A case of the Mondays

I was wondering today, as I sat in class and listened to an OSPIRG speech for the umphteenth time, just how much of our time the Oregon Students Public Interest Research Group wastes. The OSPIRG street campaigners can at best make me lose my train of thought as I walk past them. The 10-minute speeches at the beginning of classes, however, is during time that students pay for. We are paying to hear about their campaigns and to be asked to sign up for their e-mail list. I know it’s not much, but when you multiply 10 minutes by the number of speeches each year by the number of students, it turns into thousands of hours of intellectual time used up for the better of their own organization. Though, it does give me an extra 10 minutes to work on the NYT crossword.
