The University of Toledo’s current ViceProvost of Faculty Development, Earl MurryPh.D., has recently filed a discriminationlawsuit in U.S. District Court for the NorthernDistrict of Ohio, in Toledo, against the uni-versity alleging that he has not only beenforced to work in a racially hostile environ-ment, but that the policies of the universitypromote and sustain such an environment.
A spokesman for UT addressed Murry’sclaims stating, “The University of Toledostrongly denies the allegations of discrimi-nation made by Dr. Earl Murry. The Univer-sity will vigorously defend itself againstthese allegations.”
An employee since 1987, Dr. Murry hasworked his way up through the ranks of boththe teaching and administrative staff and hasreceived tenure.
Dr. Murry served as interim assistant to

Vice Provost claims discrimination by theUniversity of Toledo(Continued from Page 1)
Murry was appointed tohis current position duringPresident Vik Kapoor’s ad-ministration. Kapoor was theonly minority to hold theposition in the universityhistory.
Since that time, recordsshow that Murry has ex-ecuted his duties in exem-plary fashion, consistentlyreceiving merit raises andrated as “outstanding “ re-views from his supervisors.
It had been a goal of theKapoor administration tocontinue with the efforts ofdiversification as begun dur-ing the Horton administra-tion, which Murry admiredand complimented.
According to Dr. Murry,64, his filing stems largelyfrom actions taken by interimPresident William Decaturafter the remainder ofKapoor’s contract wasbought out after less thantwo years in office.
Murry claims that follow-ing Kapoor’s departure,many of the minority appoin-tees who had received posi-tions under Kapoor, were tar-geted by the Faculty Unionand Faculty Senate for re-moval, non-reappointmentor non-selection during theDecatur administration.
Murry, an African Ameri-can, says that when Decaturtook over, his salary becamethe lowest of the university’sfive Vice Provosts, four ofwhom were white.
Decatur is also named asa defendant in the case.
Murry believes that hisassertions of disparate treat-ment are further supported
by what he calls an attempt bythe Faculty Senate to oust himfrom his position in May of2001 by censuring him forincompetent performance ofcertain reputed job duties.
Murry maintains that heobjected and informed the Fac-ulty Senate that it had no juris-diction to reprimand him forduties which were not assignedto his office. Nevertheless,Murry claims that a secret votewas taken and the resolutionwas passed, after which a storyabout the censuring appearedin The Blade, damaging hisprofessional reputation.
Murry’s lawsuit allegesthat despite his request thatUT provide the media with thecorrect facts—that the dutieswere not his to perform—Decatur refused to allow therelease of any clarifying state-ments.
In his term in office, Murry’sresponsibilities have in-cluded collective bargainingand labor relations with theUT-AAUP, and he has neverlost a grievance in arbitration,nor lost an unfair labor prac-tice case before the State Em-ployment Board.
Current UT PresidentDaniel Johnson and UT Pro-vost Alan Goodridge, Murry’simmediate supervisor, are alsonamed as defendants in thesuit resulting from the place-ment of advertisements for newfaculty recruits while nego-tiations were ongoing in acollective bargaining agree-ment with the university’sadjunct faculty.
Murry said that he and act-ing Provost William Free weredirected by President Johnsonto place the ads, which were
seen as destructive by thefaculty to the active bargain-ing and were not discussedwith the Faculty Senate. Theadjunct faculty was not pro-hibited from applying to thepositions.
When questioned aboutthe order to place the adver-tisements by the Faculty Sen-ate, Johnson denied givingthe order, which, accordingto Murry, could only comefrom the university’s presi-dent.
Although the Universityof Toledo has maintainedacademic accreditation withthe NCA, the commission, ina 1992 review, criticized UTfor the inadequate participa-tion of women and minori-ties:
“Although the Universityof Toledo has made consid-erable progress in the past 10years, there is a clear evi-dence that the positions ofAfrican Americans, Latinos,and women have remainedrelatively unchanged despiteoptimistic University goals.
