| Summary: | In this February 9, 1967 lecture, journalist Bruce Munn, the UPI United Nations Bureau Chief, discusses the topic of the United States and the United Nations. The lecture was the morning session of the 1967 Auburn Conference on International Affairs in which speakers discussed the theme of 'The United States and its World Alliances.' 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.
