DeLand, ?center, ,is shown viewing deafly pictures of the Stetson Uni- "~ campus with his son Allen, and daughter- ' in^aw/yfean of Naples. y DeLand ;"With the exception of modernization, the town is as I remember it," a relative of DeLand's founder- said-' Friday during an interview at Stetson' University. Robert W. DeLand, 83-year-old businessman of Alhambra, Calif., and second"'cousin to Henry De- Land, was visiting the city for the first time since 1892. • DeLand and his wife drove. 3,- 000 miles. from. their California home to' visit their son, Allen in Naples and to see " the - city his .,cousin had founded. " ' - ' - CAME IN 1887 - DeLand's first visit here"1 was. in 1887 when he stayed in -his. cousin's hotel, the Parsland. He rode & bicycle through the dirt'streets -,i' ■ of-DeLand and became quite familiar .with the city. ' . , . s . Although he couldn't identify the newspaper, he 'recalled -pass-' ing .its office-, on -Woodland'Boulevard and pausing, to watch the linotype machine in the -window.' He said, that this was a-?regular Saturday afternoon practice, but he often had trouble seeing over the larger boys' , shoulders who also were watching. : "Daytona was' not - the ' big attraction then,"-DeLand said. "We always went to New, Smyrna. The road was better, and, it was a shorter trip." '"...- j "DeLeon Springs was the place that .Cousin . Henry took most of his guests, and I remeriiber going there many times," DeLand said. During the period he spent in DeLand, the primary means of reaching the city.or going'-to another, city_was the.St. Johns River. There was rail - service and "tally- ho" wagon.service,' but the river was used more frequently. - WAR OVER 20 YEARS , "Even though it had been oyer for 20 years, the Civil War was very much alive in DeLand," he said.. "I remember one, year I spent' in school here when my teacher told me to use the book i had used up North; But when I got to the Civil War, I didn't even know it was the same war 1" "You know, Cousin Henry, was not the only DeLand who' founded (See DELAND on Page- 4) $9,605 Gift The Associates and Century Club Committee for Stetson University, headed by Austin U.

In making the announcement, Mrs. Lane said, "All of us on the Committee are'encouraged by the results" so" far. -.We have" another luncheon meeting scheduled for next week, and I know that additional members will have joined with us by that time: Stetson means a great deal to this community—economically, spiritually, and -culturally: This program is but one way that many of lis 'can say 'thank you' to Stetson for all that it means to us." The Stetson Associates program is unique in' .that members, all non-alumni, give Stetson $100 or rnore on their'-, own birthdays.

"Study Space Legal Aspects Now," Haley > • The . legal problems of man in space must be worked out now, and today's law schools must take" time to consider these problems in. order to clarify the inelange bf conjecture now current. So says Andrew G. Haley, general counsel:" of the International .Astronautical. Federation, writing in the Spring issue of the Stetson- Letter, quarterly publication of Stetson University. The cataract of literature on outer space, Haley says, has disregarded, legal .principles in favor of an overwhelming wash of politcal speculation and pseudoscientific folklore. ' . ....-- RELAY STATION Fundamental problems, according, to Haley, include consideration of the utility and benefits of space exploration, , of. an - international . program for space relay "stations, and solution of problems "of worldwide, communications to and from objects ,in space and from space vehicle to space vehicle. Attention shouldbe given to formulating a "doctrine of consent" for the orbiting of objects above earth surfaces, and to the "policing" of outer, space through use of radio?- ' Haley. asserts that rocket arti- - facts which have , accomplished their missions should be removed from outer space so as not to be a perpetual hazard. There must be ' consideration of space medical jurisrpudence, and of liability for damages to the injured and protection of human rights in outer space. i . The basic constitutions of all nations must'be examined to determine whether changes must be made to clear the way-for treaties and laws regarding ' outer space, according to Haley. • PROBLEMS - Annoying problems arise from the lack of knowledge of many. lawyers on basic data - such as Newton's third law of,.motion,.the operational .characteristics of rockets and ramjets, and the use of air for assisted take-off -and to\ decelerate ' on landing, a Lawyers are unable to? classify the different types of - rockets' and, powerplants. Out of such clouded thinking, lawyers come up with conclusions that are baffling because there is no logical basis upon- which' to frame comirients, Haley declares: - Haley says he is turning over a series of space questions - to the faculty and students of the Stetson College of-Law in St. Petersburg" for them to seek answers.'
