BULLETIN
The Tennis Ball committee has
really started the ball rolling for
the first all-campus outdoor dance
to be held from 9 p.m. to midnight
Friday on the Palmer Field Tennis
Courts.
Early this morning somewhere
in the vicinity of "out Washtenaw"
the gigantic white "Ball" will be-
gin its trek across campus as a
symbol for mercy from the rain-
gods, according to Jerry Mehlman,
publicity chairman.
THE DANCE atmosphere will
)e strictly informal and cool cot-
tons should be "just right for
Tennis Ball night" declares gen-
eral co-chairman, Rosemarie
Schoetz.
j order to give nature that
d touch, and for the sake
of practicality, a large dash of
perfume will be added to the
DDT which will be sprayed over
the courts.
THE TENNIS BALL Float, in-
vented and prepared by M Club
men, will be the main refresh-
ment attraction. The M Clubbers
will serve .their concoction over
checkered tables under Japanese
lanterns in the "park" at the
dance.
More floats may also be in store,
according to Mehlman, who has
hinted that the gang behind T-
Ball are apt to create quite a
racket on State Street about 1
p.m. today.
A bugle has sounded for vol-
unteers to work on the decora-
tions committee of Tennis Ball.
According to Bill Pe' rson,
decorations chairman, st lents
are needed every afternoi t this
week to help decorate and
should report for duty at the
Women's Athletic Building.
By JO MISNER
B. J. Barnes, '43, has been ac-
cured of "adding a woman's touch"
to the new UN buildings, but the
University alumna eclaims other-
wise.
"I'm not here to add a woman's
touch. I'me here to do a man's
job," Miss Barnes says about her
work on the designing staff of the
UN Buildings in New York City.
* *
A GRADUATE of the Univer-
sity architectural school, Miss
Barnes holds forth alone among
the 15 men employed on the de-
signing staff. The planning office
overlooks a "good-sized mudhole"
which will one day hold the World
Headquarters of the United Na-
tions.
The young architect has a
healthy enthusiasm for her
work, but most of the people
she meets squelch a little of her
interest.
Typical query from people who
hear she's a UN architect is "Do
you think we're ever going to have
a United Nations?"
THOUGH SHE'S not one to
make speeches on world affairs,
Miss Barnes does feel that too'
many people are pessimistic about
the UN's future.
"I hope everyone doesn't feel
like the cab drivers who bring
me to the office in the mornings.
They're pretty dismal about the
future."
The United Nations seems like
a very real and growing thing to
Miss Barnes and her fellow archi-
tects, who work at their drawing
boards to the tune of pile drivers
and steam shovels.

UN PLANNER-Belva Jane Barnes has been the only woman
employed on the designing staff for the United Nations Buildings
since the staff came into being in 1946. The 27-year old University
graduate is shown above at her drawing board overlooking the
site of the new UN permanent headquarters in New York City.

terior details such as stairs, hand-

worked on almost all parts of the
project at one time or another.
"The first steel has just been
erected, so we're really working
hard to keep ahead of the con-
struction crew," she explained.
A native of Plymouth, Mich.,
Miss Barnes has considered New
York her home since she first
went job-hunting there after her
graduation from the University in
1943.

IN FACT, she could only stick
it out in Paris six months when
members of the Headquarters
Planning Commission, the French
architect Le Corbusier and engi-
neer Vladimir Bodiansky took her
Ed I'
I $POEC/4t OPP&VR
TO THE GRADUATING CLASS...JUNE '49
on last spring as an assistant to
work on French reconstruction.
"Paris is probably the most
beautiful city in the world," she
admitted. But despite attrac-
tions like breakfast in bed every
day, two hours for lunch and
champagne for dinner, she
"spent most of the time being
homesick for New York."
In the designing room Miss
Barnes is very liable to don a
man's blue denim shirt over her
white blouse. Not because she
wants to appear mannish and bus-
inesslike-but just to keep clean.
And the fact that she's known
by her initials-B.J.--isn't an at-
tempt to conceal her identity as
a woman from UN officials. She
says she's just never cared much
for her real name-Belva Jane.
