of a political organization.
Comer said the change makes the definition more
vague and told Finance Committee members they were ^

Senators could not muster the two-thirds majority
to override Comer's veto despite last week's successful

Staci Versen, a senior nursing student, and her
group of friends came just to hear REO. "We've been
excited about this since we heard they were coming,"
she said.
Comedian Jaz Kaner got little response to his act,
though his disparaging remarks about Clemson were
appreciated. He parodied popular rock songs and did
impersonations of weird combinations like Jack Nicholson
singing Bruce Springsteen or Jimmy Stewart
singing Elvis.
Kaner satirized Mick Jagger, singing about Geritol
and cocaine to the tune of "Start Me Up." The audience

Some students interviewed said they liked Cockfest
better last year and thought that having it at the
