Bradley Wilson's 4/13 letter, "ASMSU benefits its members, not MSU" takes a narrow view about who does and does not benefit from ASMSU, MSU's undergraduate student government. I, in fact, have not received free legal services, free blue books or an interest-free loan.

Likewise, I haven't had an apartment fire put out by the fire department, nor has someone that has committed a crime against me been prosecuted. ASMSU provides services that some students might not see directly but make MSU a better place to live.

I bet even one of ASMSU's staunchest critics knows someone that is in a student group, picked up a free blue book or has a friend that had a minor in possession deferred — all with the help of ASMSU.

Those who work to help other students and the MSU community at large deserve "a pat on the back" and maybe even a free blue book or two.
