He said the economy has in. creased each of the last eight yearE giving the U. S. continued pros perity. "The combination has lead to what really is a miracle. This sort of affluence has never been felt before as it is shared by our so ciety," he said. Sparks said that, according to Bertrund Harding, acting director of the OEO, the change affects 10 per cent of the 30 million Ameri cans that were in poverty at the start of 1967. Non-whites left poverty n i n e times as fast during the year as they averaged between 1960 and 1964. Whites left two and a half times as fast as they had <iuring the earlier period. Sparks added that only one third of those in poverty are white.

USC PC Charge BY IRBY KOON Staff Writer A University postal employe was Committee Disciplines 2 Students The last time two students were tried by the Discipline Committee, one was suspended for a semester and the other received a semester suspension which was held in abey ance. That was for the theft and sale of books by one who paid a gam bling debt to the second, he claimed. They were retried after they were connected with the theft of a purse from a McMaster hallway. This purse contained a diamond ring solitaire, a gold watch, a gold wedding hand, car keys, a billfold, and a checkbook. The student who stole the purse was also found guilty of stealing an ID card from his roommate be fore they changed rooms. The ID was used along with the checkbook to forge five checks. The second student only took the money, according to Dean of Men L. Eugene Cooper. In the retrial, the second student was suspended through J u n e 1, 1969, and the other is being sought. A warrant was issued for his ar rest Tuesday.
