fund raiser successful
Alpha_ Gamma Delta sorority's second annual
Arcade:a-thon to benefit the Juvenile Diabetes
Foundation was a big success, the chairwoman said.
Christine Ferguson said, "The Arcade-a-thon was
more successful this year since we had more
publicity and because this was our second year; I
think we are becoming a little more widely known."
Because the Arcade-a-thon Was held at the Penn
sylvania Space-lion instead of the HUB basement,
more people from town participated, said Julie
Eisenstein, Alpha Gamma Delta games chairwoman.

said.
Kevin Kirtley (6th-engineering) and Andy Pace
(3rd-liberal arts), representatives from 7th-floor
Behrend Hall, won the foosball tournament, while
Jeff Nisley, a brother at Sigma Phi Epsilon frater
nity, won the air hockey tournament.
But even those who did not win had a good
time. Dan Machon df State Colleo,e said the project
was great.
"I come down here any way, so it was neat that my
playing money was going toward a good cause," he
said.
Although many sorority members said more people
participated this year, a Pennsylvania Space-tion
employee said business was steady.
"Business was basically the same for a Sunday
afternoon," said Space-tion employy Bill Knepp. "I
think it was a good idea for the members to hold the

half of the proceeds from the games to the Juvenile

Champinship competition because he
needed the prize money died of a•
bra in hemorrhage yesterday,
authorities and family members said.
Officials at Memorial Hospital said
Ronald Miller died at 8:15 a.m. after
brain surgery. Cambria County
Coroner John Barron said he would
conduct an investigation.
"I tried to talk him out of it. But he
was desperate. He needed the $5OO.
He thought he had a chance, but he
was too small," said Miller's father,
Robert Miller.

Reagan officials may
begin weapon talks
By BARRY SCHWEID
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) The Reagan
administration, in a gesture to West
European allies, will begin consultations
in Brussels later this month on
negotiations for a cutback in U.S. and
Soviet medium-range nuclear weapons.
The talks could lead to East-West
negotiations by the end of the year,
although the administration intends to
move cautiously in dealing with •the
Soviet Union.
Meanwhile, the administration
postponed a meeting with the Russians
on the Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty
that was scheduled to begin next Wed
nesday in Geneva. The talks are held
twice a year to review U.S. and Soviet
compliance with the limitations on
various nuclear weapons systems.
A U.S. official, who asked not to be
identified, said the principal reason for
the postponement was that a new head of
the U.S. delegation had not been ap
pointed. Also, he said, the . Americans
needed more time to prepare for the
discussions.
"It is not a major substantive
development," he said. "We will go
ahead and have another meeting later
on."
Heading the U.S. delegation to the
Brussels talks will be Assistant
Secretary of State Lawrence
Eagleburger, who is trying both to

three bouts at the Johnstown War
Memorial, where regional com
petition was held for a national
Toughman title fight. The national
competition, scheduled for October in
Pontiac, Mich., has a top prize of
$50,000. '
Miller knocked out his opponent
Friday night. He was seeing double
and was dizzy after his first bout
Saturday night, but started the
second fight anyway, said his uncle,
Robert Law.
Law quoted his nephew as saying,
'Don't worry, Unk, if I get hit once
or twice, I'll quit.' "
The second fight was called when
Miller threw up and his nose started
bleeding, Law said.

take 'a tough stand toward Moscow;
administration sources disclosed.
Involved is the NATO decision in
December 1979 to deploy new U.S.
medium-range nuclear missiles in WeSt
Germany, Britain and Italy, beginning
in 1983. The Pershing and Cruise
missiles are to be targeted on the Soviet
Union; which has SS-20 missiles , already,
aimed at Western Europe.
Some of the NATO allies accepted the
decision reluctantly, and only with the
understanding there would he

reduce missile power on both sides.
Although the Reagan administration is
skeptical of dealing with the Soviet
Union on arms .control measures, 'the
European allies have been pressing the
United States to go ahead.
Eagleburger will meet with them lif t
Brussels, which is the NATO
headquarters, to try to find common
ground for East-West negotiations. In
the meantime, the administration in : .
tends to go ahead with the missile
deployment plan.
The decision is the first major move b
the new administration toward arms
control. However, President Reagan and
other officials • have stressed any
agreement with the Russians will also
depend on Soviet behavior in other
areas.
