W Bush said Soviet leaders are "setting public preconditions that we clearly cannot meet." Bush spoke in the Russell House Ballroom to a group of about 400 students, university officials and Western community representatives as part of a three-day conference on the global crises and challenges facing nations of the Western alliance. During his 45-minute speech, Bush said the Soviets "will find us determined and fair-minded negotiators" if they make a serious proposal at the Geneva talks, but warned the andienrp aoainct Soviet "false advertising in arms negotiations." "In the past year they have made several ? dramatic public announcements only to follow in private with one-sided proposals or no serious proposals at all. We hope that's not the case this time," Bush said. The United States and the Soviet Union are scheduled to meet next month in Geneva, Switzerland, to discuss the bilateral reduction of nuclear arsenals of both superpowers. "We welcome this proposal, but we can't help noticing that their private presentation comes more than a full week after they first started discussing the proposal in public." Bush said. "There have ? been press announcements, a speech at the U,N. and statements relating to meetings with Secretary Shultz and the President." Bush said the climate for the Geneva talks will be more affected by international events than political rhetoric. Sea "Bush," page 2. Colleges fail to it * Black enrollment i By JOAN M.

Lord Peter Carrington, secretary-general of NATO, addressed USC student leaders, administration and guests at a dinner Thursday night in the Russell House Ballroom. Lawrence Eagleburger, the conference chairman, introduced Lord Carrington as a "Renaissance man with magnificent diplomatic talents." Lord Carrington spoke on the topic, "The Atlantic Alliance ? The Challenges and the Prospects." "Our challenge to the alliance is the feeling that the geographical limitation of the North Atlantic Treaty is inadequate, or even a source of weakness," he said. "The Soviet Union represents a global challenge, and the values we seek to defend are shared by a Western community wider than the Atlantic Alliance." But the answer is not membership expansion, Lord Carrington said. "We have little choice but to start from where we are." Lord Carrington summarized NATO policy on nuclear arms.
