His goals include making USC a
"user-friendly" university, keeping
tuition low and prioritizing construction
so that classrooms and things the
university needs are put first. Comer
explained that "user friendly" means
that students are put first and are
offered courteous service.
"Brian is an excellent choice for our
board. He served with us (when he was
SG president) and did a really good
job. I totally support him," said Dr.
Edward Floyd, the permanent chairman
of USC's Board of Trustees.
Although Comer said he has a
vested interest in the board because
he is a student, he said he is accountable
to three groups. He will represent the
the students, the state and his district
He stressed the importance in balancing
these responsibilities.
"Fm running for the 10th judicial
circuit, which is Anderson and Oconee,"
Comer said. "That means that I am
directly accountable to that particular
area. The unique slant to my race is
that Fm a student."
His goals if elected are to make
contact with the students, which he
said he feels he does everyday because
of his student status; have contact with
