In regards to Nik Antovich's column ("OSPIRG's Spending is not benefiting university students," ODE April 15): More groups to promote participation on campus would be beneficial. But OSPIRG, I feel, is getting a bad rap here as a mysterious money-laundering corporation. So let's be clear, OSPIRG is for the STUDENT PUBLIC INTEREST! They are a public group, and any student can use their services (EMU suite #1). OSPIRG fights for all of us, not just on this campus. They fight on issues we cannot solve alone.

This year they made a huge push for composting on campus, reusable cups on campus and promoted general awareness through creative projects on campus. Those three things, ON CAMPUS, are focused around only one of many campaigns that OSPIRG works on. So no more of this absurd notion that OSPIRG is somehow laundering money off campus. Students should make better use of OSPIRG's services by going to their meetings and participating. If any student is so concerned or frightened about the service, well it is public, so go check it out!
