Hear Billy Graham, Brooks Hays and Harold Stassen The Diamond Jubilee Convocation and Homecoming, combined to give alumni and friends of the University an opportunity to help plan for the Stetson of the Space Age, will be observed Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, November 14, 15, and 16, 1958. With such internationally-known speakers as Billy Graham, Harold Stassen, and Brooks Hays, the Convocation and Homecoming program is expected to attract to the campus the largest crowd in the history of Florida's oldest university. The Convocation theme is "Changeless Values in a Changing Age." It will come in for discussion at meetings of educators, churchmen, alumni, and friends of Stetson. On every hand there will be evidence of many accomplishments of the University since it was founded in 1883. There also will be opportunity offered for everyone to have a part in planning for the future. Acceptances by Billy Graham, Harold Stassen and Brooks Hays to speak assured the Convocation Steering Committee of a capacity crowd, probably the largest ever to attend an event in DeLand. Under the capable direction of Earl W. Brown, convocation chairman, and the steering committee composed of the various committee chairmen, Convocation planning has been assumed largely by DeLand residents. Chairman Brown is being assisted by J. Phil Wahle, program chairman; Uriel Blount, Jr., John R. Godbee, and Walter E. Smith, Jr., attendance co-chairmen; B. Fred Grantham and James P. West, arrangements co-chairmen; Mrs. Arthur Lane and Mrs. Hugh West, women's organization co-chairmen; Harry C. Garwood, churchmen citation committee; J.
