To Be CPU Guest -Alexander Antonovich Troy anovsky, Soviet ambassador to the United States, will speak in Memorial hall Tuesday niirht on a Carolina Pnlifirnl gram, Chairman Alex Heard announced yesterday. The Soviet Union's first en voy to this country will be the CPU's fourth speaker of the winter quarter.

Although he was born in Tula on December 20, 1882. he cele brated his fifty-sixth birthday on the first of last month. The reason for this postnonement of tne ambassador's birthday was the revolution. Shortly after dis posing of the Romanovs the So viets dropped the Julian calen dar in favor of the Gregorian, or maybe it was the Grecrorian that they dropped in favor of the Julian. At any rate a definite change was made, which ac counts for Troyanovsky, who was born December 20, celebrat ing his birthday on the first of each year. r , Professionalization Of Athletes Regarded As Menace New Rule Adopted By David Stick It took the University faculty two hours yesterday afternoon to formulate and finally adopt a resolution regarding the subsi dizing of athletes. The accepted resolution de clares that the group "regards the professionalization of col lege athletics as a menace to sound education and wholesome sportsmanship." "In line witlfthis belief." it continues, "we urge alumni and friends to submit to responsible faculty committees for annroval under their regular standards any assistance extended or pro posed to be extended to athletes or prospective athletes." Rule 8 Discussion for a time was cen tered about number 8 the sub sidization clause of the ten resolutions governing the Uni versity's athletic policy which were presented to the faculty several weeks aero ' bv Dpati House. It soon became amarent. though, that a definite decision regarding rule 8 would be a long time m coming, so the old clause was discarded and the one which they finally adopted was substi tuted in its place. The discarded rule number 8 stated, "It is the policy of this university to condemn as a men- (Oontmued on last page) Jitney Players To Offer Nineteenth Century Play Jitney Player Dr. Charles E.

Diplomacy" Th Be Produced In Playmakers Theater Mon day Night On Monday night, February 7, the famed Jitney Players, America's oldest touring reper tory theater, will be presented at the Playmakers theater. They will appear in "Dinlo- macy," by Victorian Sardou. This play was written in the late Nineteenth Century, but the sit uations in it are so timely that it seems incredible that it is not the "cony" of a current forpitm correspondent.
