The University of Missouri board of curators voted 5 to 4 to raise employee salaries by 4 percent for the 1972-73 fiscal year, costing about 3.5 million dollars. The decision followed a plan by President C Brice Ratchford to align faculty pay with other universities amid a 12 million in next year's budget needs. A separate 145 million budget and a six story McHaney Hall addition were approved, with student fees raised to 250 per semester and nonresident tuition to 500 per semester.
