Y1 1949 IE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGS Outdoor Dancers To. Seek Fciir Sky Tennis Ball to Score with Special Floats, PerfumedDDT, Review of Top Talent i r University Alumna Displays Architect urltI Talents As Only Feminine Designer of New UN IBui1digs DAILY OFFICIAL 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. * * * .- NOW SHE'S WORKING on in- Senior Ball Tickets The central committee for Senior Ball has announced that engineering students may use stub B on their activities cards toward the purchase of tickets for the dance. -Those who have already bought tickets can receive a rebate by turning in their stub.

"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.
