Abstract
We consider the leading twist -odd contributions as the dominant source of the azimuthal asymmetry in unpolarized dilepton production in Drell-Yan Scattering. This asymmetry contains information on the distribution of quark transverse spin in an unpolarized proton. In a parton-spectator framework we estimate these asymmetries at center of mass energy. This azimuthal asymmetry is interesting in light of proposed experiments at GSI, where an anti-proton beam is ideal for studying the transversity properties of quarks due to the dominance of {\em valence} quark effects.