“African Americansseem to be disproportion-ately concentrated in thelowest paid occupationalcategories. African Ameri-cans constitute 32 percentof the maintenance staff, butless than 4 percent of thefaculty and skilled craftworkers, and less than 3 per-cent of specialists. Out of 33technical and paraprofes-sional positions, none areheld by African American.”
Current statistics receivedfrom UT show that 45 of the1221 instructional faculty atUT are African American, 13are Latino, and 485 arewomen.
HAVANA (AP): About 50Cuban dissidents held a meet-ing of what a leader called an“alternative parliament” onTuesday in celebration of in-ternational Human Rights Day.
Marta Beatriz Roque, whohosted the event in her home,said the Assembly to PromoteCivil Society was meant tounite 341 small dissidentgroups across Cuba.
“This is the first time thatthe assembly has had a massmeeting,” she said. “But theobjective is to join the 341organizations so that, in ademocratic way, these asso-ciations elect someone to leadthem.” Roque estimated thegroups together have about5,000 members.
The loosely organizedgathering lasted a few hours,with people coming and go-ing, and broke up around noon.Reporters saw about 50people. Even at that size, itwas an unusually large andpublic gathering of dissidentsin Cuba.
“It is an achievement to beable to gather such a largeforce of the opposition,”Roque told reporters.
Roque herself was amongfour dissidents arrested in July1997 for publishing a docu-ment that criticized Cuba’sCommunist Party and Presi-dent Fidel Castro’s govern-ment. Convicted of incitementto sedition, Roque was freedin May 2000
She announced formationof the assembly in October,saying it was open to all dissi-dent groups in Cuba.
Among those on handTuesday was GonzaloGallegos, the press attachéfrom the U.S. Interests Sec-tion in Havana.
Cuba’s government rou-tinely accuses the InterestsSection of financing and or-ganizing dissent. Roque in-sisted that Gallegos’ pres-ence would not reinforce theofficial accusations, whichshe and most other dissidentsdeny.
“We invited a lot of diplo-mats. Our relations are withthe world, not only with theUnited States,” she said. “Butunfortunately they have notbeen able to be with us.”
Roque said a security of-ficial visited her on Mondaynight and asked her to “main-tain discipline.” She said shetook that as official permis-sion for the meeting.
‘Alternative parliament’ of dissidents meets inCubaBy ANDREA RODRIGUEZAssociated Press Writer
This week in La Prensa,we have examined the cir-cumstances of a law suit di-rected against the Universityof Toledo by an African-American professor whoclaims that that institution’sracially-tense atmosphereprevents the hiring and re-tention of minority profes-sors.
Certainly the numbers ofminority professors at UT aretroubling. However, the num-bers indicate that the univer-sity is not particularly out ofstep with the national statisticson minority faculty hiring.
Those numbers show thatinstitutions all over the coun-try have made little progressin improving multi-culturaldiversity in their facultyranks.
Several years ago, two ten-
Latinos in Higher Education—An EditorialBy Fletcher WordLa Prensa Staff Writer
ured Latino professors re-signed from positions with theUniversity of California atBerkeley to protest the underrepresentation of Latinos onthe faculty. In California, oneof the professors noted at thattime, Latinos make up 29 per-cent of the population and onlythree percent of the tenuredfaculty at Berkeley. The per-centage of the Latino popula-tion has increased over thepast few years, but it has notbeen reflected in the Berkeleyfaculty numbers.
From California to Dela-ware, Latino representationamong tenured and tenured-track faculty is a dismal re-minder of the failure of highereducation to attract minori-ties to positions which are in-strumental in setting thenation’s intellectual agenda.
The fact is that Latinoscomprise less than three per-
cent of all instructional posi-tions on campus and onlyabout one and a half percentof the tenured, full professorrank. And, unfortunately, thedearth of Latino instructorson a campus means that thetask of attracting Latino stu-dents is made no easier for aninstitution that is attemptingto correct those numbers.
It remains to be seen in thelegal arena whether or notthe University of Toledo hasa problem specifically withDr. Murry, but it is a problemthey share with the rest of theacademic world.

