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.

Rough Start Severely Hampers Potentially Saccesslal Season Basketball coach Bob Kloppenburg had problems of organization early in the season this year. Starting with plenty of talent, most of it junior college transfers, Kloppenburg had to evaluate each individual's potential and how he would best fit into the Cal Western style of play. Lack of teamwork and general bad luck helped the Westerner cagers sputter to an 0'-5 beginning. The squad played better than .500 ball over the rest of the season, fashioning a 12-14 record. With an upset win over Pasadena, they began challenging other NAIA District Three teams for a berth in the playoffs and a trip to the national tournament in Kansas City. But these hopes were quashed when Pasadena handled the Westerners easily in a re- match on their home court. However, as pre-season prognostica- tors had predicted, big 6' 8 center Den- nis Grey had a fine year. He set a single season rebounding record, averaging 15.8 per game and led all scorers with 16.4 points a game. At seasons end, Grey was declared most valuable player, selected to the NAIA District III first team, and chosen Blue Key player of the year. Rich Wasser, quick 5' 9 guard, was also a first team NAIA District III choice. Specializing in short driving shots, Was- Center Dennir Grey, right, thaw: the form be wed lg lead the Werternerr in Jroring and rebounding.

Long shot artist Craig Meyers was the only other double hgure scorer for the season with an 11.6 per game average. The future looks quite bright based on the freshmen record of 13-7. Good re- cruiting gave frosh coach Tim Cunning- ham excellent material to work with in Tim Collins, Bill Ringhand, Don Bran- denburg, Jim Wissler and Mike Seamon. . .1 Bob Kloppenburg-
