Dear Mr. Klotsche:
September 7, 1970
In response to your letter of September 1, directed to Mr.
Armando Orellana, and regarding our demands and negotiations
for a Spanish Speaking Outreach Institute at the University of
Wisconsin-Milwaukee, we are very frankly dissatisfied with your
lack of commitment.
Although you mention that UW-M "recognizes its obligation
to meet the special educational needs of Spanish Speaking citizens",
not once in your letter did you refer to the "Institute" that we
are demanding as a solution to those problems. This is quite
contradictory to the statements made, in writing, on August 27,
by your own Assistants Eley and Spaights, and Dean Davis--in
which they "support the concept" of the Institute.
Regarding the "special programs" which included Spanishspeaking
students, we want to bring to your attention the fact
that the need for a separate Institute came about because those
special programs are ~ meeting the unique needs of the Spanishspeaking.
Also, if you will check the statistics on enrollment,
you will find that the percentage of Spanish Speaking students
from the Latin community is very low. In fact, we would challenge
the number of "100" which you said was the approximate enrollment
last year.
In all cases where you commit yourself to a number of Latin
students to be accepted during the present fiscal year, you indicate
that they will be accepted in existing programs. We are
not asking for "slots" in any existing program--we are requesting
a separate and independent Institute which will involve the entire
University, and facilitate higher education for the Spanish-speaking
community.
You did not commit yourself to provide financial aid in any
specified amount; nor did you indicate the kind of aid that might
be made available. If you say that there is no money available,
we don't accept that; since we have seen in the past that under
certain circumstances, money is made available v.ery quickly and
in large amounts.
Mr. J. Martin Klotsche, page 2.
The greatest educational need among the Latin community at
present, as we discussed earlier, is at the undergraduate level.
This will be the emphasis of the Institute. However, when you
say that "graduate students will continue to be admitted on an
individual basis", you are actually saying nothing at all. That
is in no way different from the present situation.
Regarding the 25 to 30 Latins to be "included in the high
school equivalency program", we certainly would like a clarification
of that point. We do not feel there is any such program
at UW-M which adequately meets the needs of the Latin community.
Even if you concede that a certain number of Latin students
will be admitted to the University this year, you have made no
commitment regarding the special kinds of needs which we feel
can be met only through the Institute we want to establish.
These needs include individual attention to each student, special
tutoring and counseling--things which are not usually necessary
for the majority of students, but are essential for the student
who may be getting his first opportunity for higher education.
We feel that such a request should not even be considered out-ofthe-
ordinary.
You were not very clear about the responsibilities and activities
of the "UWM team of four specialists" which would go into
the Latin community to "give advice on academic and financial
matters". We questioned whether this would be a part of your
staff temporarily located in the Latin community, in relation
to the establishing of an office on the South Side-- or whether
the team was designed just to make a few visits and leave. In
any event, since the only things that this team could do at present
would be to inform people of existing programs and try to
fill existing "slots", we do not accept the team. When the concept
of the Institute is accepted and it begins to be put together,
there is ~ possibility of such a team being somewhat functional-but
until then, we will ~ha v e gained nothing.
Your comments about a "special assistant" also left us with
several questions. First of all, what would be this assistant's
range of duties, responsibilities, and authority -- especially in
relation to the Assistant which you already have, who is supposed
to be dealing with minority groups? And if he is appointed by you,
without even the approval of the Latin community, how do we know
that he will do the kind of job that must be done? Our conditions
are that he be chosen by CELA -- not only recommended, but approved
for the position.
Regarding our demands for special courses, academic programs,
and academic credit for field work in the community, you re,erred
us to the individual Schools and Deans to make those arrangements.
Mr. J. Martin Klotsche, page 3.
Again, we want to bring to your attention that one of the major
purposes of the Institute would be to deal with each of the Schools
and components of the University, to meet our needs. If some of
the groundwork must be done pripr to that, we feel that you have
some responsibility for getting us together with the right people.
And we do expect that you will follow through with your commitment
to "recommend that the individual units undertake the development
of appropriate special programs.u
In the last paragraph of your letter, as in the first, you
"emphasize the desire of the University to cooperate with Spanishspeaking
'citizens' [members of the Latin community] in creating
ways to provide the educational programs which they seek". Mr.
Klotsche , we have not yet seen on your part any real attempt to
create anything new. It is "business as usual" for the University.
The Latin community is not satisfied.
We are requesting a meeting with you this Friday, Seltember 11,
at 10:00 a.m. to continue negotiations. This is a crucia issue,
and we are not willing to let it be postponed or put aside any
longer.