BOGOTA (AP): Elcongreso colombiano aprobóla noche del miércoles, enúltimo debate, la prorroga deuna ley de orden público quepermite al gobierno iniciardiálogos con los gruposguerrilleros y paramilitares.
La ley faculta al presidenteAlvaro Uribe para crear zonasdesmilitarizadas a fin de iniciareventuales negociaciones depaz con cualquiera de losgrupos armados ilegales queoperan en este país.
Los legisladores, sin em-bargo, condicionaron lacreación de esas áreas: lasautoridades judiciales nopodrán estar ausentes de lasregiones, como ocurrió con lallamada zona de distensióndonde permanecieron por masde tres años las Fuerzas Arma-das Revolucionarias de Co-lombia (FARC), al sur del país.
Asimismo, dispusieron unanorma que permite incluir amenores de edad en procesosde indulto con los gruposilegales.
Anteriormente el congresohabía aprobado la eliminaciónde un requisito previo queexigía a los grupos armados serreconocidos con statuspolítico.
Las negociaciones con lasFARC en el gobierno del expresidente Andrés Pastrana,fracasaron tras numerosasdemostraciones de falta devoluntad política de este grupopara lograr una paz duradera.

To the Editor of La Prensa:
Latinos are the invisible souls regarding mainstreamAmerica’s TV commercials and programs. We purchaseautos, appliances, and just about every consumer goodavailable in this country. Why aren’t Latino men, women,and children depicted on TV as viable contributors to thenation’s economy?
It’s a consumer-based economy and Latinos buy, buy,and buy; just like whites and blacks.
Turn on almost any program on TV and what do you see?Predominately white males cast in the lead roles. There aretwo talented Latino women playing the wives of white menwho, as always, are the main focus of two popular andsuccessful sit-coms—The King of Queens and EverybodyLoves Raymond.
But the two Latinas are cast as white women. Why? Issomeone trying to yank our chains and dictate the rules ofmarriage? Or is it because the network’s top brass believethat Latinas aren’t as intelligent, beautiful, and loving astheir white counterparts? I suggest we boycott the sponsorsof programs that escalate such ludicrous myths.
Sincerely,

HAVANA (AP): A U.S.congressman said Saturdaythat support is growing foran end to the ban on U.S.travel to Cuba and the lawcould be changed withintwo years.

CARACAS (AP): SinSanta Claus, sin arbolesnavideños ni guirnaldasrojiverdes, los venezolanosse acercan a la Navidad enmedio de marchas ycacerolazos con los queopositores y oficialistas setrenzan en una lucha por elcontrol de las calles.
Con 13 días de unaparalización nacional,convocada por la oposiciónpara obligar al presidenteHugo Chávez a que renuncieo convoque eleccionesinmediatas, no hay indiciosde que se esté cerca de unarreglo negociado entre laspartes en conflicto.
«Chávez no nos dejes sinNavidad, renuncia!», se leíaen un cartel llevado por unamanifestante opositora, enuna de tantas noches de«cacerolazos», que cada vezcon más fuerza se dejan oíra sólo 11 días de lacelebración navideña.
El mensaje parecetraducir la intención delos oponentes del
Crisis amenaza celebraciones navideñasPor CARLA SALAZAR presidente, de mantener el
paro y las protestas, asípierdan la oportunidad decelebrar la Navidad en suscasas.
«Yo creo que noscomeremos nuestras‘hallacas’ el 24 en la cena deNavidad sin este señor»,manifestó el taxista JoséAlvarez, aludiendo a Chávezy al plato navideño típico deVenezuela.
Del mismo modo, lossimpatizantes delgobernante venezolano—en su gran mayoríaprovenientes de los sectorespopulares—dicen quepasarán la noche de Navidaden la calle con tal de de-fender la vigencia de su líder,al que idolatran como el pro-motor de una democraciapara los pobres.
«Yo lo pasaría en la calleporque tengo que defenderesto con honor», dijo LuisAlberto Cuicas de 36 años,en las afueras del palaciopresidencial de Miraflores.
Otra manifestante dijo,«no sólo la Navidad, sino
también la Semana Santa, todo.Vamos a defender lademocracia».
