description	In this recording, Nationally Syndicated Columnist James Kilpatrick speaks on the topic of the urban crisis in America, touching on aspects along the way such as crime, education, architecture, economics, and the ecology of the city. He delineates the widespread loss of the concept of a city and the yearning for stability in our society, as well as plights of unemployment teeming across the country by dint of racial discremination and a dearth of vocational education. The talk, followed by a Q&A period, was part of the 1969 Auburn Conference on International Affairs (ACOIA) 1969. 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.
