The vote on that legislation was the only non-unanimous vote in Senate.

"Did we? No,” Scott said. "We did n't because it wasn't given to us." He also accused the Patel ad ministration of trying to under mine the Senate. "What I find disheartening is this administration's strong-arm ing of the senate," Scott said. "It lowers the legitimacy of the com mittees. It lowers the stature of this body." College of Liberal Arts Sen. Adam Hark said the bill was re dundant due to codes defining a political organization and give the Finance Committee the abili ty to strip funds from an organi zation that doesn't follow SG poli cies. "For those of you who cannot make a deduction, Sen. Wright and President Patel have pro vided a clarification," Hark said. Hark continued on that theme again after the meeting. "Only passing a resolution es tablishing a Gamecock as our school mascot would mirror the redundancy of the proposed Public Endorsement Prohibition Act,” he said. Speaking for the bill, Wright said taking The Gamecock's fund ing was within the Senate's pow er. She said she didn't think there was a problem with the codes' def inition of a political organization, which Hark has proposed chang ing. "I don't see anything wrong with it," Wright said. "There's a purpose for that definition." College of Liberal Arts Sen. J. D. Shipman railed against The Gamecock's conduct in the last election, attacking the paper's en dorsement and its decision to run “The Gamecock has no constitutional rights” J.D. SHIPMAN LIBERAL ARTS SENATOR a front-page story revealing that presidential candidate David Bornemann had been ticketed twice for underage drinking. Shipman, who served on Bomemann's campaign staff, also said the bill was not about free dom of speech. "The Gamecock has no consti tutional rights," Shipman said. And he urged senate to pass the bill regardless of what the codes said. "Even if the Finance Codes do contradict it, nonetheless, the stu dent senate has... taken a stand," Shipman said. Hark, who had previously an nounced plans to push to remove language in the codes that define a political organization, said he would change one word instead. He said he would change the bill's prohibition on endorsing candi dates in elections "including stu dent officers" to "excluding stu dent officers." One senator who had counted votes before the meeting said the bill's supporters had the votes nec essary to pass the legislation, but the debate appeared to have changed the outcome of the vote. In the end, only one senator not list ed as a cosponsor voted for the bill.
