Departmental Pizza Crisis

As I might have mentioned before, but want to reinforce with this message,
the budget crisis has forced us to begin looking for ways to economize. (The
university has asked us to prepare for budget cuts of between 5 and 7%.)
Accordingly, we are no longer having pizza for internal speakers.
Best,

In this spirit of economization, I would like to propose a 3-cent fee for each use of the lab stapler (projected revenue = 150 staples a week x 3 cents each x 50 weeks = $225.00 annually). This savings will help in cutting our budget by 5-7% and will enable us to keep stipends up and faculty hiring open.
