themselves the pride of the social life
of the University; the second consists
of fledglings who hope by assiduous dis
play of their "good egg" qualities to
be promoted to this first class provided

"Bv their works ye shall know
chem." ' The most of the gilded fresh
men, aided by a few upperclassmen
that have scarcely passed the verdant
stage, who make a dice board of the
sidewalk in front of Patt e rson's drug
store and the People's Bank are the
ones on whose report cards University
instructors scarcely have room to write
out the "XV these same students are
entitled to. "Like follows like.''
If the police force are unable to stop
the practice of open and fragrant gam
bling and the discipline authorities of
the University will not, is it not up to
the Council? Is this not a more im
portant matter than some that the
Council have spent weeks on? Is the re
not enough general feeling of decency
among the whole student body to
out an end to this open practice of
nigger crap shooting?
How much actual money is passing
hands in this innocent game of rolling
bones for drinks? When two men roll
for fifteen minutes, how long does it
take them to put down all the drinks
somebody has won? Or when do they
pay upthe nickels?
If you were to paint the faces of
some of them black and stick them in
the alley between Gooche's and Willie
Sorrel's, you would need no further
stage setting to pull off a complete
melodrama of 'Mark town," at the time
of the busy season in crap shooting;
A few days ago some of the" bone
rolling loafers were indulging in their
praiseworthy past time when a mem
ber of the faculty and his wife passed
by. The "come seven, come eleven"
men after the manner of their proto
types, the negro stable boys back
home, were kneeling on the side walk.
The only concession they made out of
respect to the Udy who was passing
was to miss one throw. They did not
get off their kness and the man and
his wife had to go around them.
Another member of the faculty who
was something of an athletic in his
college days, remarked that if he had
been passing by with his wife, the
first warning of his presence would
have been the point of his shoes ap
plied at the proper place.
The membership of this gang of
loafers who are continually rolling dice
on the sidewalk of the People's Bank
is made up largely, though not alto
gether of two classes the first in-
sade. ;;If a nmn wauts to gamble, he
will find some way of doing it. All
we are asking is that this gang cease
to make itself an eyesore "for the
whole community and that you accord
ladies as they pass by you on the
street the courtesy that they should
expect from every erentleman. For
the sake of decency and the remaining
shreds of your self respect, CUT IT
OUT.
Some time back we had something
to say in regard to this matter. We
thought we made it plain enough, but
lo and behold our would be sports took
it as a huge joke and a zealous desire
to fill space on our part. Well, gentle
menwe Hesitated at that we hope
you realize that we are not joking.
University Sermon by Dr. Van Dyke.
The University sermon for March
was preached Sunday morning by Dr.
Henry Van Dyke. The chapel over
flowed with students, members of
the faculty, townspeople and visi
tors just as was the case with the
lectures. The text of Dr. - Van
Dyke's sermon was taken from Luke
12-14, which reads: "And he said un
to him, "Man, who made me a judge
or a divider over you?" The substance
of the sermon is as follows:
"Several attempts were made to se
cure Christ's endorsement of particu
lar factions or parties among the He
brews. The Pharisees, Sadducees, and
Zealots in turn tried to get him to inr
dorse their party and doctrine: Even
among the disciples, the sons of Zebe
dee attempted to secure his favor.
But Christ endorsed and allied himself
with no party or creed and thereby he
showed his superhuman and divine or
igin and purpose. It marked a new
era that one should live in the world
and teach no particular doctrine, but
rather truth, love and of eternal
life.
"Once a man came to Christ with
a quarrel that he had with his neigh
bor, desiring that he should speak to
the man and command him to do just
ice. Christ, however, answered, 'Man
who made me a judge or a divider ov
er you.' Then turning to the crowd
Christ said, "Take heed and beware of
covetousness for such is not of the
Kingdom of God." We should indeed
- n. ....... . .
beware or couvetousness tor it c auses
a man to live an unhappy life and it
unfits him tor the Kingdom of God
Christ has commanded, us tojive an
independent inward life that does not
depend on material (prosperity and in
this manner he gave a man bread who
had asked for stones. ;
"The laws that Christ gave us were
aimed at regulating the moral conduct
of the individual. He taught the
principles of love and forgiveness sa)-r
ing "Love your enemies," , where the
Mosaic law said, "An eye for an eye,
a tooth for a tooth." He, however,
respected the statute laws, even pay
ing tribute to name. He taught that
the true law was that of love and that
each man should govern his own out
ward conduct. He commanded .that.
though the outward temptations be
great, let the inward graces be greater,
let the law of love rule our conduct."