Las grandes centroscomerciales de Caracas estáncerrados desde el inicio delparo. El comercio ha quedadoreducido a los pequeñosnegocios familiares y a losvendedores ambulantes, cuyonúmero es significativamentemenor al de años pasados.
A estas alturas dediciembre, las tiendas lucíanabarrotadas de gentecomprando regaloscompulsivamente, pero hoyel país está paralizado por unacrisis política y económicaque podría conducir a su de-bacle financiera.
La crisis y el paro afectaronla vital industria petrolera, lacual representa un 75 porciento de las exportacionesnacionales y la mitad de losingresos del gobierno, y cuyaproducción quedósuspendida en 86%, según undirigente sindical petroleroJuan Fernández.
También semiparalizó labanca, provocó la suspensión
de las clases escolares, y eldesabastecimiento de lastiendas de comestibles y laescasez de gasolina son cadavez más evidentes.
Chávez no admite laexistencia del paro y afirmaque ha fracasado la campañade la oposición.
«Fracasaron nuevamentequienes hicieron todo lo quepudieron para tratar derobarle al país su Navidad, supaz, su alegría», sostieneChávez, quien acusa a losmedios de comunicación depromover mediáticamente elparo.
Las negociaciones,auspiciadas por el secretariogeneral de la Organizaciónde Estados Americanos(OEA), César Gaviria, apenasregistran avances.
La posibilidad de unacuerdo es todavía lejana, haadmitido Gaviria.
El viernes, EstadosUnidos tuvo una posiciónmás firme en el casovenezolano, el que veníatratando cautelosamente, yse pronunció por eleccionesanticipadas como salida parasuperar la crisis.
U.S. Congressman says ban on Cuba travelcould fall within two yearsBy JOHN RICEAssociated Press Writer
is pushing a broad series ofreforms to ease limits on U.S.dealings with Cuba, said hebelieves that the two-thirdsmajority needed to overridea presidential veto could oc-cur within the next two years.
The Cuba Working Groupalso calls for allowing lettingCuban-Americans send moremoney to the island, cuttingfunds to TV and Radio Martiand for expanded coopera-tion in drug-fighting and othersecurity matters.
“There now is a criticalmass in the U.S. Senate andthe U.S. House to seek nor-mal relations between theUnited States and Cuba,” hesaid at a news conference.
Delahunt was in Havanafor ceremonies marking thefirst anniversary of the firstU.S. food shipments to Cubain four decades, an event thatfollowed a congressional vote
to relax that part of the web ofU.S. embargo laws.
He also talked about anearlier meeting with CubanPresident Fidel Castro atwhich he warned that the lift-ing of the travel ban wouldmean an invasion of sorts.
“Once the travel restric-tions were removed, we had asecret weapon: the kids onspring break,” he said. “Theresponse of President Castrowas he raised his hands andsaid, ‘I surrender.’”
Pedro Alvarez, head of theCuban government food im-port concern Alimport, saidCuba already has paid $174million for U.S. food over thepast year and will pay another$15 million by the end of theyear.
“It has been demonstratedthat we want relations with theUnited States,” Alvarez said,urging an end to U.S. trade andinvestment restrictions in Cuba.

The idea for the assemblywas conceived by CCHS se-nior Irene Mineoi and wasplanned entirely by stu-dents. Some of the activitiesincluded: ImagenesMexicanas dances from theMexican states ofTamaulipas, Veracruz, andJalisco; music by flamencoguitarist Juan Ramirez; andan explanation of the Virginof Guadalupe story by Fr.Richard Notter, pastor of SS.Peter and Paul Parish. Therewas also a bilingual masscelebrated in honor of thefeast day in the school’schapel.
Our Lady of Guadalupeis patron of the Americas.
Central Catholic celebrates Feastof Our Lady of Guadalupe(Continued from Page 1) Her feast day recalls the
Blessed Virgin’s appearance,which led to six million na-tive Mexicans becomingbaptized as Christians.
