| Summary: | Dr. Jose Serrato, an orthopedic surgeon from Columbus, Georgia spoke at 8:15 am on Friday, February 18, 1966 as part of ACOIA 1966. He spoke on the topic of viewing communist subversion from the perspective of biology and medicine. The lecture was part of the three-day Auburn Conference on International Affairs (ACOIA) in which speakers discussed the theme of "Subversion in the Sixties." ACOIA was a regional conference, originally sponsored by the Auburn University Student Senate, on international affairs and social issues. Each conference focused on a specific theme and typically featured 5-10 speakers over a two- to three-day period. Circa 1970, the conference's format was changed to a series of speeches over a two- to three-month period; around the same time, the conference's purview was expanded to include domestic issues. In that connection, the conference's name was changed from "Auburn Conference on International Affairs" to "Horizons" in 1971. The Horizons lectures were organized by students on the Horizons Committee of the University Program Council (UPC) in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. Title supplied by metadata creator.
