Poverty
Program
Discussed
The anti-poverty program was
the subject of a seminar recently
held in Columbia.
The program, third in a series
of meetings on the Columbia area's
problems, was sponsored by the
Citizens for Progress Commission
and the USC Bureau of Business
and Economic Research.
Principal speakers, F r a n k K.
Sloan, regional director of the Of
fice of Economic Opportuity, and
William K. Marsh, State coordi
nator for OEO, appraised the
progress of the new anti-proverty
program.
"The war on p o v e r t y is not
money, it is an idea," Sloan told
the audience. "We will not solve all
the problems with a few dollars.
But, rather, all of the community
must become involved.
"This idea," he continued, "is
working. Five hundred counties in
the South are involved in different
agencies to help the poor - both
white and colored."
Sloan cited p r o j e c t s being
planned and some already operat
ing that exemplify the program's
success. Those projects, Head Start
and T-Square are already breaking
into the "hard-core cycle of pov
erty."
The second speaker, Marsh de
scribed the importance of the OEO
program.
Marsh pointed out, "South Caro
lina's largest resource is its people.
The OEO program is best-suited i
for our state because it can bridge
the gap between the poor and the
industrial job openings by training
the unskilled laborer."

was a visiting mathematician from
M.I.T. Upon his return to the
United States, he made reports
on the a f f a i r through national
television and magazine coverage.
Next day, August 1, the profes
sors of the University met. A sev
enty-five-year-old m a n had in
curred a head injury requiring 18
stitches. One man had a broken
rib and one a broken arm. Another
man suffered a concussion. Others
had received various injuries dur
ing the violence.
Seventy-five of 80 professors
a n d Ph.D. candidates resigned
from the Physics Department at
the meeting. The same thing hap
pened, though to a less extent,
in other departments. Most in the
physics a n d chemistry depart
iait, resigned; more than 50%
resigned from the departments of
philosophy and architecture.
LEFT COUNTRY
Some faculty members left the
country, going to Chile, Peru, and
Venezuela.
Dr. I'arach had offers of posi
'ions in South America, but even
though he wanted to stay near
Argentina, he accepted Carolina's
offer. "I wanted to go to a place
where I could improve my ex