The event was a smallerversion of annual commemo-rations that draw hugethrongs in México, whereaccording to tradition, thedark-skinned virgin ap-peared to a poor Indian, JuanDiego, on Dec. 12, 1531, andleft her image imprinted onhis cloak.
Editor’s Note: Mezcla isthe Spanish word for“mixed,” which is an appro-priate description of the stu-dent club that includesLatino, African American,and other students.

OSLO (AP): El expresidente norteamericanoJimmy Carter aceptó elmartes el Premio Nobel de laPaz, pidiendo al gobierno desu país que evite una guerracon Irak y al público quetrabaje por la concordia enun mundo que se ha tornado«un lugar más peligroso».
Carter, un demócrata,pidió repetidamente alpresidente norteamericanoGeorge W. Bush que recurraa la colaboración y buenosoficios de las NacionesUnidas, y que respalde lasinspecciones de armamentoque realizan los equipos delorganismo mundial en Irak.
El ex mandatario, de 78años, fue galardonado por sulabor en favor de la paz, lasalud y los derechoshumanos, que comenzó conlos acuerdos de paz de 1978
en Camp David entre Israel yEgipto y que, a no ser por unaformalidad, habría recibidohace 24 años.
Carter aceptó una medallade oro, un diploma y un chequepor 10 millones de coronasdanesas (un millón de dólares).
Carter, con una ampliasonrisa, permanecióbrevemente en el estrado ymostró la medalla de oro y eldiploma entre los nutridosaplausos de los asistentes.
Carter aceptó el premio enun mundo que encara laamenaza del terrorismo y laposibilidad de una nuevaguerra con Irak si no cumplecon las resoluciones delConsejo de Seguridad de laONU para demostrar quecarece de armas de destrucciónmasiva.
«En lugar de entrar en unmilenio de paz, el mundo esahora, en muchos aspectos, un
lugar más peligroso. La granmejora en los desplaza-mientos y comunicaciones noha sido igualada por la mismacomprensión y respetomutuo», agregó el exmandatario.
Antes de llegar al ayun-tamiento de Oslo, Carter fuerecibido por casi 2.000 niñosnoruegos.
«Noruega es un país queaprecia grandemente a susniños, y deseo felicitar a estepaís y a todos ustedes», dijoCarter a los entusiasmadosniños.
En su discurso,pronunciado ante el reyHarald V, los hijos y nietos delex mandatario, Carter seexplayó sobre el flagelo de laguerra.
«La guerra quizá sea enocasiones un mal necesario.Pero no importa cuánnecesario, es siempre un mal,
nunca un bien. Noaprenderemos a vivir juntosen paz matando a los hijos deunos y otros».
El ex mandatario pidiórespeto por las NacionesUnidas como un forointernacional parasolucionar la disputas, yagregó que Estados Unidos,como última superpotencia,no «da por sentado que lasuperfortaleza garantiza lasupersabiduría».
Los Nobel, otorgados porprimera vez en 1901, fueroncreados por el ingeniero suecoAlfred Nobel. Son entregadosel 10 de diciembre, en elaniversario de su muerte en1896.
El premio Nobel de la pazen otorgado en Oslo, mientrasque los de economía,medicina, física, química yliteratura son entregados enSuecia.

For more informationon how to place your
business in ourdirectory see page 9
ARIES: (March 21-April 20)Timing seems to be very good, so it’s best to take
advantage of promoting a business ideas or career advance-ment. Devote a majority of your efforts to job interests andyou’ll be amazed at just how much is accomplished.
TAURUS: (April 21 - May 21)Misleading news about those close to you may arise. Be
on guard and make no decisions until you have all the factsstraight. Self-interest will motivate you, although you maybe torn between wanting to excel in a particular matter, orshare the spotlight.
GEMINI: (May 22 - June 21)Travel is in the works; make sure to plan your itinerary
carefully, creating some time for pleasure. You’ll come upwith an idea concerning business or relationship intereststhat may sound great, but don’t expect everyone else to shareyour interest.
CANCER: (June 22 - July 23)Your view of the immediate future will benefit your
ability to firm up romantic ties, and encourage supervisorsat work to have added confidence in you. This dependabilityyou portray inspires faith into those who surround you.Guard against poor judgment.
