Flat River I 6 PAGES TODAY Would be Boon House Bill 221, introduced last week into the Missouri House of Representatives by Representatives King. Landis and thirty-six -others, Vould be a boon to the junior colleges of Missouri, says Br, Gayle Simmons, dean of the Flat River Junior College. The "bill, if passed into law, would provide for the formation of junior college districts, would establish a 9-rnan Junior College Commission appointed by the governor to regulate and inspect the state's junior colleges, and would provide approximately $200. per full time student per year In state aid to tach junior college.

r-- Dean Simmons hug described this bill as "the m.M promising move ever taken in Missouri toward the promotion and growth of Junior colleges' Although House Bill 221 would not automatically alter the status of junior colleges now in existence, it would expedite the process by which a hew, expanded junior college district could be formed. Such new district would have taxing sand bonding capacities. On the local scale, this would make it rather simpleorTesidenls" of this area to make Flat River Junior College tuition free to the residents of all those school districts which might be involved in the enlarged college district. Thia could easily double the enrollment of the River institution It- is generally assumed that the state aid provisions of the House Bill22l would apply to existing junior college even though no expanded district were attempted. This would provide approximately SKO.OOO.

per year in additional operating funds far Flat-Rivpr Junior lege, based upon current average lull time enrollments. Dean Simmons speculates. that such state aid would enable the college to" expand. its facilities to inclu'de mahv new courses and curricula, would enable ft to employ more teachers thus making room for more students in the standard curricula, and woiwd provide much needed fund for equipment and supplies. A a representatives Bob Blackwell (St.

Francois County) and Earl Bollinger '(Madison County) were among the thirty-six representatives who added their signatures to the House. Bill 221. Dean Simmons urges all interested persons of this area to write to Representatives Blackwell, Bollinger and others, thanking them for signing this very important bill. It is hoped that local chambers of com-mercercivlc and service organi zations will endorse House Bill ill and that they will notify state representatives, state senators, and the governor of their, action. Dean Simmons has a'grted to-meet with representatives of local groups to discuss House Bill 221 and its implications for higher education at the Junior College level.

The "1961 Directory of Coun cil-Manager Cities" just published by the International City Man agers' Association, lists 1,756 cities, towns, townships countries, and other local governments. Included among these are 99 cities in Canada.

The 1960 Census of Population designates 1,739 urban places of more than 10,000 population in the United States. Forty-nine per cent of those over 25,000 popula tion and 38 per cent of those be tween 10,000 and 25,000 operate under the council-manager plan. Eighty-four cities adopted the plan during I960-and appear in the directory for the first time. The average number of adoptions since January 1, 1949, is 73 cities per year, The population of all places with council-manager government now exceed41.5 million. There are four council-manager cities with populations over a half-million: Dallas and San Anto nio, Texas; San Diego, California; and Cincinnati, Ohio.

An addi tional 51 cities with populations over 100,000 also use this form, Under the system, a manager is hired to serve as administrative head of the city under the general direction of the city council. A substantial majority of city man agers have "received special train ing or experience in government. For, example, of the 175 men ap pointed to their first Jobs as managers during 1960, 76 per cent had nerience. usually as an assistant manager, department head, or municipal Jntern. More than- half of these new managers were un der 40 years of age.

The council-manager form of government is 53 years old. It started in 1908 when the council of Staunton, Virginia, appointed a manager. Four years later, Sumter, South Carolina, became the first city in which the plan was adopted by a vote of the peo ple." Adoptions grew steadily but slowly during the first four decades of the plan. As many communities have adopted the plan since 1949 as adopted it in the prior 41 years. Only 68 cities have abandoned the plan by referendum.

-Another 18 voted to abandon, bnt later re- adopted the council-manager form. Wilkerson 3 2 1 12 LaPIante 0 0 0 0 Bruney 1 3 2 3 Baldwin "00 1 0 Bullis 12 2 4 Selinger 0 1 0 1 Anderson 0 10 1 D.
