| Summary: | Moderated by Dr. Edward Williamson, the panel of Auburn professors discusses how old patterns in America's societies are changing, like the objection of the integration of black people, the place of the liberal and the concept of the welfare program. Panelists were Dr.Harold Moon of the Psychology Department, Mr. Jerry Cardwell of the Sociology Department, and Dr. Terry Todd from the School of Education. Panelists also discuss, aside from basic urbanization issues, some alternate approaches to education and fully integrated schools. The talk, followed by a Q&A period, was part of the 1969 Auburn Conference on International Affairs (ACOIA). The theme of ACOIA 1969 was 'The Urban Crisis.' 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.
