State Higher Education officials urged creation of the State Junior College of East St. Louis funded entirely by state and federal dollars with no local support. Gov Ogilvie backs the plan, which targets high school juniors and seniors for technical and vocational programs and would operate under the junior college board with a seven member elected panel. The proposal, introduced last week, could start in fall if funded, and would collaborate with Southern Illinois University East St. Louis.
