Dope note Hey all you heavy dope-smoking males out there, you better watch out! According to a report co-authored by noted sex researcher William Masters, men who smoke large vcnounts of marijuana run the risk of decreasing their fertility. The report was based on the work of re- searchers at the Reproductive Biology Research Foun- dation in St. Louis, headed by Masters. They ran tests on 20 men between the ages of 18 and 28 who smoked from five to 18 joints a week for 18 monthe or longer and found that 35 per cent had noticeably decreased sperm counts.

By CHERYL PILATE As long as Frank Rhodes was dean of. the Literary college, he held a coffee hour with students every week-that is, until his administrative duties as the newly appoint- ed vice president for academic affairs plac- ed another buffer zone between him and the members of the literary college. "He always looked too much in a hurry for me to ever talk to him," one student commented of the often elusive LSA dean. ALTHOUGH RHODES will not be offic- ially assuming the vice presidency until July 1, according to his assistant Ned Dougherty, "he's been trying to hold two jobs at once and is busy every minute of the day." Claiming that he is not an administrator, but rather "a faculty member who has taken on an administrative role," Rhodes is S inca White still somewhat skeptical over his vice presi- dential position. "I'm not sure I can better serve the Uni- versity as a vice president rather than a dean," says Rhodes. "On a day-to-day basis, I think you can accomplish more as a dean." Hoping that he can still remain some- what accessible to students, he acknowl- edges that "the farther you go away from department affairs, t e longer it takes to get things done and the less contact you can have with students." ALTHOUGH RHODES is not as controver- sial a figure as outgoing Vice President Allan Smith, he has attracted his share of criticism - and has also received wide- spread acclaim. Considered by many high University of- ficials to be the only logical successor to issue s House Smith, Rhodes has been hailed as an "in- novator" and, at the same time, been ac- cused of rigidity and close-mindedness. When Rhodes first assumed the LSA dean- ship in July 1971, he termed his ideas "wild by conventional standards." NOW AFTER THREE years of admin- istering the 29 departments of the Uni- versity's oldest college, Rhodes asserts that although he is not a "wild-eyed revolution- ary," he is still committed to "maintaining and enhancing the University as a com- munity of people who are committed to transmitting and adding to knowledge." Charles Morris, associate dean of LSA, believes that Rhodes has done an "extra- ordinary" job as dean of LSA. "He was always aware of student needs -although he may have been bound up in ' other constraints at times. He always em- phasized the importance of high-quality undergraduate teaching and reduced the number of closed courses by 75 per cent." THE AFFABLE, articulate Rhodes, who stresses the need for more innovative teach- ing methods, was a geology professor at the University for three years before becoming dean. However, because Rhodes was so widely touted as being a "liberal" professor, many students were disappointed when radical reforms were not instituted in LSA. "We were -hopeful when he was first ap- pointed," comments Jim Weinstein, student member of the Graduation Requirements Commission (GRC). "But, he was socialized into being just like all the other deans - and nothing new happened. He was just so nice and smooth most of the time that he was usually hard See VP, Page 2 Rhodes eW S tapeS, bp oepona for Group accuses Regenuts of racism. By JO MARCOTTY A grouphof 45 minority students, most of tChem black, paid an un- expected visit to the Regents' monthly meeting yesterday and de- manded a private session to dis- cuss what they called "racist ac- tions and financial discrimination" by the University. The Regents and President Rob- ben Fleming agreed to meet with the protesters in a private session this afternoon. WITH VICE President for Stu- dent Services Henry Johnson act- ing as negotiator between the Re- gents and the minority students, Esmerelda Watkins from Student Government Council's Minority Af- fairs Committee read a statement accusing the University of being "institutionally racist," ignoring the Regents' 1970 commitment to the Black Action Movement de- mands, and generally failing to respond- to the needs of minority students. One demonstrator, SGC member Dietrich Winters, then requested a meeting between the Regents and the heads of campus minority groups for this afternoon, and de- manded an immediate answer to his request. "Most of the problems here are those that they (the Regents) are not immediately acquainted with," replied Fleming, and added that he would discuss the situation in later contacts with the protesters. LAST NIGHT Fleming and the Regents agreed to meet with the groups at 2:30 this afternoon to discuss the minorities' two major complaints: financial aid cutbacks and the possible discontinuation' of academic probation in the literary college. "The 24 per cent tuition increase has made this University a uni- versity for the white upper-middle See BIAS, Page 2 documents Judge sets May 2 co piance deadline WASHINGTON (Y) - U. S. District Judge John Sirica yes- terday issued a subpoena ordering President Nixon to surren- der 64 tape recordings and documents to be used in the Water- gate cover-up trial of men who were once his top lieutenants. Sirica gave the White House until May 2 to comply. He ordered that the subpoena be served by U. S. marshals no later than 10 a.m. next Monday. SIRICA ACTED on a request by Special Watergate Prosecutor Leon Jaworski who said he needed the material for the conspiracy trial in- volving John Mitchell, H. R. Haldeman, John Ehrlichman, Charles Col- son and three others. The trial is scheduled before Sirica Sept. 9 There was no immediate word whether the White House,will comply 'The Dukes' hit the .Diag Students stepped sleepily home from their last few classes of the semester yesterday, but out on the Diag, the French Dukes - Ann Arbor's famed amateur drill team -- were stepping lively in their daily practice routine. The Dukes have toured the country under the sponsorship of the Model Cities Youth De- velopment Program. Drill captain Calvin Ross says he's going to challenge ROTC's Pershing Rifles to a match, and adds, "We got it all over them. We're so good, we don't need any rifles." with the latest legal effort to wrest Watergate information from the President. Deputy Press Secretary Gerald Warren said "the matter will be considered by the special counsel." THE SUBPOENA will be the third issued at the requestbof the special prosecutor's office. The White House fought the first one, last summer, until it lost before the U. S. Court of Appeals. It com- plied with a second one last month without a fight. The 64 conversations to be sub- poenaed span nearly a year's time - beginning with a meet- ing Nixon had with special coun- sel Colson on June 20, 1972, and ending with telephone conversa- tions the President had with Halde- man on June 4, 1973. Twenty - four of the conversa- tions sought are included in a sub- poena issued by the House Judic- iary Committee for its impeach- ment inquiry. That subpoena re- quires compliance by next Thurs- day. THE COMMITTEE'S chairman, Peter Rodino (D-N.J.), said in a television interview yesterday that any White House editing of the 42 conversations his committee sub- poenaed "could be considered a possible ground of impeachment." Rodino said he will not be satis- fied with excised versions and that it is necessary that Nixon comply fully with the subpoena. "Unless this is done," he said, "This is going to be considered by.

