COLLEGE EAGLES While the Bulls were clouting the agate to all corners of the lot, Ellis, Smith’s rangy right hander, kept the situation well in hand, and the Eagles were sent back to the Bull City minus a game. The score was 21-9. In the first inning the Bull nine scored twice off an error, a single, and a double. Smith bunched hits in the second, fifth and eighth innings, and with an additional number of solitaries in the sixth and seventh got away to a lop sided victory. The Eagles were able to muster strength enough to score 9 runs in the first, fifth and seventh innings. Tuck er and Massey for Smith led the at tack with three hits each. Two of these were home runs, one by Tucker in the second stanza; the other by “Bear’ Massey in the fifth. Lambeth, though erratic, showed up well for the visitors in his position in the short field. His effective way of handling difficult balls kept the locals from piling up more runs. called after the seventh innings on ac count of darkness. Plair for Smith and Burley for thei locals started off at a dizzy pace. In the first inning Walker worked Burley for a walk, and advanced to second and third via the stolen base route, scoring on a pased ball. Smith scored again in the fourth stanza. A single, home run, double and a pased ball was good for three more tallies. The vis iting pitcher sailed along smoothly until the fourth inning. The fire works started with a brace of runs when Dean sent a sharp single to cen ter field, which was followed by a four-base clout by Hill. At this time Death Ramseur was sent in to take the brunt of the pitching burden and j was in turn but little more effective than Plair. The Columbians scored again in the fifth off a single, a walk, and a double which resulted in two runs, and tied the score four all. After this both teams were unable to solve the delivery of the pitchers. KAPPA ALPHA PSI R. Eugene Jones. SECOND GAME WITH BENEDICT ENDS IN DEADLOCK In a return game with Benedict col lege, Columbia, S. C., Smith’s Golden Bulls were forced to content them- tion! It is generally conceded that spring is characterized as exert ing two distinct influences upon natural scenery and human be ings—namely, an influence that produces a state of lethargy, or inaction that is quite noticeable in spring fevers, day dreaming, and in general—a state of dor mancy ; and then there is an in fluence that causes everything within the scope of its environs to take on new life in under going a complete rebirth. Since the advent of Spring—Alpha Epsilon has rejected the former or negative aspect that is so no ticeable at this season, and has substituted the latter or positive aspect—^which stands for noth ing more than progress. The destiny of Alpha-Epsilon is being, guided by the following corps of .new officers who are leading on to victory—namely: Pole-march, Joseph D. Taylor; Vice Polemarch, H. Taft Thomp son; Keeper of Records, Marcus H. Iloulware; Keeper of Exche quer, Joseph F. Towns; Strate- gus, Charles J. Jones, III; Lt. Strategus, Charles A. Ander son, Jr.; Historian and Reporter, R. Eugene Jones; Members of the Board of Directors, E. H. Jenkins, and J. G. Benson. The National Guide Right movement of Kappa Alpha Psi which is sponsored annually by the Fraternity in all Chapters within her folds, will be observed here by the local chapter April 21-27, inclusive. Plans are now being made for the effective car rying out of this movement. In view of the fact that all High School students are not necessarily college material— because of the wide differences in hereditary traits and individ ual inclinations — the Guide Right movement serves as an in termediary that aids the student in bridging the big gap between High School and College—and helps him to find his predestined place in Life’s school. Such a movement then, aids to a large extent, in eliminating “misfits” and in placing the round peg in the round hole—thus gradually diminishing the large number of failures that are noticeable each year in institutions of higher learning. This—in brief—is the purpose of the Guide Right movement. On the baseball diamond, Bro. H. E. Jones is our represen tative, and among the aspirants for the track team, Bro. E. H. Jenkins is exemplifying his ability as a track man. Both of these men deserve close observa tion—for they are out for hon ors. Ere we speak again, it is hoped that five tough-looking “barbs” will have freed themselves of all the rough-edges and barbaric characteristics, and will have crossed the “burning sands” of Phi Nu Pi and reached the “Del phic Shrine.” All are looking forward to the Inter-Fraternal Banquet which will come off early in May—and then shortly afterwards comes a time to “cram”—the next must be “Exams”—followed by grad uation and then—0, boy! vaca- BULLS WP. INITIAL mT OF SEASON Smith University’s baseball team opened its season here by defeating the Benedict college Tigers of Colum bia, S. C., by the score of 19-5. The olferings of “Death” Ramseur proved the undoing of the visitors. 'The best that the Columbians could do was to eke out one hit for the first six innings, after this the local twirler was touched for two more base knocks, and coupled with errors due to pre season form, the Tigers ran their to tal number of scores up to five. The Bull nine jumped on the offer ings of Whaley in the first inning and before the smoke had cleared led by a three run margin. Horne, Smith’s lead off man, reached the initial bag due to Gardner’s error Successive hits off the bats of Tucker, Walker, Massey and Biggs gave the locals the lead. Smith scored again in the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth innings; while the best that CJolumbia could do was to get solitary markers in the second, sixth, seventh and ninth Innings. In their first game of the season the Bulls showed great potential strength but lacked the polish of a finished product.

And the scampering wild-eyed country yokels having trans- Iformed into sophisticated, debonnair [cultured youths—the entire physical j aspect of Biddle University had now undergone a metamorphosis and our [educational world beheld the blooming I Johnson C. Smith University. ! And with this physical development [ of a plant, today valued at more than I two million dollars, there has been a ^Bd similar improvement in her educa tional policies. In the spring of 1929, when speaking of Johnson C. Smith University, John J. Tiggert, former head of the United States Bureau of Education, and present head of the University of Florida, remarked that Smith’s college department’s work was only comparable by that done at How ard; this should in some way indicate the type of work that is done by Smith University. At no time has she lost sight of those fundamentals in educational pursuits for which she was founded. To give the best in intellectual train ing has been her aim and now she has acquired certainly the wherewith al to provide it. Therefore with these attributes in particular: a faculty composed of masters, bachelors, and doctors representing' such universities as Michigan, Ohio, State, Chicago, Western Reserve, Durham, Eng., McGill, Columbia, and Minnesota, and Bates and Haverford colleges.

For the second time this year The Jniversity Student publishes the li brarian’s report. It is interesting to note particularly the number of stu dent borrowers—285. Out of an en rollment of 319 we have just about two-thirds of them—according to the number of books circulated during March, at least—using the library. There is the possibility of a far small er number actually using these books, -in a number of cases the same student must have used more than one book and several—the regular users of the Lbrary—were thus circulated but through the same student. I'he librarian. Professor Rann, is to oe commended for getting out this re port every month. We should as stu dents use this indispensable source of knowledge more than we now do. The .number of books circulated should be doubled. GREAT 1930 BULL COMING The 1930 Bull which you have heard 0 much about during the year, will le i-eady for your perusal in a few days.

A new life came—a wooden structure fell—a brick one rose in its stead; another wooden one fell—another brick one arose.

A few days ago they staged one of ‘he most unique affairs ever attempt- d by any group here at West Lake -Park. It was a “Night in the Coun try.” Successful farmers, freshly groomed in clean overalls, scintillat ed among the farm maids attired in their best Sunday ginghams. Above he din and hilarity of the farm folks, arose the appealing strains of rhythm as only the Serenaders can produce them. There was a pause, a message went out, “Soups’s On.” And a cry was heard, “Ladies and children first.” The savory smell of delicious ham sandwiches and hot coffee filled the air. The coffee was real Maxwell House, and “good to the last drop.” After the appetites had been ap peased, the revelry was resumed. When the last strains of the orchestra died away and the weary folks slipped away home, another chapter had been added to the Bachelors’ book of spring history.
