WASHINGTON, D.C. President Reagan,
saying rampant drug abuse is reaping "sorrow
and heartbreak" across America, launched a
campaign yesterday to purge schools and work
places of illicit drugs.
Reagan unveiled a six-point program to coax
people off drugs and embraced a combination of
mandatory and. voluntary tests of both govern
ment and private employees to get the job done.
In a nationally broadcast appearance, Reagan
credited his wife, Nancy, with working hard to
get kids to say no to drugs, and said that "start
ing today, Nancy's crusade to deprive the drug
peddlers and suppliers of their customers be
comes America's crusade."
During a brief question-and-answer session,
Reagan acknowledged that he had only recently
taken a high-profile role in the administration's
quest to combat drug abuse.

Superpowers to begin planning in September for 1986 summit

WASHINGTON, D.C. The United States
and the Soviet Union, in a step toward a 1986
summit, announced yesterday that agenda
planning talks will be held here in September
between Secretary of State George P. Shultz
and the Soviet foreign minister.
No date has been set for the long-delayed
summit itself, Charles E. Redman, a State
Department spokesman, said in announcing
the talks Sept. 19-20 between Shultz and
Eduard A. Shevardnadze.
However, another U.S. official, who spoke

Reagan outlined six broad goals encompassing
his plan to attack a growing problem that he said
costs business $lOO million a year.
Among them, he said, is a plan to create a
drug-free workplace for all Americans, getting
drugs out of schools, improving efforts to inform
people of the dangers of drugs and stepping
,up
law enforcement drug interdiction efforts and
attempts to get other nations to cooperate.
But Reagan would not say how much the new
initiative will cost, nor reveal what plans, if any,
the administration has for asking Congress to
improve new spending plans or supplement pro
grams already in effect. He did say, "the solution
does not lie simply within the realm of govern
ment.
"It is time to go beyond government," Reagan
said. "All the confiscation and law enforcement
in the world will not cure this plague as long as it
is kept alive by public acquiescence. So, we must

summit by year's end.

would meet with President Reagan, as well.
But at the White House, a spokesman, Dan
Howard, said "there are no such plans at the
present time."
Summit preparations were slowed by a
slump in U.S.-Soviet relations after Reagan
and Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev held
their "fireside" summit last November in
Geneva.

State College appoints
By JILL A. BEDFORD
Collegian Staff Writer
After a two-month search, State College
Municipal Council has chosen a new borough
manager, Council President John Dombroski
announced last night at a news conference.
Peter S. Marshall, of Newark, Del., ac
cepted the position Friday and plans to as
sume his post in mid-September. His
appointment was unanimously approved by
the council in its August meeting last night.
Marshall now serves as borough manager
of Newark home of the University of
Delaware where he has worked since 1973.
"I'm looking forward to this experience,
and I'm looking forward to a real challenge,"
he said. "My immediate goals are just to find
out the lay of the land."
Marshall listed improving productivity of
the State College community as a top priority
once he has taken the office. He added that
cost-cutting and streamlining are areas that
can always use improvement.
Dombroski said Marshall was selected from
a field of 100 candidates nationwide because of
his background, particularly his experience in
a University setting.
"We settled on Peter beeause of his fine

and Gorbachev asserted their determination
to reduce sharply U.S. and Soviet nuclear
weapons notwithstanding an apparent con
flict in their approaches.
U.S. and Soviet delegations also have held
meetings in Geneva on nuclear weapons tests'
and on the two strategic arms limitation
treaties that Reagan intends to scrap. Sepa
rate talks to slow the spread of nuclear
technology to other nations were held in
Moscow.
Reagan and Gorbachev had agreed on a

Newark," Dombroski said in a prepared
statement. Several of Marshall's qualifica
tions matched the borough's profiles or needs,
he said.
Marshall will be filling the $58,500 salary
post vacated by Carl Fairbanks. Fairbanks
resigned from his post after 17 years in
January to accept a job in New Jersey.
Marshall, originally from Pittsburgh, has a
master's degree in governmental administra
tion from the University of Pennsylvania. He
was employed as an assistant professor at the
University of Delaware from 1977 to 1985 and
he worked as an instructor at the Shenango
Valley Commonwealth Campus of Penn State
in 1973.
He and his wife, Betty, have been married
for 26 years. They have three daughters:
Heather, 22, a senior at the University of
Delaware; Heidi, 20, a junior at Clemson
University; and Anne, 14.
He will continue to work in Newark until
September.
Dombroski said Ron Davis, who has been
acting as the borough manager since
Fairbanks' departure in June, has "done a
super job" and will continue on until Marshall

but demand."
Reagan stopped short of announcing a pro
gram of drug screening for federal employees
a drug-fighting option that has been heavily
publicized in recent days. But he said he has
suggested that members of the Cabinet take
tests, if that would set an example.
"I think we're pretty much agreed that manda
tory testing is justified where the employees
have the health of others, the safety of others, in
their hands," Reagan said, referring to law
enforcement authorities, air traffic controllers
and the like in the federal workforce.
House Majority Leader Jim Wright, D-Texas,
hailed Reagan's speech, saying, "We are encour
aged by the fact he is awakened to the reality of
the problem, apparently he appreciates the di
mensions of the problem." -
Wright, however, said the government's cur
rent annual expenditure of $3 million for drug
education is like "trying to fight a bear with a fly
swatter."

