The fund, a student fund raising organization started under 1984-85 SG President Glenn German, has not been pursued by Stroble, although Stroble is involved in similar efforts. The Student Summit Fund was named and modeled after the University Summit Fund, a fundraising organization that attained its $35 million goal last year and disbanded. ? While Stroble admitted he has not made the student fund a ? priority this year because of the 9 disbanding of the university fund, he said a SG committee is presently looking into student giving and considering forming a permanent organization similar in purpose to the student fund. "The students will decide how much will be donated, if any, and where it will go," Stroble said. Student Government is trying "to educate students on the imjgfr portance of giving once they become alumni," he said. King's dream By STEPHEN C.

The student fund was originally set up to "vault USC to the summit of higher education," and so students could "give the university something substantive in return for what it had given us," according to German. USC alumnus Bill Kotti chaired the student fund committee, which successfully raised about $135,000 last year. T1! r 1?

"I wanted it to be ongoing so each class would have a chance to give." German said. German also said he never intended the student fund to be a "one time shot" because USC "needs a constant source of money since the state only supplies 50 percent of needed funds. The rest of the money must come from somewhere." i needs recoir ist, she said, "we must live together as brothers and sisters or perish together as fools."

Journalist from USSR visits USC Weapon elimination possible, editor says By CARL DAWSGN Assistant news editor The editor of a major Soviet journal visited USC during his post-summit evaluation tour of America. Valentin Berezhkov, 70, edits USA: Economics, Politics, Ideology, a monthly magazine with a circulation of 32,000 published by the Institute of U.S. and Canadian Studies, part of the USSR Academy of Sciences. Berezhkov said it is important as editor of the magazine to have _ c i' ^ * - ~ a iceung ior me atmosphere of the U.S. after the summit meeting and to find out prospects for the two countries' future relationship. He said it looks as if Reagan and Gorbachev agreed at the summit that they can work together to eliminate nuclear weapons, but Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative, or Star Wars, is a major stumbling block. "We feel there is no need to spend tens of billions of dollars in order to eliminate weapons if one can just eliminate them without doing that," Berezhkov said. "This is something that we rnnciHpr a C O n rv* *? ? .V..U1UVI no can cuivlll JJl IU JJliKX weapons in space, and we are against it because then our planet will be even more vulnerable than it is now," he said. Berezhkov said the Soviets have always sought to be considered equals, and this is a prerequisite for any agreements between the two superpowers.

Singley Juan Pierre was arrested Saturday at 4:30 p.m. after the attempted theft of a Walkman from a room in Moore dormitory, USC police spokesman Norman Sanders said. Fourth-floor residence hall adviser Brian Newton said his door was open when he saw a man who "looked suspicious," described in police reports as a black male, get off the elevator and wander around. Newton said he decided to stop the man when he saw him walk to the other side of the hall. Newton said when the man entered an unlocked dorm room, he followed and asked if he could help. The man said he was looking for his brother, who was in the shower, and sat down on a bed, Newton said. Newton said the man started to leave with a Walkman. When Newton asked ' man what he was doing with the radio, and asked for an ID, he dropped the Walkman and tried to move away, according to Newton. Moore resident Paul Devine, who had just gone down the hall to watch a basketball game, said he met the man as he was leaving the dorm room and told Newton he didn't know the suspect. &88BEBM JMi I iv T^flp'^' "^fcSBtefek4 *^wA ! - Wi?*. :-vC jjgSajg^ *i>'t '& V 'J 'jf^^Ss: "'- " jjra Valentin Berszhkov' ? > soviet Journalist compromise if we see that the other side is prepared to compromise, but an agreement is valid only when it is based on equal interests and not because the other side was forced to accept this agreement. "This principle of equal quality, equal security is very important for us, and whatever agreements could be reached, they will be reached only on the basis of this principle." He said a change in Reagan's rhetoric from an aggressive, antiSoviet stance to his present hopes for change has created a situation in which there is a chance for attempts at improved relations.

This is Pierre's third arrest on the USC campus, Sanders said. He was found guilty in April 1983 after he was found trespassing at Moore, carrying a resident's bank teller card. Pierre was found guilty of second-degree burglary, disorderly conduct and drunkeness in November 1985 after he was seen running out of Bates House with a resident's wallet. Sanders said he didn't know whether the court told Pierre not to come back to campus after his first offense, hnf hp caiH th#? nrvr. mal procedure would be to warn him against it. He said Pierre would have been reported if his officers had seen him. This is the 18th attempted theft from Moore dorm, Baker said.
