Name of College Uttered in Vain; 'CCNY Prof.' Rants Over Airwaves

Dr. Stein was introduced on a tape recording as "Professor of Hebrew at the City College of New York" and an "authority on the origins of calypso." The hundreds of students flipping through the pages of the College Bulletin in search of the professor's name met with disappointment. It wasn't there.
