Ladner by the Numbers

While University President Benjamin Ladner remains under investigation for alleged misuse of funds, the Scene staff felt compelled to brainstorm just how one might spend such ridiculous amounts of cash.

$44,000 in alcohol 81,230 cans of Natural Light beer. Party on, dude!

$54,000 in driver costs Three Ford Focus sedans and 3,823.8 gallons of gasoline (at 3.20/gallon).

$80,000: annual salary of Nancy Ladner 25,078 bottles of Febreze Refresher (16.9 fl oz/bottle), because doing laundry is too much of a hassle.

$220,000 in chef services 366,666 packages of Ramen. Never eat at TDR again!

$800,000: Ladner's total compensation for 2004 2,005 top of the line iPods (60GB), which combined would hold about 30,075,000 songs.

$1 million potential severance package The price Dr. Evil usually demands when he's holding the world hostage.