LEO: (July 24- August 23)Try to modify your views, if necessary, to ensure peace on
the home front. Displaying a defensive attitude may produceactions that may be regretted later. You may have to deal witha few headstrong individuals, and an argument is inevitable.
VIRGO: (August 24 - September 23)You may be in the mood to have things your own way, but
it may not be the best of times to insist on it. Back off ifsomeone seriously challenges you. Some inside informationmay make it possible to put a few extra dollars in your pocket,possibly real estate.
LIBRA: (September 24 - October 23)A few of your ideas are impractical, but that doesn’t mean
you need to give up completely on them. It’s time tocapitalize on your gregarious nature and push ahead withany projects involving your career path - the more supportersyou can gather, the better.
SCORPIO: (October 24 - November 22)There may be an unexpected message coming your way
that may momentarily throw you off balance both emotion-ally and financially. Make sure to keep the lines of commu-nication open with family members. Financial advice issuggested regarding any new investments.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 - December 21)If you use your imagination, there may be a delightful
romantic surprise just around the corner for you. There maybe confusion in regards to a social or romantic date that maycause frustration earlier in the week. Good vibes are devel-oping for future career goals.
CAPRICORN: (December 22 - January 20)You have a chance to strengthen an important relation-
ship which signals success for any long-range dependabil-ity. Try to keep a tight rein on your temper and reactions toothers. If you speak before you think, feelings may be hurtand explanations will be difficult.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 - February 19)Your timing seems to be off, and it may be difficult to reach
someone you’ve been trying to get a hold of. If you do, theconversation may not be what you expected. You may alsohave to readjust your thinking or re-evaluate your goals; amajor decision is close at hand.
PISCES: (February 20 - March 20)Now is as good of time as any to learn to become thrifty.
Think before you part your hard-earned cash. You have a fewfar out ideas and opinions, and if pressed on others will onlycause confusion and maybe hostility. Don’t push your luckby saying or doing anything foolish.
IF THIS WEEK IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Everythingseems to be such a big chore lately. It may be because youare physically and mentally rundown. Start taking bettercare of yourself and you’ll discover a whole new you. Theremay be a lot of pressure on you at work, learn to delegatetasks and leave the work behind while you are at home.

HAVANA (AP): The bigman at the corner shouts at hisboxer, leaning forward andpunching his hands as if hewere in the ring himself.
“It’s very difficult for me,but there’s no option,” saidFelix Savon, the 6-foot-6 Cu-ban legend who retired fromthe ring after the 2000 SummerOlympics in Sydney and hassince turned his attention totraining other Cuban boxers.
“When I see the boxers in thering I feel great nostalgia and alot of sadness. I miss boxing somuch,” the 35-year-old said.International boxing rulesstipulate that a fighter cannotcompete in the Olympics orworld championships after 34.
“I get very tense when I seea man fighting, but I have to
control myself because I trans-mit my tension and that isn’tgood,” the six-time worldamateur champion and three-time Olympic gold medalistsaid during Cuba’s “NationalOlympic Games,” whichended over the weekend.“What a way to suffer! Morethan when I was active! I hopethat eases with time.”
Savon’s two pupils includeone of the few men to everknock him out, Noel Pérez,who beat Savon during a na-tional tournament.
“Pérez put me out of thefight because of my careless-ness,” he said. “I tell Pérez tokeep boxing with the determi-nation he used to beat me oncebecause that is the secret of hissuccesses. In sports, you shouldnever give up and even if Pérezbeat me once, he has the abil-
ity to keep improving.”Pérez didn’t compete in the
national festival. Savon’sother boxer, Carlos Duartes,lost a decision in the 156-pound final to World Cupwinner Yohanson Martínez.Savon got so involved inDuartes’ match that he beganthrowing punches in the airfrom ringside to show hisyoung boxer what to do.
“Savon is a very demand-ing trainer,” Duartes said. “Ihave to be very disciplined,listen to his advice and, well,it’s a big challenge for me be-cause I think that I have toequal what he did.”
