Low resolution spectra from 1200 to 3300Å have been obtained, with the IUE satellite, for seven blue giants and supergiants in the young, metal-poor globular cluster NGC 330 in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). A further three spectra from the IUE archive have been added to the sample, covering a range of 2.5 mag. The effective temperatures and the local reddening in the SMC have been estimated, and the star positions in the theoretical HR diagram determined, and compared with theoretical predictions for massive star evolution. Substantial discrepancies have been found.
