EMU Board: House/Budget Commit tee meeting. 4 p.m., Board Room, EMU. OSPIRG continued from page 1 the vote of the students one year and the approval of the Programs Fi nance Committee the next year. But the Senate had to approve the budg et last year because PFC meetings had already concluded by the time OSPIRG members realized they needed to reapply to receive fund ing. Although OSPIRG, which has been on campus since 1971, is asking for $149,904 this year, its total budget will be about $329,724. OSPIRG will receive its remaining funds from a pool of resources at a statewide level with Portland State University and Lane Community College. OSPIRG also went to the ballot three years ago, when students vot ed to revoke the group’s campus funding. The group faced opposition from a variety of students who, according to OSPIRG State Board Chair Melis sa Unger, used OSPIRG’s budget as a way to confuse people about how OSPIRG spends its money. Opposi tion in the past has centered around the fact that OSPIRG sends some of its money off campus in its lobby ing campaigns. According to Unger, at the time, OSPIRG members didn’t clearly ex plain to students how the group was funded and the issues it represents, including the environment, public safety and health. “Our money goes to Portland to make sure we can win issues on a statewide level,” Unger said. “When we talk to students, we want them to understand how we operate on a statewide level. ” Unger said the state PIRG in Port land has allowed the organization to have the resources to hire a pro fessional staff that works to protect the environment, consumers and democracy. This year, OSPIRG members have a different plan of action to keep their message from being skewed. OSPIRG secretary Alysa Castro said OSPIRG members are working through tabling and increased visi bility of information to educate as many people as they can about the group’s campaigns. “The students vote on us because we work on issues that affect them,” Unger said. “When students vote on OSPIRG, they tell people they care about [issues such as] the Arctic Na tional Refuge.” Along with the campaign to in form students about the ballot measure, OSPIRG members are re focusing attention on environmen tal campaigns because of President George W. Bush’s recent declara tion in support of oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. OSPIRG members will protest to day outside the EMU Amphitheater, along with students nationwide, against British Petroleum stations, which promote drilling in the ANWR. Castro said students will be able to sign an EcoPledge, or an agreement not to buy, invest in or work for BP. 008930' Got a problem? Or just need to talk?
