Perhaps a p/t line for gis/tech support (grad cs student) such as creating a data archive. 3) are you gonna pay for university lic. for (I would guess) ArcGIS .... (Big bucks but lots of data and training comes with this... 4) a big printer... $14 K and etc... printing stuff... 5)a p/t student to manage the printer.... help researchers... ....just a few ideas...
