Finboard had $95,700 (source: Spring budget) to allocate for the fall 
semester, not counting overallocation. They allocated $72,134 during 
regular allocations (source: 
http://web.mit.edu/ua/senate/UAS40/passed/2009%20Summer-Fall%20Finboard%20Allocations.xls). 
I believe we were a couple thousand dollars into overallocations at the 
end (source: personal recollection). So I would expect appeals to be 
somewhere in the neighborhood of $22,000--$30,000 (if I had to guess, 
I'd say $26,000). There's still a bit to be resolved with some proposed 
La Sala renovations, and I'm not sure what'll be happening there (and 
that could be several thousand dollars).