Thatcher approves
limited sanctions
By MAUREEN JOHNSON
Associated Press Writer
LONDON Six Commonwealth
countries agreed to impose 11 harsh
new sanctions against South Africa
yesterday, but Britain would go no
further than to introduce a limited .
package.
British Prime Minister Margaret
Thatcher, addressing reporters at a
news conference shortly after mid
night today, said she had compro
mised in the interests of
Commonwealth unity despite her be
lief that sanctions will not end apart
heid.
,"It has not been an easy confer
ence," Thatcher said. "I don't believe
that further sanctions will bring
about internal change in South Afri
ca. . .but the others were bent on
further action."
"We certainly have done things
which are a compromise and take our
membership of the Commonwealth
into account," she said.
But Prime Minister Robert Mugabe
of Zimbabwe said: "We cannot avoid
the conclusion that in effect Britain
has chosen the path of supporting
apartheid."
The list of sanctions agreed upon by
the six countries added three to a
package of eight Commonwealth
countries, excluding Britain, agreed
to at a meeting last October in the
Bahamas. That summit gave Preto
ria until mid-1986 to dismantle the
apartheid system of racial separation
and negotiate with black leaders.
The six countries agreed to cut air
links with South Africa, withdraw all
consular facilities except those for
their own citizens; end agreements
preventing double taxation and end
government assistance for trade; and
ban agricultural imports, new bank
loans and imports of uranium, coal
iron and steel.
Thatcher pledged an immediate
"voluntary" ban against British in
vestment in South Africa and promo
tion of tourism to that country, a
British official said.
She said the actions must be volun
tary by Britons because the govern
ment had no exchange controls or
powers to order publications to stop,
for example, printing South African
tourism advertisements.
She also promised to accept a ban
on iron, steel and coal imports if it is
agreed next month by the European
Community.
Mugabe told a news conference
Peter S. Marshall
"Britain has let down the people of
South Africa. Britain has let Africa
down." He said Zimbabwe would
have to examine "our own way of
dealing with those who support apart
heid."
Zimbabwe and Zambia, the two
African nations at the meeting had
supported tough sanctions despite
being major trading partners with
South Africa and heavily dependent
on its economy. Cutting air links
could cripple their national airlines.
The conference, which also includ
ed Australia, Canada, India and the
Bahamas, was scheduled to last three
days, but broke up at the end of the
second day yesterday.
In contrast to the angry threats of
withdrawal or of sanctions against
Britain by African and Asian nations
before the conference, the Common
wealth nations in their statement
reaffirmed their belief in their unique
association despite ending in open
disagreement.
"We take the opportunity to renew
our own firm commitment to the
future of the Commonwealth and to
the aims and objectives which have
guided it over the years," they said.
Thatcher said the summit's final
disagreement was "recognition that
each of us has different positions and
different perspectives."
Cutting air links, for example,
would have no effect on India or
Canada, which have no flights to
South Africa and would involve Aus
tralia in stopping just one weekly
South African Airways flight.
It would cost state-owned British
Airways, a major foreign carrier into
South Africa, $1.5 million a week.
About 158 million pounds ($l7l mil
lion) of Britain's 1 billion pound an
nual trade with South Africa consists
of agricultural produce.
First news of the deadlock broke at
lunchtime when British officials an
nounced the limited measures offered
by Thatcher which were rejected.
The Bahamian summit concluded
with a package of eight sanctions
including bans on air links, new in
vestment, tourism promotion, agri
cultural imports, government
purchases from South Africa and
government contracts with South Af
rican companies, and called for an
end to agreements that prevent dou
ble taxation of companies or individu
als in other countries.
The three other sanctions agreed to
yesterday include the ban on new
bank loans, the ban on imports of
uranium, coal, iron and steel, and the
withdrawal of consular factilities.

ny, quit the Commonwealth in 1961

program, known commonly as "Star Wars."
Redman said Shultz and Shevardnadze are
expected to "review progress achieved in
areas addressed by President Reagan and
General Secretary Gorbachev in their No
vember 1985 meeting and discuss what addi
tional preparations may be needed for a
summit meeting between the two leaders
later this year."
The earliest practical date for a summit
meeting is late November since Reagan has
ruled out a Gorbachev visit during the U.S.
congressional election campaign.
