<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks, Cynthia. I suppose it would
be splitting hairs to mention it, but technically speaking, UCR doesn't
have any "senior" lecturers (as stated in the announcement), no matter how old
they are or how long they've been here. It's a separate job classification
(1602) held by only a few lecturers at Berkeley who make way more than we do
(over $60,000).</FONT></DIV>
