story behind these 4 words? Perhaps there is some-thing that happened during teambuilding that I didn’t hear or see? Any additional information on this matter is requested to be brought to any member of the press team A.S.A.P.After a few moments I sat down, slightly knocked for

six but started to focus on the discussion that the guys and girl were having. I heard something vague about nuclear waste. Erik: “…just dump it in to the sea! “ All the guys giggle. Esther sighs and goes on with the discus-sion. She tries to make things a little more serious. “If we want to convince people of our arguments we will have to spice up the public opinion“ (direct quote – red.). Be-ing an experienced and respected journalist I ask my-self, is there a deeper, let’s say, poetic meaning in this, Esther? A link with the phrase on the whiteboard? My thoughts wonder off… Climate change … global warm-ing … nuclear power… I notice the committee begins a heavy discussion. Ruben tells everyone to calm down and reminds the rest of the committee what the prob-lem is. “We need to find a GOOD way to get energy“. Rien agrees; “that’s a strong point“ he says. The longer I listen to this committee the more I am convinced of their brilliance. I hear Joris dreaming out loud about writing an attack speech. “When should we write the at-tack speech?“ he asks. Boaz tells Joris: “Before the topic is discussed in GA! “. Bert laughs “Hihihi!“. The discussion on continues, where could terrorists get nuclear waste? Ruben has a theory. “I don’t think terrorists would get the nuclear waste from European concrete-enforced bunkers, 12 feet under the ground. They would rather go to North Korea and go to a shopping mall, where it is available for just a few euro’s per kilo. “ Esther, good luck with your lovely bunch of girly gossip guys. Hang on there girl!
