arturo- i think you may have forgotten to add sundays and the student
village to the computer labs in your calculations?

in any case, i made some adjustments to your spreadsheet, which you can see
attached in case i made any errors.

IF i counted everything right there are a total of ~686 hours/week (not
including people coming in early to work). that would mean a savings of $686
a week with a $1 cut, and with ~29 weeks/academic year, around $19,894
savings/year.
