She is her own woman. Ms. Mentor's forte is the knowledge that no one else has. She stores up gossip and oral history, and she reveals dirty little professional secrets. In future columns Ms. Mentor will discuss backstabbers and whistle blowers, whiners, knaves, thieves, temptresses, and an angel or two. Anonymity is always guaranteed.
Scurrilous speculations are always welcome.
In her continuing efforts to be a role model, Ms. Mentor points out that it is vital to self-promote. Ms. Mentor, who never leaves her ivory tower, channels her mail via Emily Toth in the English Department at Louisiana State University. Her views do not necessarily represent those of The Chronicle.
