"I want specific answers" Bassin told the candidates. Furlong said the college is facing two problems-growth in the region, which he says, is being dealt with, and "internai"' problems. "Durham Coilege serves the needs of the community and should be funded as other colleges. Gover- nment spending has not kept up with the growth,"I he said. But Bail disagreed.
