with the final outcome. I
Chancellor R. G. Gustavson
called it "a realistic compromise
between what should be and what
can be done."
The University's Board of
Regents asked the legislature for
a tax-fund appropriation of
about 16.2 million dollars. For
mer Governor Val Peterson rec
omended a tax-fund appropri
ation of 14.5 million dollars
and his successor, Governor
Robert Crosby, also recom
mended that figure-. There was,
however, a difference in the
actual recommendations of the
two governors: Governor Peter
son left to the legislature the
question of whether more money
would be needed to allow the
University to expand the scope
of its activities. Governor Cros
by, however, made clear that he
thought 14.5 million dollars suf
ficient to meet Increased oper
ating costs and also cover some
expanded activities.
Final Compromise

ations and adiust salaries and
wages to cover increased costs
which have developed during the
past two years.
At the time the University's
budget request was drawn, it
was estimated that a tax fund
appropriation of about 14.8 mil
lions of dollars would be needed
to permit the University to oper
ate for two years at the present
level and to stake the salary
and wage adjustments the Re
gents felt necessary to keep its
non-academic and academic
staffs on a sound basis.
Some Expansion Planned
The difference between 14.8 and
the final asking figure of 16.2
million, the Regents planned to
use for expanded activities in
three principal areas: (1) strength-
