order to clarify the fact that the law there would be

because these are local community colleges, it would be

the local instrument of government. Would there be any

DELEGATE WHEATLEY: When we use "law" throughout,

7

we had no idea what the various ramifications and delinea-

8

tions would be. We had used the law to refer to the

9

broadest concept. We certainly refer in this instance to

10

the concepts that would be in local as well as in the regu-

11

lations which would be of a state-wide nature. We are

12

changing nothing which is existing. We are merely reaffirm--

13

ing it. So if there was a local charter or whatever you

14

might call it, I don't know what it will be ultimately, I

15

assume it would be the charter, we would certainly want the

16

local subdivision to be able to control its local higher

17

educational institutions as well as its primary institu-

16

tions .

DELEGATE BARD: You are thus not using the word

"law" here to be synonymous with "general public law"?
