New Company Will Complete K&C Contract

Alteration and modernization of ten South Campus buildings began this week under a contract signed with the Warshaw Con­struction Corporation. The con­struction company signed a con­tract last week with the Board of Higher Education to complete work not finished under a de­faulted contract with the K&C Construction Corporation.

The construction company is to complete work not finished un­der a defaulted contract with the K & C Construction Corjporation. The completion date and costs are not specified in the contract. The total work has not heen assessed yet, and the company is to work under the direction of

^larihihg and Design Bivisibir bt the College.

Repair of th« Finley Student Center roof and miscellaneous painting and carpentry repairs in the Center and other buildings on the South Campus will be made under the contract. Also in­cluded is washing of the windows of buildings on the South Cam­pus. Opening of all the rooms on the fourth floor of the Center is being delayed because of the need for repair of the roof.

SG Exec Considers Use Of Photo Identity Cards

By MIKE HOROWITZ Photo identification cards for students at the College are under

consideration by Student Government. The SG Execultive Commit­tee interviewed last night a representative of a company which provides photo identification^- — =_ cards for many colleges and uni- I company, Louis Senescu, of the versities across the country,

According to the system pro­posed by the representative, the cards, costing twenty-five cents, would be prepared for registra­tion each year. They would serve

memlbers at the SC meeting to­day to go to their constituents and determine during the next week whether or not they favor this system. SC members then will consider instituting the card system at next Wednesday's meeting.

'Perfect Photo Identification Cor­poration of Chicago, said that the College's Administration believes such cards would "improve secur­ity at the College."

Under the proposed system, students would have their pic­tures taken at a rate of one every twelve seconds at registration, after paying their fees. The cards would be ready three days later.

The pictures of the students would be a part of the card it­self, rather than being pasted on the card. This, Mr. Senescu said, would prevent forgery and tam­pering with the card.

SG President, Jared Jussim, said that "the cards would im­prove the security system at the College tremendously. They would be well worth the cost."

The idea of photo identity cards first was discussed after tihe assault on the coed, Marianne Ronis, in the Finley Student Cen­ter last October. At that time, it was decided that steps must be taken to prevent outsiders from entering the can^pus "build­ings.

The Executive Committee also accepted the resignation of Joe

Guitar Stolen; Allege Filching Of Cigarettes

One robbery and an alleged theft were reported at the Col­lege yesterday.

A guitar worth $200 was stolen from a student's car Monday and a maintenance employe of the Finley Student Center has been suspended for an alleged theft last Thursday evening of ciga­rettes from a Canteen machine in the Center.

The guitar, a C. F. Nazareth Martin with mother of pearl in­lay on the top, was stolen from the back seat of the student's car between 11 AM and 1 PM Monday. The car was parked on St. Nicholas Terrace outside of the South Campus.

Prof Makes Stuttering Study To Determine Reasons, Cure

Stuttering is more likely to arise in children coming from homes Uh.at are run poorly than from well-run homes. This con­clusion was reached by Professor R. Corbin Pennington (Speech), director of the College's Chil--» :

drens' Speech Clinic. According to the Professor,

however, it is very difficult to single out any one cause of stuttering. He emphasized the fact "that in most cases, stuttering is not a physical defect. He also noted that "about forty per cent of all stutterers eventually get over the difficulty."

"For Parents of a Child Beginning to Stutter." His work is also the subject of a film called "Their First Teachers" produced by the City College Institute of Film Techniques.

(But Only in Frosb Hoop Practice) By BOB MAYER

Observers at practice sessions of the freshman basketball team are immediately attracted by the superior play of one of t'he participants. He exhibits a fine set shot, and constantly out maneuvers his opponents in the scrimmage. But alas and alack, the player cannot compete in actual games. His name is Dave PoLansky, he$*

Pa^a Four

Polansky, Basketball Playing Mentor ̂ SSsftgi:; in the first half, Schwartz was ejected for intentionally pushing Arnold Weinstein as the latter drove in for a layup. Weinstein was unable to take the two free throws awarded him,

Schwartz netted thirty-one points in the Hawks' last outing, a 90-84 victory against Pratt In­stitute last Saturday. The victory raised the Hunter record to six wins and four losses.

The Lavender will have a de­cided height advantage, as the home coach, Mike Fleischer, will probably field a starting lineup with the biggest man, Bob Sack, only 6-3. Ed Milan, who led the Hunter scorers with sixteen tallies in the first City-Hunter fray, will start at one of the guard positions with Schwartz. Sack will be the center, while George Farlekas and Dick Scott are scheduled to start at the for­ward posts.

A triumph for the Beavers will tie them with the Hawks for second place in the Municipal League standings, with a 2-2 record. Brooklyn leads the con­ference with a 3-0 standing.

coaches the team, and he used up his eligibility fourteen years ago.

Polansky's athletic ability dates back to 'his undergraduate days

m

Dave Polansky Ineligible

at the College, 1938 to 1942. Dur­ing that period he .played three years of varsity •basketball, ran for tihe track team, and was cap­tain of the cross-country squad. Perhaps 'his greatest glory came in the field of track. In 1941 he ran a half mile in 1:53.8 sec­onds, which was good enough to place him second in the country It was also the fastest time ever turned in by a representative of a New York City school, a record which is still in existence. The following year he covered t'he 800 meter distance in one second less, 1:52.8, to win the Junior National title for that event.

Unusual Twist (

Upon his graduation, an un-ususal twist occurred. Polansky was appointed coach of the track and cross-country squads, there­by becoming tutor to his former teammates. This unique position was sliort lived, however. After one season, Polansky left to be­come a flight engineer in the Service.

When he returned to the Col­lege three vears later, in 1946.

Polansky was given the job of Assistant Faculty Manager of Athletics. He preferred more di­rect contact with sports, however, and so after a short period of time he became basketball coach at the 23rd Street school. For the next five years he similtane-ously coached the Day and Eve­ning session ihoopsters.

When Nat Holman was sus­pended in 1952, the College's au­thorities showed their high esti­mation of Polansky's capabilities by asking him to take over the varsity coadhing reins. He led the Beaver cagers in the seasons of '52-'53> and '53-,54, during which they posted fine records of 10-6 and 10-8.

Upon Holman's reinstatement last year, Polansky became frosh hoop mentor. Under his direction.

the Beaverlings 'had their best season in seven years, compiling a record of nine wins, six losses, and one tie.

Polansky feels that by actually playing with the boys, he is bet­ter able to teaoh them. So far the system has been successful.
