Ribicoff that the state's higher educational facilities should be developed and expanded on a coordinated basis to provide the best possible opportunities for the most people at the lowest cost. The Governor and Jorgensen discussed the future of higher education during a hearing on the university's budget request for $22,594,603 for operating penses during the next two state fiscal years. This request compares with $17,858,461 in the current two-year budget. Neither of the figures include money for capital expansion or major equipment purchases. Also Favored by Sanders At a budget hearing earlier this week, William J.

Sanders, state education commissioner, also agreed to coordinated programming between the university and the four state colleges operated by the State Board of Education. Gov. Ribicoff has been developing his higher education development plan for the past several months with an eye towards providing higher training within commuting distance of every student Dr. Jorgensen Friday said he believes coordination is "clearly indicated" in crder to make the most of the financial resources the state has to devote to higher education. He said fullest use of all higher educational facilities is essenItial to take care of the "explosive population growth" and he described the Governor's plan as making "a lot of Right now, with the various branches of the university and the four state colleges, there is la state higher educational facility within 15 miles of every person in the state except in the Norwich-New London area, Dr.

Jorgensen said. He admitted that use of commuter colleges is becoming more important every day as costs increase both to the state for dormitories and other on-campus installations and to students who must foot room and board bills Plan Under Consideration Dr. Jorgensen said a university plan now under consideration is to make the main campus at Storrs a senior and graduate institution, as much as possible, with students completing their first two years generally either at a university branch or at a state college. Asked by Gov. Ribicoff, who is against increasing the size of the Storrs campus into what he calls a "vast educational how big he.

thinks the main campus should be, Jorgensen said it should not be any bigger than necessary to handle about 5,000 or more students. At present about 6,000 students reside on the campus. Dr. Jorgensen said he does not believe a system of state operated junior colleges with two year courses is advisable for Connecticut because of its small size. He said he thinks proper development of the state colleges and the university branches would fill the bill.

Gov. Ribicoff also discussed the possibility of increasing late afternoon and night-time courses at the branches in order to provide more education for desirous students. Dr. Jorgensen agreed that plan also makes sense. He said that at present, enrollments at the branches are about half night time and half day-time students.
