Asked yesterday if a treaty would be completed, Reagan said, "I have no way of answering that." and added that the two nations were committed to the cutback. Shevardnadze , asked if a treaty would be ready, said through a translator: "It is possible. This is not an easy task. This is a very com- plicated task, but we are becoming convinced that it is doable. "There are many different ques- tions of a technical nature, mostly in verification, but in principle this can be done," the foreign minister said as he left the White House following two hours of talks and lunch with Reagan. The summit announcement capped three days of meetings between Shev- ardnadze and Schultz. After a morn- ing round of talks at the State Department, Shevardnadze went to the White House. Within minutes of his arrival, Shevardnadze and Reagan stepped from the Oval Office to the sun- splashed Rose Garden to disclose the long-awaited summit dates. "We have set the date and now we shall take care of good substance, good content for the summit," Shev- ardnadze said. White House spokesperson Marlin Fitzwater said the president would spend all his time in the Soviet capital, following the pattern set by Gorbachev when he remained in Washington during his December summit with Reagan. But Nancy Reagan, the president's wife, is planning a day trip to Leningrad. White House planners are exploring the possibility of setting up meetings with Soviet dissidents and refuseniks, as well as arranging a presidential trip to a performance by the Bolshoi ballet. Asked what the summit would acheive if an arms agreement is not sealed, Reagan said, "There are a number of other subjects that we continue to discuss with each other." Reagan, who began his political career as an ardent anti-communist, came into office in 1981 saying Kremlin leaders did not hesitate to cheat or lie to acheive their goals. IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press reports Israelis hold raids to quell riots JERUSALEM - The army made overnight raids throughout the occupied lands yesterday, arresting hundreds of Palestinians in its latest strategy for ending a rebellion in which more than 100 Arabs and an Israeli soldier have been killed. Israeli warplanes flew their second raid in six days against guerilla targets in south Lebanon. Arab reports said about 500 Palestinians were rounded up in the sweep. Defense minister Yitzhak Rabin said 3,000 have been detained since riots began Dec. 8 in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip. Soldiers shot and wounded an Arab protester in Gaza's Jabaliva refugee camp, officials at Shifa hospital reported. They also said a Palestinian from the Deir al Balah camp had serious head injuries from a beating. Economy expands, prices fall WASHINGTON - The government delivered two welcome pieces of economic news yesterday: consumer prices rose just 0.2 percent in February and the economy in late 1987 expanded at the liveliest pace in nearly two years. Falling energy and food prices in February helped restrain the rise in the Labor Department's Consumer Price Index after a 0.3 percent increase in January. For the first two months of the year, prices increased at an annual rate of 3.2 percent much better than last year's moderate 4.4 percent inflation. In a separate report, the Commerce Department said the U.S. economy grew at a brisk 4.8 percent annual pace in the final three months of last year. It was the second upward revision in the fourth-quarter GNP, estimated a month ago at 4.5 percent and in January at 4.2 percent. Ex-CIA official denies drug dealings in Iran-Contra affair WASHINGTON - A nearly 2-year-old lawsuit that accuses several Iran-Contra figures of collaborating with Columbian drug lords is under attack by the defendants who call the complaint "legal terrorism." The lawsuit, filed in May 1986 several months before the Iran-Contra affair was disclosed publicly, names some of the people in the private network that Lt. Col. Oliver North formed to help the Nicaraguan contras. At the heart of the lawsuit is the allegation that "a secret team" headed by former CIA official Theodore Shackley worked over two decades to manage a covert, shadow government funded with drug profits. In an article in the Journal of Defense and Diplomacy, Shackley described the plaintiffs as "practitioners of character assassination through legal terrorism." Panamanians expel U.S. official PANAMA CITY, Panama - A U.S. diplomat was given 48 hours to leave Panama yesterday, the third day of a general strike that has virtually shut down the country but not loosened Gen. Manuel Antonio Noriega's grip on power. David Miller, an economics counselor, was the second American diplomat ordered out by the Foreign Ministry, which gave no reason for its decision. In Washington, the State Department said yesterday night it would ignore the order because the United States considers the government that issued it illegitimate. It gave the same reason for rejecting the previous order against Terence Kneebone, head of the U.S. Information Service in Panama, who remains in the country. EXTRAS Everybody loves a circus NEW YORK - The police van's megaphone issued issued a strange warning to the crowd of over 100 people hovering around the Manhattan exit from the Queens Midtown Tunnel early Wednesday. "Do yourself a favor and don't touch the cages." Up from under the river came Ringling Bros. and Barnum Bailey Circus' annual three-mile parade of animals as the big top moved into Madison Square Garden for a six-week run. The caged lions and tigers came first. Fourteen of them in two stands of cages linked together and pulled by trucks. "Living things in Manhattan that are not people, and are not cockroaches!" yelled Amy Slaton, a 30-year-old art critic. After the tigers came elephants, 15 horses, five zebras, and six camels. Inevitably, the rear was brought up by a Department of Sanitation street sweeper. If you see news happen, call 76-DAILY. A4 4 4 A 4 4 Graduating or Just Need Summer Transportation!

Kate Gordon, an RC sophomore who has helped plan the forum, said the class has dispelled some of the misconceptions connected with the AIDS issue, like the myth that peo-. ple can contract the disease through casual contact. "People need to know what's real and what's not real. The real articles on AIDS are very scientific and are difficult to read. The articles that are easy to read are based on conjecture and perpetuate a lot of unreasonable fears," Gordon said. Many distinguished leaders of the University community, as well as health specialists, are participating in the forum. Max Heirich, an RC associate professor of sociology, will be one of members of tonight's panel dis- cussion. "Aids is not only a problem of gay males and intravenous drug users, it is a problem for whole na- tions." The keynote address will be given in the East Quad Auditorium at 4 p.m. today. The forum will culminate with Friday's presentation of William Hoffman's 'As Is', an award-winning play performed by the River of Un- derstanding Ensemble.
