He . and three other Utah athletes were sentenced for their misdemeanor spray painting offenses Wednesday in 8th Circuit Court in Provo.

Gorbachev, and vowed to speak for them. Appearing at a human rights seminar, Reagan said that while there has been "modest progress" in the Soviet Union, much more needs to be done in terms of the treatment of dissidents. "We see the violation of anyone's human rights as ... an attack on civilization," he told an audience gathered in the auditorium of the Old Executive Office Building next to the White House. Human rights is but one of an array of issues that Reagan will take up with Gorbachev next week in addition to arms control matters. This long list of other subjects includes, be et sides human rights, areas conflict is where the East-Webeing waged on bloody Third st World battlefields in Af- well-bein- 1 h; - ghanistan, Central America and southern Africa, among them. On the human rights question, Reagan pledged that he will not enter into any agreements "diminishing the universality of human rights. Our dedication to liberty and justice is not negotiable." Reagan said he recognizes that as he enters talks with Gorbachev, "sitting next to me will be unseen guests. ... These people are not now, nor will they be, forgotten by my administration. We deeply care g about the of these unseen guests, and their presence will be felt throughout."

This array of conflicts, as well as the situation in Gulf, comes under the heading of "regional issues," one of four broad agenda topics that Reagan and Gorbachev will discuss. The others are arms control, human rights and bilateral issues. The highlight of the summit is expected to be the signing of the missile treaty Tuesday afternoon and the discussion of whether agreement is possible on a proposed 50 percent reduction in intercontinental missiles. But as the remaining agenda items suggest, the two countries are joined together by a web of other interests that both find suitable for discussion at the summit.
