Vi trovos aparte bonan artik-
olon ĉi-numere, tiun de Thomas
Gray pri kiel fondi lokan klubon.
Espereble ĝi instigos vin agadi,
se vi ankoraŭ ne faras ion...
En sia artikolo Thomas men-
ciis, kie oni vokis (baptnomis,
eble?) lin "Esperanto-Knabo" ĉe
lia lernejo. Mia nomo ĉe mia
gimnazio estas nur iom pli bona-
"Esperanto-Viro", kiu havas ka-
pablon superi (lingvajn) barojn
pernurunusalto!
Jes ja, la ridoj kaj la mokoj es-
tas sufiĉe timigajjSed kion fari?
Jen du personaj konsiloj: plej
grave, kontaktu aliajn, aparte ti-
ujn junulojn de via propra re-
giono! Ju pli da kontaktoj, des
pli da memfido vi gajnos.
Kaj memoru ĉi tiun
diraĵon:"Se ĉiuj diras ke vi estas
malĝusta, vi estas unu paŝo antaŭ
ili. Se ĉiuj ridas je vi, vi estas du
paŝoj antaŭ ili."
Se vi jam laboras/is por Espe-
ranto, vi devus esti mejloj antaŭ
la cetera mondo....

USEJ-estrarano Thomas Gray de
Houston, Teksaso, donas kelkajn
konsilojn pri liaj spertoj kiam li
prizorgis lokan grupon ĉe Ha
gimnazio. Sendu al ni ankaŭ
viajn konsilojn kaj ideojnl
After I became interested in Es-
peranto in the spring of 1989, I
decided to share my new discov-
ery with the rest of the student
body at my high school, the High
School for the Performing and
Visual Arts (Houston's locally fa-
mous fine arts-oriented high
school) and began my own Espe-
ranto group called the Klubo Es-
peranto HSPVA.
My group lasted for two years
and during its lifetime the club
met with limited success. How-
ever, if nothing else, the group's
mere existence at least made the
students aware of Esperanto.
Even if few actually learned the
language, people discovered what
it was and why it was necessary.
The following are some of the
tips for getting an Esperanto club
started:
If your school requires a faculty
sponsor, your best choice would
be a foreign language teacher. He
or she will probably not only
show the most interest in your en-
deavor, but as well may be will-
ing to provide you with the
assistance on how to promote or
even teach Esperanto.
If you attend a college or uni-
versity, you may have to officially
register with your school's student
activities program. Groups that
wish to put up flyers or posters
around campus alerting students
about their meetings or other
events must also get their flyers
and posters approved at this of-
fice. Check with your student ac-
tivities program to see what its
requirements are.
S9» Put up flyers and posters
around your school advertising
your group. In addition to
announcing the meeting time
and place, you should describe
what Esperanto is and what its
purpose are; graphics and
color do help.
*&• Think of what purpose you
want your group to
accomplish: Do you wish to
increase student knowledge
about Esperanto, teach it to
students, form a conversation
and discussion groups, or do
all three?
s> Be prepared for every
meeting, and have an activity
or lesson planned in advance.
Make it interesting and fun so
that people will keep coming
back to your meetings.
'&* If you plan on teaching
Esperanto, make sure you
know at least the grammar and
crude vocabulary of words and
important prefixes and
suffixes. It's not as easy 0 as
you might think to teach
yourself Esperanto at the exact
same time you're teaching it to
others.
*&• Don't expect too many people
to show up. This is, after all, a
language and not something
most students would consider
"fun".
s> Hold your meetings in the
same place, at the same time,
on the same day, every week.
Also, it probably isn't a good
idea to hold meetings more
than once a week.
^» Although you probably won't
be criticized outright by your
peers, expect your fellow
students to use it to poke fun at
you. Once I began the Klubo
Esperanto, my classmates
began calling me "Esperanto
Boy" and teasing me about the
language. I didn't mind,
however, as it was all in good
fun. In fact, my popularity at
school probably increased as a
result of this added attention.
If you do have the time to do so,
go ahead and start a group! It is
somewhat time-consuming, yes,
but you have nothing to lose. Be-
sides, even if not very many peo-
ple to show up, you will at least,
through your posters and flyers,
make you schoolmates aware that
Esperanto exists. And that, at this
stage of the game, is most impor-
tant. Bonan ŝancon!                 Of

