Augelli
The one-day session will join experts in U.S. foreign policy.
Augelli said he hopes this attempt to get the view of selected members of the academic community will help narrow the-gulf which often separates that group from government agencies.
Besides gathering information for some of the nation's pressing foreign problems, Augelli said Kissinger intends to present major foreign policy problems in the early months of the Nixon administration.

Nobel winner lectures in physics film
The second in a series of seven physics films "Relation of Mathematics to Physics," will be shown at 7:30 p.m. today in 124 Malott Hall, Peter M. Richards, physics professor said.

Richards said the lecturer in the film R. P. Feynman, a professor and Nobel prize winner, was regarded as the world's most exciting, lucid and entertaining physics lecturer.
