| Summary: | Auburn professor Dr. Raymond Ritland and Auburn student Mary Lee Strother moderated a panel discussion of ACOIA 1966 speakers at 2:15 pm on Friday, February 18th, 1966. The panel speakers were nationally syndicated columnist Dr. Russell Kirk, Earl J. Young of the Agency for International Development, and Sidney Fine, Public Affairs Advisor to the Bureau of African Affairs at the of the US State Department. The panel 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.