Norman Fleury kaj aliaj organizan-
toj de la jam fama Aŭtuna Renkon-
tiĝo Esperantista preparos por la dua
fojo. ĉi foje, Hi kalklos ankaŭ je la
ĉeestado de kelkaj usonaj junuloj.
After the resounding success of the
1st Aŭtuna Renkontiĝo Esperantista
last October which united nearly 60
Esperantists from Canada and the
United States, a second time around is
natural.
This year's ARE is taking place
once again at the Okemo Ski Resort
in Ludlow, Vermont, the weekend of
October 7-9. Esperantists from both
Canada and the United States are ex-
pected to gather in Ludlow, although
guests from overseas may show up as
well.
Organizer Normand Fleury is espe-
cially looking for more participation
among young people. Hopefully,
USEJ members can manage to attend
since members of KEJO, the Quebec
regional young Esperantists' organiza-
tion, will probably be there as well.
Fleury mentioned the possibility of
reserving rooms at a local motel or
youth hostel for those who prefer not
to stay at the ski lodge.
Being the most international Espe-
ranto conference available in the
Northeast, ARE is definitely worth
tending.                                     ft

A good place to start is the Es-

many basic questions about Es-
peranto and resources on the
Net. It is often available, along
with the Flavaj Paĝoj, a listing of
subscribing to the mailing list
(they send you e-mail with the
posted messages) by sending an
e-mail  message  with  the  text
'subscribe' to
esperanto-I-request@netcom.com
If you are looking to contact
other esperantists around the
world one-on-one, then you can
get their e-mail addresses from
the La Esperanta Retadresaro, a
voluntary listing of Esperantists
on the'net. You can list your ad-
Esperanto services on the net, in
soc.culture.esperanto    and    can
also be retrievable from

The primary newsgroup for
Esperanto on the 'net is the
soc.culture.esperanto is the pri-
mary newsgroup for Esperantists
and Esperanto. If you don't
have USENET newsgroup ac-
cess you can still join in by
dress there as well by sending

You can also join a penpal serv-

And there is 'live chat' the   "In-
ternet Relay Chat" ("IRC") at
Kanalo #esperanto:
Tuesday, 10 -12 noon,

There are many FTP sites and
WWW (TTT) pages where you

Kvankam Modelaj Unuĝintaj
Naciaj programoj okazas ĉijare en
miloj da lernejoj tra Usono, aparta
rimarkinda Modela UNO estas pla-
nata nun por la 80a UK en Tam-
pere — Modela UNO tute en
Esperanto. Tamen, dependas je la
monda junularo mem, ĉu tia entuz-
iasma projekto povas sukcesu
One especially unique celebration
among the hundreds of different
events marking the 50th anniversary
of United Nations this year will be
an international Model UN — in
Esperanto.
The event, under planning for
nearly two years, will take place
during the 80th UK in Tampere, Fin-
land. In this Model UN, young dele-
gates from around the globe will
gather to debate in Esperanto the
problems and dilemmas facing
minorities.
The organizers Geoffrey Greatrex
and Mark Fettes, however admitted
the Esperanto community has not
been as helpful as they expected in
providing delegates. Delegates from
countries such as Costa Rica, Den-
mark, Romania and Belerus have ex-
pressed interest, but missing are
nations such as Norway, Belgium,
Austria. . . nations important in UN
affairs and with fairly strong young
Esperantist movements.
Fortunately, several USEJ
members have asked for more infor-
mation about the Model UN; the fi-
nal team will be selected this
summer. So, currently, it appears
that an American delegation will be
present in Tampere.
During the day-long assembly, the
American delegates will join with
other representatives to discuss the
minority situation throughout the
globe in United Nations format.
While the main goal of this initiative
is to allow young people to use Es-
peranto for something constructive
which surpasses pen pals and con-
ferences, another hope is to demon-
strate to the journalists and other
media present that Esperanto should
be used at such international events.
. . and at the United Nations itself,
understandably.
Even if you're not in Tampere, you
can still mention Esperanto at any
Model UN meetings you attend on
this side of the Atlantic. Oddly
enough, someone nearly always
brings up a proposal on ways to
solve the UN language problem, not
realizing that a solution has been
around for more than a century.. .ik
More information on the Model
UN and its progress is available
from the Central Office of USEJ.
