A ) . us- rth L. m. ATHLETES 'A': Doc Lo4 A familiar figure in University sports won't be at today's football game. Retired University Astronomy Professor Hazel "Doc" Losh died late Thursday at the age of 80 after a long illness. DOC LOSH was known to thousands of Wolverine football fans for her 16- year tradition of walking across the 50- yard line beside the maize and blue banner before each game. Her appear- ances in recent years became an unof- ficial pre-game ceremony. A member of the University faculty since 1927, Doc Losh was a well-known and popular undergraduate teacher. While an instructor, she received considerable attention when Time magazine, noting her close association CONTRA CEPTION: The Healt sh asses with university athletes, claimed that her grading system followed the pat- tern: "'A' for Athletes, 'B' for Boys, and 'C' for Coeds." The energetic faculty member was named "Homecoming Queen for Life" in 1966. And in the spirit of the times was given a letter sweater by Michigan athletes and received pins from 12 fraternities. Doc relished her teaching job prior to her retirement in 1968. During 41 years in front of the blackboard, she estimated she had lectured to ap- proximately 50,000 students in Angell Hall's Auditorium A. "I've taught some of the greatest athletes who ever lived," she recalled during a Daily interview last year. away Doc Losh 'h Service Handbook By GAIL RYAN at QUESTION: All the birth control methods that are available stink. When at is someone going to come up with a decent method? ANSWER: As you have suggested, many of the birth control methods that are in use at the present time have many disadvantages associated with their use. These include adverse medical effects, necessity of good memory or forethought, necessity of )ly "interrupting" love-making to use, lack of aesthetic appeal, or lack of 100 per al- cent effectiveness. nd Although this list does sound over- ch whelming, there are things one can do to lessen their unattractiveness. We have mentioned some of these (such as integrating the insertion of the diaphragm or application of foam with condom into foreplay, so it will be less of an "interruption") in previous Health Service Handbooks. We also give an overview of the presently ry availably methods of birth control, n- their disadvantages and advantages, an and some ways of making their use more acceptable, at the Health Service nt Contraceptive Lectures (currently n- being held every Tuesday and Thur- sday evenings, 7 to 9 p.m.). Until more acceptable methods of contraception are developed, using the present ones creatively is a good way to approach birth control. When will these new methods be developed? Some have already been devised and have been perfected to a great extent that they are being tested st- in animals and humans, while others ial are still in the theoretical or preliminary stages of development. It is important to note that none of these can be considered the "perfect" method, as each has its own drawbacks. Also,'since we all have dif- ferent notions about that "decent" method of contraception, you might find some of these methods more ac- ceptable than others. A few examples of what you can ex- pect to find available in the near future or distant future: " The Male Pill: This pill, taken daily, contains a male hormone (danazol) that will, within two months after first being taken, suppress sperm produc- tion in the testes. The effects of this drug are completely reversible within five months. But (here comes the disadvantages!) they may cause ad- verse effects, such as weight gain, 'elevated cholesterol, blood pressure changes and damaged sperm (which could cause birth defects). Some of these side effects will hopefully be decreased by adding. testosterone (another male hormone) in a small enough dose so that sperm production is not reinitiated. (Estimated availability date: 1985-1987). " Anti-sperm Maturation Drug: Unlike the Male Pill, this drug (cyroterone acetate) does not interfere with the male hormones in any organ functions other than those specific to the maturation process. The sperm, because they have been inhibited in their growth, cannot move forcefully enough to penetrate and fertilize the woman's egg. The drug is contained in an implant, (a capsule placed just below the skin surface), which slowly releases the drug into the system. It's disadvantages is that it has not been shown to fully reduce the sperm count to a level low enough to reliable prevent conception. (Estimated availability date: after 1982). 'Collagen Sponge: This is a variation of the diaphragm in that it serves as a mechanical barrier against sperm from entering the cervical canal and contains a spermicide which deac- tivates them. (However, a traditional diaphragm does not come with the spermicide already contained within its walls but holds the spermicide, which is applied at the time of intercourse, in place against the opening of the cer- vix). The sponge is inserted by hand or by applicator and is left in place from two to twenty-eight days. When it becomes available it is expected to be sold without a prescription and'to cost between $20 and $40 per year to use. Its disadvantage is that one has to remem- ber the date it was inserted and replace it at the appropriate time. Also, there may be some side effects associated with its being kept inside the vagina for extended periods of time. * Anti-Pregnancy Vaccine: This vac- cine produces anti-bodies that work against the natural production of HCG (human chorionic gonadotrophin), a substance which the fertilized egg needs for survival. Its main drawback is that the vaccine provides protection against pregnancy for varying lengths of time in different women, making it difficult to predict when additional vaccine needs to be administered. There is also a risk that the vaccine's effects may not be reversible in some women. (Its estimated date o availability vares, from relatively soo to as late as 1987). Female Hormone Injections an Implants: Female hormones are give by injection, once every month, thre months, or six months. dependinmg o dose, or are released from an implan under the skin (similar to male implan ts discussed above). These are con venient methods and only require th woman to remember when to receiv her next injection or to replace the im- plant. They do not have many of the risks associated with oral estrogen con- traceptives because they do not contain estrogen. The disadvantages are that they may cause bleeding throughout the menstrual, cycle, disruption of regular menstrual cycles, and a delay or absense of fertility after discon- tinuation of the drug. (Although the are currently being used in 69 other countries, the estimated' availablility date in the U.S. is questionable. In 197 the Food and Drug Administration ap proved the use of the injection in women who were unable to tolerate other methods, but rescinded its ap- proval in the spring of this year due to its possible relationship to cancer.) " Refinements of the Rhythm Method: One such refinement is called fertility awareness (which was described in detail in a Pacific News Service article in the Michigan Daily o Sept. 19, 1978). This method requir the daily recording of the woman' temperature (temperature decrease during ovulation) and charting of th cervix and mucus (the mucus becomes thinner during ovulation and the cervi changes its position and appearance) In addition, two mechanica 1 devices, one a small electrical device tha measures electricalcharges linked t ovulation, the other, a device whic evaluates changes in the cervica mucus, have been developed. These refined hrythm methods have no si effects, are acceptable to those persons who prohibit birth control by artificial means, but, like the conventional rhythm method, require 10-15 days df abstinence or alternate form of birt control. (Estimate availability datet fertility awareness classed ar available now in some areas of the country and the devices are expected t be on the market in the near future.)
