were sent to confer with their experts on defense and foreign affairs and try to work out the differences between the two parties.
No solution was reached at that time and the staff members were told to continue to work during the night. Reagan and Gorbachev were at dinner when the final arrangements were made.
When word of the agreement came to the leaders, they went into another room and sat side by side on the couch and decided on the joint appearance.
Officials said the personal rapport the leaders seemed to have developed over the two days may bring the "new beginning" both men said they wanted from the summit.
Near midnight last night, U.S. security agents with bomb-sniffing dogs cleared the conference center that had been home to almost 3,000 journalists covering the summit so they could conduct a sweep of the area. The ceremony will occur at the conference center.
Speakes said the appearance would be brief, and there were no plans for the two leaders to answer questions.
Speakes repeatedly refused to answer questions about the nature of the appearance.
A cassette stereo valued at $169 was taken from a car parked in the 800 block of Michigan Street between 8:30 p.m. Friday and 5:30 p.m. Saturday. Lawrence police said yesterday.
A radar detector valued at $230 was reported stolen from a car parked in Dover Square at Meadowbrook Apartments, police said.

Panel votes to reduce malpractice limit
TOPEKA — A state medical malpractice insurance fund would be limited to paying $1 million for any single judgment under a bill that a legislative study committee approved yesterday for introduction in the 1986 Kansas Legislature.
The Associated Press
The bill, as approved by the Special Committee on Medical Malpractice, would reduce the current $3 million limit that the state's Health Care
The fund is designed to cover judgments in excess of the $200,000 minimum liability limits of a doctor's regular malpractice insurance.
Stabilization Fund can pay to satisfy one malpractice judgment.
The proposal also would reduce from $6 million to $3 million the amount that could be paid out of the fund during the course of a year to cover multiple judgments against any one doctor.
Rep. Joe Knopp, R-Manhattan, the
chairman of the committee, said the panel would consider a proposal today that would establish a $1 million limit on the amount of damages that can be awarded in any case. That proposal, if passed, would institute the most sweeping changes in years for Kansas medical malpractice laws.
The committee began discussions yesterday on 21 proposals designed to deal with increasing medical malpractice insurance premiums.
During hearings the panel held since the 1985 session adjourned, doctors have testified they are being forced to abandon high-risk procedures, such as delivering babies, because of what they consider to be the astronomical cost of malpractice insurance. The premiums can exceed $30,000 a year for doctors practicing in the highest risk groups.
The 21-member committee approved 10 of the 12 proposals it considered.
Election
Continued from p. 1
Day said, "The only place I could even imagine someone being able to vote two times is Strong."
Double-voting could be difficult to detect, he said, because poll workers didn't keep records of the number of students who voted other than the tallies the voting machines gave.
Day said he didn't know these records were kept in the past, but would use poll registers today after receiving a written request from Charles Laworn, liberal
arts and sciences candidate from Common Sense.
Ruth Lichtwardt, vice presidential candidate for Chrysalis, said she didn't think long lines or closed polls would affect the turnout too much.
She said a few voters might not wait in long lines, and some who found closed polls might not want to try again.
"People who are determined to vote will vote no matter what," she said.
Day said no polls opened on time
because he had to unlock each of the 15 machines. Other committee members would have known how to do that if they had attended a meeting Tuesday night, he said.
A complaint about possible campaign violations was filed yesterday morning with the Elections Committee by Chrysalis about several "Vote Common Sense" messages that were chalked on campus sidewalks and stairs. The markings may have violated a rule that says candidates can't put signs outside campus buildings.
Coke called spermicidal
United Press International
BOSTON — Coke Classic is five times better than the new Coca-Cola formula as a contraceptive, a team of Harvard Medical School physicians announced yesterday, and Diet Coke is best of all.
The physicians mixed sperm samples with three varieties of Coca-Cola - Diet Coke, Coke Classic and New Coke - and found that Diet Coke was the most effective at killing sperm, Coke Classic was next and New Coke was only one-fifth as effective as Coke Classic.
The physicians said in a letter to the New England Journal of Medicine that Coca-Cola douches
were a popular form of contraception at the turn of the century and were still used in developing countries.
They wanted to test the effectiveness of Coca-Cola as a spermicidal agent.
"Although not recommended for postcoital contraception, partly because sperm can be found in the oviducts within minutes after intercourse, Coca-Cola products do appear to have a spermicidal effect," said Sharice A. Umpierre of Harvard Medical School and three other physicians.
They concluded, "Furthermore, our data indicate that, at least in the area of spermicidal effect, 'Classic' Coke is 'it.'"

Digital history began in 1972 when the world's first digital recording was made by Denon using their DN 023R PCM recorder. In 1977, the first optically read PCM audio discs were produced and four years later, in 1981, the first CD players were developed for commercial use. Now CD players are produced by many manufacturers throughout the world. All CD players offer extraordinarily powerful.
