Helsel Leads Forum Topic Tomorrow
Internationalism To Be Topic At Philosophy Meet
A parallel study of “Nationalism and Internationalism” will be the topic of Dr. Paul R. Helsel in his talk before the Philosophy forum tomorrow, 4:15 p.m., in Bowne hall.
“I will try to compare the backgrounds, rights, and outcome of the two,” said Dr. Helsel.
The background of nationalism dates to the time immediately following feudalism when a new social order came,” remarked Dr. Helsel. ‘‘This changed the whole life of the people in both trade and commerce. It was during this time that the church lost out in its control and certain kings gained more and more prestige.
NEW ORDER ( AME
“Nationalism in that era. however. was not the same as in the present day. The word represented a foreign race. There was no patriotism meaning connected with the idea as there is now.”
According to the Oxford dictionary, the word, nationalism, was first used in the English language in 1300. The Treaty of Westphalia was the real basis for that type of government.
“I will treat the subject of internationalism from the view of the people.” said Dr. Helsel, "not from the government standpoint. This is totally different from the meaning given by Jeremy Bentham, who coined the word in 1780.
WAR HELD UNNECESSARY
“Why can't sentiment be developed in internationalism so that the people can see the welfare in their present sovereignty and place it in one big state of all the nations.
"People have become discontent with the slow progress of internationalism. said the philosophy instructor. but they don’t realize that it has taken 640 years for nat: f alism to really come to the fore. The word internationalism itself has only been in use for 150 years. It is still very young. Give it about 500 more and the idea will be the predominating one ”

The film photographed almost entirely on location, is adapted from the book by the same name by Kenneth L. Roberts.
Appearing on the broadcast with Mrs. Carter will be Elizabeth Nichols and Herman Smith.
Among books suggested by Mrs. Carter for background reading for the film are “Cold Journey” by G. Z. Stone, “Drums” by James Boyd, “Drums Along the Mohawk'' by Walter Edmonds, and “Listen for a Lonesome Drum’’ by Carl Carmer.

Book Sale Expose Reveals Cram' Popularity
The “get smart quick” plan meets j with great favor at SC. according to Ancil G. Aldrich, manager of the textbook department at the university bookstore, who speaks from 16 years cf experience as chief bookman here.
‘‘Business booms about two weeks before finals," he said, intimating that books may find their way to eleventh hour “cram” sessions. Thrifty students try to rent textbooks. or finding that impossible, buy compact outline series.
“College outline reviews sell ten times as many copies in the last two weks of the semester than during the rest of the year put together,” Aldrich reported.	i
During the rush for textbooks at the beginning of each semester, the bookstore mushrooms into the patio to accommodate crowds and the sale ranges from 1 to 1000 copies for each of the 400 titles carried by the store.
Dr. Emory S. Bogardus. head of the sociology department, leads the list of SC professors who have written texts, with seven titles under his name currently on the shelves.
Contrary7 to a bromide complaint of tsudents. Aldrich asserted, ‘There is no such thing as a textbook ‘racket’ at SC.” The average life of a textbook is four years, and frequent changes by instructors do not
make book sales more profitable for the ?rore.
Used books bring greater profit than new books and price has no correlation with size, he said. Book prices are determined by the number of copies ordered from the publisher.
Students who come to the bookstore to get copies of the Daily Trojan seldom stop to buy books. Aldrich said.
"They usually pass right through, nose buried in the latest.” He reported, however, that since Walt Disney put his famed puppet on celluloid, sale of pocket sized copies of “Pinnoehio” has increased.

Believing that the ugliness of modern cities is the result of random. unplanned expansion, Jan J. Reiner, noted architect, will give an illustrated lecture. “From Pyramid to Skyscraper” in May Ormerod Harris hall at. 8 o’clock this evening.
According to Reiner, most cities are merely an aggregation of buildings designed individually without reference to a unifying plan of any kind. Even if the buildings themselves possess a certain amount of beauty, he believes, the total impression is far from pleasing aesthetically.
For the city of the future Reiner would start with a plan first, build his city around it. Buildings would be streamlined, simple in lines, and not too close together. He does not believe in artificial landscape. He would fit his city to the preexisting surroundings and change the land as little as possible.
Convinced that architecture reflects the psychology of the people, Reiner has built up a philosophy about it. The basic thing is that man does not change intrinically. he merely changes his environment.
Reiner's appearance here will be open to the public, and will be his first in Lo6 Angeles. Students of architecture are especially urged to attend by Prof. Arthur C. Weatherhead. dean of the College of Architecture and Fine Arts.
