$225 x15 = $3375 + $910 = $4285
$225: the cost of a standard 6-page, black & white issue of readme as ordered from campus printing services at printjob@andrew.cmu.edu x15: enough for 8 issues in the fall, 7 issues in the spring plus one color issue to wrap up the year. $910: the cost of a standard 6-page, color issue of readme as ordered from campus printing services at printjob@andrew.cmu.edu.
Readme prints at least every other week and sometimes more frequently for special events like Spring Carnival. We believe that a final color issue would help to draw in new audience members as it is more eye-catching than the normal black and white issues.

To purchase our domain name and to pay for hosting (a little more than $10 per semester, varying) We believe purchasing our domain name would make the publication look more professional to the student body and to employers. It also allow us to begin making better use of our website, a project we began this school year.

(about $150 per semester) We would like to be able to purchase props and items for costumes for our new skit show "Watchme". We would use these items to create a more professional looking production and so that the creativity would not be halted by lack of budget. This is a relatively new venture and has brought in new interest into readme. It offers a niche emptied by disbandment of Variety Hour.

Money for 5 display racks at $40/ rack. For more effective distribution. Will solve problem of readmes being thrown out when placed on the floor or on others’ distribution racks.
The racks would be placed in these five locations:
1. UC Kirr Commons/Foodcourt area
2. DH in entrance hall
3. Wean Hall near La Prima
4. Gates Hillman Center near Tazza d’oro
5. Resnik Hall near the Tartan Cafe
