...first dispute, not surprisingly, involves money. Though University officials will not discuss their offer to the union, sources close to the negotiations say Harvard proposed a salary hike of about 5 per cent to the union, to correspond with the recent rise in the cost of living.

The major fringes in question are "night and weekend differentials"--the extra pay that officers earn for working less desirable shifts. These differentials...
Limiting the breakfast menus in eight of the Houses will partially offset the increased costs, saving Food Services $102,000 of the $165,300 projected added cost next year...

The cost of the multi-mirror telescope, borne partly by the University of Arizona, will exceed five million dollars. The telescope housing alone cost over $1.3 million. Herbert Gursky, the Center's associate director for optical and infrared astronomy, says researchers will use the new telescope to make a systematic survey of quasars...
