XC, No.89 Ann Arbor, Michigan-Saturday, January 19, 1980 Ten Cents Eight Pages n 'U' doctors: Perfection of male By LISA LAVA-KELL'AR Although the birth control pill has been available for 15 years, it may be a decade before American men have access to a 'pill' of their own, according to University urologists. 'The problem is not the initial development of a birth control pill, per se," said Dr. Robert Anderson, a University urologist and Health Service physician. "But rather, what to do about the complications arising as a result of the pill." TWO MAJOR problems, said Anderson, are the irreversible consequences of the pill and its side-effects. "Sperm cease to be manufactured as a result of several potential birth control pills. If the ef- feet is irreversible, however, the testes can never regenerate sperm. Like driving down a one-way street, you can't go back," he said. Harmful side-effects pose problems similar to those encountered by females taking 'the pill' such as renal failure, a decrease in libido, and abnormal breast enlargement, Anderson said. When taken with alcohol, he added, some pills for males also cause nausea. ANOTHER UROLOGIST points to what he calls less obvious complications of the pill for males. "A conservative Food and Drug Ad- ministration (FDA) approves very few drugs," said Dr. John Konnak, urologist and surgeon at University Hospital. "It is my guess that 'the pill' (for women) would not be granted ap- proval if it were brought before the FDA today." Too many risks exist that cannot be predetermined in the development of any drug, Konnak said. HE SAID the FDA wants to avoid another situation similar to the one involving Stilbesterol, a drug used during the 1960s to prevent miscarriages. "A large percentage of the female offspring S ill' Ion of women who were given Stilbesterol now have vaginal cancer," he said. "The FDA is taking every precaution to avoid this predicament." Researchers find themselves in another kind of predicament, according to Konnak. "The male reproductive system is not as well-researched as that of the female," he said. "We simply do not know as much about males as we should.", WHILE UROLOGISTS know there must be a correlation between the number of sperm produced and the production signals sent by the pituitary gland, the nature of the relationship g way off remains a mystery, according to Konnak. "Connections in the female are easier to establish because the changes in the pituitary are predicatable and measureable. One can predict when ovulation will occur," he said. While Konnak acknowledges these problems persists, he said males don't have adequate birth control alternatives. "WE HAVE TWO extremes. At one end is the condom, the oldest method. There are inherent risks in using this type of birth control, but the only other alternative is vasectomy." Although vasectomy is reported to be 100 per See DEVELOPMENT, Page 8 Congress to hurry on aid to Pakistan Ship slams into bridge AP Photo Debris covers a Norwegian-owned freighter after it crashed into the Almo Bridge on Sweden's west coast yesterday.

TO BRING PR OPOSAL FOR 'SPIRITUAL SOL UTION': WASHINGTON (AP) -Congressional leaders agreed yesterday on an ac- celerated legislative timetable that would allow the Carter administration to resume U.S. economic and military aid to Pakistan as early as February. With Soviet helicopter gunships and tanks reportedly pursuing Moslem rebels in Afghanistan close to the bor- der with Pakistan, Rep. Clement Zablocki (D-Wis.) said fast congressional approval of the first $200 million of the administration's two-year $400-million aid plan was essential. PAKISTAN'S PRESIDENT, Gen. Mohammed Zia ul-Haq, belittled the $400 million U.S. aide plan in Rawalpindi Thursday as "peanuts" and "terribly disappointing." He said Pakistan "will not buy its security with $400 million," but the sum "will buy greater animosity from the Soviet Union." Zia said -Pakistan needs warplanes, ground-to-air missiles, anti-tank weapons and communications systems to strengthen defenses along its western border w.ith Afghanistan. Stressing the particular need for com- munications and radar equipment, he. said: "We are blind on our west totally." U.S. officials said privately yester- day that Zia's remarks probably were a bargaining ploy intended to pry ad- ditional aid out of the United States. PAKISTAN WAS reported yesterday to have sent thousands of troops to its border with Afghanistan where Moslem Afghan rebels were said to be retreating from Soviet helicopter gun- ships and tanks. The United News of India quoted military observers in Kabul, the Afghan capital, as saying about seven divisions of Pakistani troops were at the Afghanistan border. It also reported Pakistan has moved a large armored force near the border, and that all Pakistan air bases in the area were put on alert. "They need the equipment," Zablocki, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said in an interview. He was referring to defense supplies to meet any Soviet military threat. Administration officials have told congressmen the military package will include credits for purchase of anti-air- craft and anti-tank weapons and such economic assistance as fertilizer. Details were still being worked out, Poli.s Sci. professor, students foresaw A fghanistan invasion said a Zablocki aide. THE FIRST $200 million installment will be half military and half economic aid. Zablocki said his committee may approve the proposal within two weeks, and leadership aides said it will come up quickly forHouse and Senate floor votes.

