Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Thursday, June 2, 1983 '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." Decision expected by August for registration resister tt,--f; -..-A f.-- 0- 1 1 (Continued from Page1) 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.
