Do you know of someone who would like to enroll in Advanced Psychology of Women 458 during Spring 2007. Enrollment at the present time is low and the course is at risk of being cancelled by the administration unless more enroll in it.
  If you would like your final grade sheet mailed to you, give me a self-addressed, stamped envelope. If you would like your paper mailed to you, give me a 9 X 12 self-addressed, stamped envelope. Have a great summer.
