I especially like the black and white photo of Washington Square in the Winter, 1954. But it makes me think of Ethel Rosenberg, who lived in that area but was electrocuted in 1953, and thus couldn't see the park any more. Enclosed you will find latest mentoring correspondence: 1. letter from "you" to Krumholtz; please mail; also copy for you; 2. copies of letters I'll be sending out Monday to authors who were previously matched; I wrote these to be sure that the mentors actually did contact them; 3. new set of letters to mentors, making the matches you recommended in your last letter (I've started asking for copies of their correspondence, to confirm contact is made). I want to readvertize the program but that will have to wait. On Monday I start teaching new course at Radcliffe in Grad. Consortium in Women's Studies. It's going to be great fun (I'm coteaching with a woman from Boston College, Communications), but as it runs 3 hours every Monday p.m. and I'm teaching a regular load at NU, it will be tiring. Also there is lots of reading. Let me know if you have ideas for strengthening the mentoring program. I hope things are going smoothly there.

Zahn Associate Dean College of Arts and Sciences University of North Carolina - Charlotte Charlotte, NC 28223 Dear Dean Zahn: Several weeks ago, Professor Nicole Rafter wrote, informing me that you had volunteered to work with me as a mentor in the ASC's Division on Women and Crime Mentoring Program. I am writing to confirm that you would like to work with me in that respect. I am seeking assistance in getting articles that I have written for presentation to the stage where they can be sent out for review/publication. My work, as you may recall from previous discussions, is mainly in the area of state level analysis of homicide, suicide and accidental death. I look forward to your reply and the possibility of working with you. I also hope to see you in June at the Ottawa, Canada meeting of the Homicide Research Working Group.

The goal is to help authors prepare a paper for presentation or publication within one year. To keep the program going, we need to hear from potential authors and mentors. We need to know: •your name, address, contact numbers, and whether you are volunteering as an author or mentor; •something about your work: primary methodologies and areas of interest (e.g., theory, victimization, prisons) and the part of the research and writing process where you feel you need the most help (if you are volunteering as an author) or can give the most help (if you are volunteering as a mentor).
