CSC needs more funding to do its job

The Sept. 16 editorial on community service brought out one important fact: the projects and work of the Community Service Center play a profound role in the University's mission of community outreach. The center has continuously worked with campus and community organizations to create opportunities that will benefit both the campus and Durham. 

In spite of this great responsibility, the center must often perform these tasks with a limited budget in comparison to other student groups on campus. This lack of funds sometimes affects the amount of publicity that some of the events receive. 

While I agree that greater coordination efforts would improve event exposure and activity recruitment, a larger discussion must be held to improve the funding resources available to the center. If the center is to continue serving the community effectively, as it has since its inception, it should receive the necessary funding commitment to make such events possible.