At the same time, U.N. officials r dashed speculation about another possible avenue of negotiation - a new mediation mission to Tehran by Secretary General Kurt Waldheim. IRAN'S FOREIGN minister, mean- while, expressed concern about the esence of Soviet troops in western fghanistan, near Iran's northeast, t border. And in Washington, President t Carter's chief spokesperson described Iran as a nation "on the verge almost of disintegration" and said the United States would go ahead with new economic sanctions to try to pressure the Iranians into freeing the 50 or so Americans held prisoner at the Tehran embassy. It was the 76th day of captivity for the stages. It .also was the day that merican journalists, barred from reporting from Iran since last Tuesday, were to leave the country under an ex- pulsion order issued by Khomeini's ruling Revolutionary Council. Some were allowed to stay on a day or two longer to wrap lip their offices' affairs. Foreign Minister Sadegh Ghotbzadeh claimed at a news conference reported by Tehran radio and monitored in await that the United States is ocking efforts by Waldheim to set up a U.N. commission of inquiry to examine Iran's accusations against deposed Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, now living in Panama.

F THE clergymen, the Rev. Moore, a Baptist, said in a interview they plan to travel Khomeini's headquarters city south of Tehran, today and i sit Iran hope to meet with the revolutionary leader. Moore said the Moslem militants holding the embassy told him Khomeini would meet only with spiritual leaders to discuss the crisis. The Iranian revolutionaries also have shown some favor toward blacks and other American minority groups. But Moore conceded there is no guarantee the meeting with Khomeini will take place. "WE'RE GOING to suggest a plan for releasing the hostages," he said. "We're dealing with him on a spiritual level because it is a spiritual crisis rather than a political one." He would not discuss details of their proposal. By STEVE HOOK The Soviet invasion of Afghanistan may well have shocked President Car- ter, State Department officials, and others who have a hand inglobal relations. But University Prof. Allen Whiting, an East Asia expert, and many of his students should have been among the least surprised of anyone when Russians pushed their way across the Afghan border. Whiting saw it coming as early as October. LAST TERM, Whiting painted a scenario for students in his Inter- national. Relations of East Asia class which pre-dated January 15, 1980. The students, acting as diplomats from various nations, carried out discussions based upon Whiting's predictions of the Russian invasion and darkening of prospects for SALT II. "The treaty's fate remains in doubt," the scenario concluded, "with a fresh wave of opposition resulting from the intervention by Soviet military forces in the Afghanistan civil war." Reflecting yesterday on the accuracy of his prediction, Whiting said it was all in the cards. "IT WAS A logical sequence of events that began last summer," the trim, white-haired professor explained. "Afghanistan was already under dominant Soviet influence because the United States had lined up with Paki- stan and Iran. He said since the Afghan rebels over- threw the monarchy of King Daud in 1978, Soviet dominance has increased dramatically. "The coup gave them both the opportunity and the obligation tb help the lefists establish a new regime." When the new regime floundered in the midst of Muslim dissension and economic troubles, according to Whiting, the Soviets had "a very clear choice. Either the Russians would have to go in stronger and asert their in- fluence more, or they would have to back out altogether."

Yesterday morning, Acting Flint Chancellor William Vasse dutifully hauled not only samples of bricks but also aluminum and glass bricks to the meeting. Regent Robert Nederlander (D-Briminghom) confessed that looking at the real thing "doesn't help." Regent Paul Brown (D-Petoskey) unconditionally rejected the glass bricks, saying "I don't like glass bricks, and I don't like anything I've seen that's used them." Regent Deane Baker (R-Ann Arbor) expressed his distaste for the "shiny aluminum" planned for the building. His colleagues agreed, and the aluminum bit the dust.

A number of Lansing residents and city officials were outraged whensa recent edition of the weekly "Editorial Weiss Cracks" show, carried on cable from East Lansing, featured a photograph of a nude woman and a string of vulgar language. The program infuriated Lansing city lighters blowing up in your face and frying your eyebrows the night before some heavy date. Well, the Department of Labor says you can relax. The federal agency reported there is no evidence to back claims that workers have been killed when the lighters exploded. Furthermore, several firms where the accidents were rumored to have occurred said they had no records of the incidents. The department explained that the lighters hold little over an ounce of butane fuel and have little force in an explosion.
