Barnard Bulletin a semi weekly college publication by Barnard College students with Ruth Raup Rita Dresner as editors and a large staff list including Marilyn Mittelman Mary Wilson Ruth Maier and Ruth Lyons. The notice lists several editors staffers and business roles for the 1928 29 academic year.
The BULLETIN dedicates an issue to the United Nations during United Nations Week as 5000 delegates and officials meet in New York for the General Assembly. Barnard students have five to six weeks to attend meetings and connect theory with world affairs.
The General Assembly’s second part of its first session will be led by Paul Henri Spaak. Topics from London’s first meeting and other UN organs include Iran and Franco Spain issues, control of atomic energy, veto power of five permanent Security Council members, foreign troops in non-enemy nations, and membership votes for Afghanistan Iceland and Sweden. Also on the agenda are UN Headquarters relocation 1946-47 budget, refugee settlement, trusteeship of non self governing territories, and duties taken from the League of Nations.
Jane Weidlund former Bulletin business manager works as secretary to William Agar head of the UN Speakers Section at Lake Success. She plans a post assembly speakers clinic with Americans United and ASUN, plus a manual on UN agencies. She recalls a prized UN pass allowing access to delegates lounge and press bar.
The article contrasts the United Nations with the prewar League of Nations noting how the UN adopts proven procedures while avoiding major flaws. It highlights the Security Council veto, the strengthened World Court, Trusteeship Council powers, and the new Economic and Social Council, framing the UN as a stronger, more inclusive successor.

It explains reservations with Mr Walsh, 250 public seats per session, and travel options via LIRR from Penn Station, Grand Central Parkway Extension access, and Flushing Line at Willets Point Boulevard.