The Arab Spring and the return intention of Egyptian migrants living in Italy
No full textThe widespread enthusiasm triggered by the Arab Spring affected both first- and second-generation Egyptians in Italy and led to different forms of action and socio-political participation. However, to what extent this new enthusiasm will transform into a real consideration of returning to Egypt is a largely unexplored topic. Relying on the main migration theories, we address the following research questions: which traditional theoretical arguments apply to the intention to return of first- and second-generation Egyptians in Italy? Do the changes in Egypt after the Arab Spring strengthen their intention to return? Data come from qualitative interviews, conducted between 2011 –2013, with Egyptians in Turin and Rome. The results show that transnational ties strengthened by the Arab Spring do support the idea of returning, although a definitive return will probably not occur, neither for the first nor for the second generation, but rather they will adopt a transnational way of living

Therapeutic strategies for ovulation induction in infertile women with polycystic ovary syndrome
No full textPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a heterogeneous disorder characterized by hirsutism, obesity, hyperandrogenism and insulin resistance. The syndrome is often accompanied by infertility because of anovulation. Many approaches have been proposed to solve this problem, with the most commonly used therapies being ovarian drilling and pharmacological ovulation induction. Ovarian drilling is a procedure in which a laser fiber or electro-surgical needle punctures the ovary four to ten times. Side-effects are rare and often related to surgery itself. Pharmacological strategies include administration of metformin and insulin-sensitizing agents, clomiphene citrate (CC), gonadotropins and aromatase inhibitors. Metformin appears valuable in increasing ovulation rate, menstrual cyclicity and pregnancy rate. CC is an oral estrogen antagonist that raises circulating concentrations of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and induces follicular growth in most women with PCOS and anovulation. Failure to respond is associated with high body mass index and high androgen levels. Aromatase inhibitors mimic the central reduction of negative feedback through which CC works. Ovulation induction with recombinant FSH has proved successful, but treatment requires skill and experience to avoid multiple pregnancies and ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. The hypothetical deleterious effects of the high luteinizing hormone concentrations observed in PCOS patients seem to be related to the concomitant hyperinsulinemia (and/or insulin resistance). A thorough understanding of the syndrome and a careful assessment of each patient are the mainstays for choosing an appropriate treatment regimen

No full textMenopause and mental well-being: timing of symptoms and timing of hormone treatment.
No full textIn the aftermath of the Women's Health Initiative studies, both the clinical and basic science communities had to sort out divergent results among experimental findings, observational data and randomized controlled trials in order to establish a shared analysis. The scientific community formally debates the role of different HRT formulations, hormone doses, time of treatment initiation since the menopause and the age of treated women. Basic scientists demonstrated that the multiple neuroprotective effects of estrogen on brain cells may induce a differential biological response according to the time of treatment. Progesterone (but not all synthetic progestins) also has pivotal neuroactive functions in animal models of reproductive aging. Additionally, epidemiological surveys provide information regarding the detrimental role of hypogonadism on mental well-being. The present article briefly summarizes current evidence supporting the neuroactive role of estrogen, with reference to the clinical finding sustaining the intriguing hypothesis of the early female brain senescence as a highly responsive period to estrogen treatment