The original intent of the Bullard Action Now Group (BANG) appear- ed to be to donate the famous porno film's expected large box office to Bullard's campaign, but legal restrictions that prevent the use of University facilities for po- litical campaigning struck down that plan. ACCORDING to Roderick Daane, the University's general counsel, BANG was permitted to rent the Natural Science Aud. to show Deep Throat, but "agreed that none of the funds would be paid to Bullard for his political campaign." Daane added, however, that he couldn't "say they (BANG) won't See BANG, Page 2 SGC for i sues Hoffman misuse of I By PAUL TERWILLIGER Student Government C o u n c i 1 President Oarl Sandberg announced last night that he and several others had filed a civil complaint against SGC member Matt Hoff- man for misuse of SGC funds. The suit, filed in the 15th Judi- cial District Small Claims Court, alleges that Hoffman misappro- piated $120 that SGC had loaned Impeachment group organizes marches to the University Housing Council. HOWEVER, Hoffman claimed last night, "The money was legiti- mately appropriated by UHC and legitimately spent on an election I think was one of the cheapest and best run on this campus. SGC does not have a case." Hoffman got the $120 from the UHC last fall to run the group's elections. However, SGC member David Faye, co-sponsor of the com- plaint with Sandberg and Council member Eliot Chikofsky, contends that Hoffman's appointment as UHC election director was ruled illegal by the Central Student Ju- diciary (CSJ). The UHC received its funding in the form of a $500 loan from SGC. THE SUIT'S sponsors say CSJ ruled a UHC meeting at which Hoffman was appointed invalid, but Hoffman claims the meeting in- validated was not the one at which he was appointed. The complaint further contends that even if Hoffman got the money illegally, he transgressed in not providing an accounting of his THE STING Con artist bilks students funds In other action last night, SGC voted to hold a referendum on its constitution October 8, 9 and 10 and a general all-campus election during the preregistration period in December, 1974.

She then led the pair on an 11-day trek across the United States to the tune of more than $4,500 in expenses. The smooth-talking woman has used a similar and equally phony story to lure Michael Kubinski, presi- dent of the University chapter of Sigma Chi frater- nity, around the country - just as she has done to a dozen other students since her escape from a Colo- rado prison a year ago. Kubinski has been missing for three weeks and authorities, incltiding the FBI, have no real clue as Nothing new on Kubinski Local police reported "no new developments" yes- terday in their search for Mike Kubinski, president of Sigma Chi fraternity, who disappeared three weeks ago in a bizarre confidence game. The police, in conjunction with the FBI, have been trying to trace Kubinski, a senior at the University, through his credit card purchases of airline tickets. He is accompanied by Barbara Ierrella, a con-artist wanted for bilking a number of college students. THE POLICE have confirmed that Kubinski and
