Bishop James Pike Shares Entertainment The controversial James A. Pike, heading the slate of Aca- demic Board speakers for Win- ter Quarter, engaged Cal Western students in an examination of conventional morality and situa- tion ethics January 19th in Golden Gym. Twice accused of heresy by his fellow Episcopal clergymen, the former Bishop contends that Christianity needs not fewer be- liefs but more belief. He also states that man today is forced to create his own creeds and dog- mas on the basis of what can be proved factually. This gives rise to the idea of forming decisions and beliefs on the basis of situa- tions. Speaking to a crowd of over 200, Bishop Pike was questioned by a panel of students and fac- ulty, and the audience.

Young Deboters Successful A combination of enthusiasm, interest and several hours of hard work' made this year's debating team of junior Gary Krauss and sophomore Marty Koba one of the most successful in Cal XVestern's history. The two, both pre-law majors. spent several intensive hours preparing for tournaments throughout the Country culminating in the Harvard Tournament in February, where they placed 14th in a field of 158 competing col- leges and universities. The versatile team also won top laurels in tourna- ments throughout ,the west against such teams as USC. UCLA, Redlands, Pepperdine and San Diego State. The two active men, both in- volved in student government and members of Cal Western's Model United Nations delega- tion, credit much of their suc- cess to the coaching of debate in- structor Edward Rintye, who is new to Cal Western this year. Many sacrinces were made by Krauss and Koba and their form- er respective partners, senior Van O'Steen and sophomore Casey Yim, including missing several major campus social events by spending nearly every weekend Winter Quarter out of town pre- paring for tournaments. Under the coaching of Rintye, the debators spent as many as four hours a day readying their debate topics and even began their initial preparation two months before arriving on cam- pus this fall.
