Dr. Richards told the annual joint meeting of the Board of High er Education and the State Board of Education yesterday that a bill amending the present junior col lege law was passed by the House but buried ill the Senate Educa tion Committee which felt more study should be given the subject before the law was amended. Dr. Richards expressed belief hat sneclal committee renre- senting both boards could study the subject and bring In recom mendations for any changes In the law deemed deslrnble concerning the manner in which junior col leges should be operated and fi nanced. Members of both boards voted in favor of setting' up the com mittee and left the appointment of officers of he two boards. Educators and civic leaders of Bend, where a junior college is In operation, appeared before the last Legislature and urged a change :n the junior college law to provide more financial support by the stale.
