Bill Bates spoke to USC Christian
groups on campus Thursday night
in the Nursing Auditorium.
The event was sponsored by
Fellowship of Christian Athletes,
Campus Crusade for Christ,
Intervarsity Christian Fellowship,
Navigators, the Baptist Student
Union and Rock Christian
Fellowship. Bates' sister Rachel, a
USC senior, was also instrumental
in bringing Bates to campus.
Bates said in his speech, "I came
here because it was the opportunity
to not only do something for my
sister, but also to hopefully do
something for some other people as
well.
"I've always believed that I'm
playing football for a reason, and,
if I happen to, through my career,
change at least one person's life in
a positive way ... then it's all been
worth it," he said.
Bates spoke on a variety of
aspects of his life. He said his faith
in Jesus Christ has always strengthened
him and pulled him and his
family through hard times.
"Everybody goes through
changes in life," he said. "That's
what life is filled with, and it's all

Members from the USC Model
United Nations met in New York
this past week to play the role of
South Korea in a series of simulations
in the U.N. General
Assembly.
USC was one of more than 180
schools present from around the
United States and the world who
met in the week-long meeting to
reconstruct ongoing international
events and situations.
Each school was assigned a
country last fall and had several
months to research the attributes
and policy positions of their

a matter of how you handle challenges.
If you handle a challenge
and don't take it on full stream and
don't do your best, then looking
back on that time, you will have
wished that you did do a little more
if it didn't work out for you.
"That's kind of how I've always
looked at situations," he said. "No.

the strength. No. 2, my desire to be

and third, I stay with it and never
quit, and if it doesn't work out,
well then, hey, I did the best I
could, and that's all you can ask of
yourself."
Bates also discussed the joys of
being on a world championship
team, of having a family and a
good life in general, but also
stressed the fact that his faith in
God is the most important aspect of
his life. His main message was
"Have faith in the Lord, and have a
dream."
Bates pointed out that his faith
doesn't disrupt the team chemistry,
and, if anything, it makes it
stronger.
"There are no ill feelings either
way," Bates said. "After all, everyone
on our team is actually human.
Some believe different things, and

The schools then came to New
York and sat on several committees
during the week and met in a
General Assembly plenary session
on Saturday to ratify their proposals.
International studies freshman
Carson Bush represented USC and
South Korea on the General
Agreements on Tariffs and Trade
Committee and as a delegate in the
plenary session.
"It was ironic that Clemson was
chosen to be North Korea," Bush
said. "We discussed several issues
such as arms verification and
reduction, and we passed a resolu""'v>

some may believe nothing at all,
and it's the ones that are wondering
and having trouble that will hopefully
look at me in a positive light.
"I mean, that's the key," he said.
"I won't change anything I'm
doing because somebody likes it or
doesn't like it because I have faith
and many Christians throughout
history have been ridiculed, but I
just walk the walk and you've gotta
do that before you talk die talk."
Rachel Bates said, "I thought it
was neat (that he came). I don't
really get to see my brother that
much since he lives in Dallas, but I
thought it was neat to see beyond
the professional football player side
of him and to really get to see his
faith in Jesus."
Bates spoke to several students
before and after the program, signing
autographs. The night was also
filled with several singing groups
from various Christian organizations.
Bates said, "I'll be back next
year, and, if we keep playing like
we have been, we'll be Uiere (at the
Super Bowl) again. We can do it.
You've just gotta hold on to your
dreams because even if you don't
get all the way there, you'll be
pretty high anyways."
