9am - 11am for the main Teach-In; hopefully by the end of that they
are at least started on the Koans, even if they start off working
through a different tutorial.  That way, they can continue the Koans
in the 1:30-2:30 lab session, but with only one or two tutors around
to help them (they may be helping each other by that time).
