Speakers from GSA go into classrooms and workshops and discuss what it is like to be gay. Last year GSA representatives spoke on at least 10 different occasions. The GSA has a mobile library open to all USC students. Every spring, the GSA provides entertainment through a female impersonation show called "Lip-syncing In Professional Style" or LIPS. The show, which is held in Russell House, attracted about 350 people the first year and over 200 the second. The money earned is used to fund the organization. Even though it is a licensed student organization, GSA does not receive funds from the university. Dues provide additional support and local bars provide the organization with places to meet. As for this year's plans, Brock told the members, "I think we need to take each other more seriously as a group."

Clary's act, sponsored by CPU's Special Programs committee, was ft mixture of jokes, music and magic. His performance, however, lacked the spirit of a spectacular show. Clary opened his 90-minute program with jokes that brought little response from the audience of about 35 people. 11 ..I /ni i nuwcvcr, wncn ^iary ocgan playing the guitar, he brought the show to life. He used melodies from popular old songs, mixing them with his ingenious lyrics. One example of a popular ballad he sang was "Killing Me Softly With His Song," which he recreated and retitled, "Killing Me Softly with Kung Fu." Other songs were re-created spontaneously, with Clary using names of audience members in the lyrics. His accomplished guitar playing and banjo picking, combined with his singing ability, made this part of the show the highlight of the evening.

He appeared on more than 100 campuses last year, as well as 60 conventions, nine commercials and 940 shows ; at the "Six Flags Over Georgia" theme park.
