Perhaps they do. Most of the full-time lecturers I know work full-time, pretty much. I know some _professors_ who seem to have an easy time of it though, particularly in the US.

I just wondered how the coffee would be fresh? -- David Horne- http://www.davidhorne.net usenet (at) davidhorne (dot) co (dot) uk http://homepage.mac.com/davidhornecomposer http://soundjunction.org
