	If you want a tenure-track job at Youngstown State, you probably want
to teach or consult more than you want to publish and become famous. Thus
you might decide to go fishing during the summer (unless the cost of living
in eastern Ohio is a lot higher than in western Ohio).

	Or maybe you want to moonlight all the time. Either way I think
it's safe to assume that the successful applicant for this job will not
be concerned with building a resume that will eventually land him/her
on the faculty at CMU or Stanford, and that the administration will expect
him/her to be somewhat less prolific than, say, Knuth or Yourdon.
