'U' Doctors discover
nasal contraceptive

By MICHAEL WESTON
Researchers at University Hospital
said a nasal-spray contraceptive may
be available in the future which could
temporarily "shut-off" pituitary glands
in both men and women.
The nasal contraceptive would stop
ovulation for women and prevent
sperm production for men, said John
Marshall, professor of internal
medicine.
THE CONTRACEPTIVE worked
"too well," for males who were tested
in Sweden and caused sexual impoten-
se, Marshall said, adding that it would
take more research to control the drug
for men.
For women, he said "one sniff per
day can prevent ovulation." All of the
women tested in Sweden's research

returned to having normal periods after
using the chemical.
While the nasal spray has no side ef-
fects it isn't clear exactly how the
chemical - gonadotropin releasing
hormone (GnRH) - prevents sex hor-
mone secretions from the pituitary
gland, Marshall said.
MARSHALL'S RESEARCH has
shown that when the pituitary gland
receives larger than normal doses of
GnRH, which is secreted naturally by
the brain almost on the hour, the gland
shuts off, blocking ovulation and the
production of sperm.
"Since GnRH naturally occurs in the
body, the side-effects are zero," Mar-
shall said. "(The spray) manipulates
existing physiology rather than in-
troducing foreignhormones."

case.
Along with the dismissal motion,
Rutt's lawyers have filed for a court or-
der to grant them several federal
documents pertaining to the draft
which they say are vital to the defense
of the other three motions.
Many of the 126 documents are from
the White House, and the government
has refused to release them claiming
executive privilege. Lafferty says that
the governmerithas never gone through
the proper channels to claim that
privilege.
LAFFERTY will be basing many of
his arguments on a recent case of a
California draft resister, which a
federal judge dismissed after the
government refused to comply with a
court order to release documents
necessary for the man's defense.
The three remaining motions are
scheduled for hearings later this sum-
mer. The second motion charges that
the presidential proclamation and the

regulation ordering registration are
illegal because they were not listed in
the Federal Register for long enough
before they went into effect.
The Register is printed by the gover-
nment to make the public aware of
federal statutes and to allow time for
debate.
The third motion questions the right
of the federal government to continue to
charge draft resisters for failure to
register even after they have been in-
dicted. Rutt, for example, has been
charged with failing to register with the
time frame of one month before or after
his eighteenth birthday, and is charged
for every day he fails to register.
During the Vietnam War, draft-
eligible men who refused to register
were often jailed several times if they
did not register after they were sent to
prison and released, Lafferty said.
The fourth motion charges that the
government has discriminated against
Rutt, since he was singled out from the
nearly one million eligible men who
have not registered.

TODAY
Credit in advance
F JOHNNY is to grow up and receive a University of Wisconsin education,
now might be a good time for his parents to start paying for it, a Wisconsin
lawmaker figures. But a plan that would allow parents to purchase univer-
sity class credits in advance - in effect, paying tuition now for their
youngsters to attend class later - was returned to state Rep. Marlin
Schneider after it met a hostile reception last week from the legislature's
Joint Finance Committee. Its detractors said the plan could result in the
university issuing the kind of gift certificates that hamburger chains and
department stores give out. But Schneider disagreed, saying, "You can
make fun of the idea if you want, but it makes a lot more sense than some of
the silly things that are purchased at Christmas time.
