ITRE Edition Discussing energy supply with the mutant menagerie. Rumors about the mutants that com- prised this Nuclear Power Committee had spread like the hazardous waste they would be aiming to deal with, and so it was with no small dose o trepi- dation that I entered the IRE Com- mittee Room or the rst time. How- ever, I quickly scanned the Committee members, counting their limbs until I was reassured. Perhaps the mutation is more spiritual with IRE, as each member has (thankully, not physi- cally) identied themselves with an animal. I present the IRE Zoo, com- plete with a musical zebra, a couple o cows – o the Heavy Rocking Finnish and Arabic Speaking French breeds, – a hat-loving elephant, a canine CMX an, and, though they may have seemed erce at rst, what turned out to be two rather cuddly bears. All this under the able leadership o a French-Chinese koala and grinning gorilla, and the camera lens o this shutter-happy Irish elephant. Te rst major crisis this menagerie en- countered was the session’s slight short- age o toilet paper, but I think every member managed to get enough and we even ound out quite a bit about one another in the process. A little magical levitation later , the trust and ellowship o our odd little zoo could be seen and elt. Te riendly open conversation was a delight to see, shared by these only newly brought together exotic crea- tures. Te same went or the tight knot o body parts they then ormed and promptly solved. IRE took another animalistic turn with most o the Com- mittee taking on the persona o blind sheep, with one o our riendly bears to be their shepherd guide. It brought a smile to this Journalists’ ace to see the lost sheep o the IRE herd brought back together again. Te Abigail ale proved the Commit- tee’s ability to switch smoothly to a more serious task. I was truly impressed with how well IRE got down to some serious, deep and thoughtul discussion. I watched them careully consider each aspect o the story as well as the views o each Committee member , and engage in a rewarding and open debate. I was also pleased to see they learned rom the ew diculties previously en- countered. Tis game marked a true point o development or the Commit- tee and already I was looking orward to how they would manage in Com- mittee Work. Tis bonding, I believe, is also what ueled IRE to an impressive deeat o FEMM in the Coin Game, with this Committee having absolutely no issues getting up close and personal with each other or the honour o the Committee. And then again, just or un, in a really enjoyable game o Kama sutra, beore impressing me once again with their smooth transition to the serious Plane-Crash Game. Once again, the Committee showed how well they work together in discussion. eam- building nished of with the Com- mittee showing their trust in and afec- tion or each other in a rather touching game o Double Drunken Bottle. As I type this, the Committee sits discussing their topic and I can clearly see the ruits o IRE’s eforts in the Abi- gail game and all o teambuilding in the involved, respectul, co-operative and productive discussion. A great many solutions to this dicult issue have already been proposed, and I am really hoping, in particular, that your ideas or getting rid o the Nuclear Waste (“Just dump it in Sweden,”) and solv- ing the aesthetic issues o wind-turbines (“Make them like artistic statues,” “Or invisible!”) do nd their way to the nal drat o the resolution. Well done, IRE, on a really good day o Committee Work. You can really be proud o what you have achieved, and I wish your Committee the best o luck tomorrow in General Assembly.
