Jack " Holcombe, president of the Club, told the assembled mem bers about the University regis tration book which will be locat ed in New York's Statler Hotel so that students may find 'each other wherever they may be staying over the Nov. 12 week end. He asked that all students plan ning to make the trip stop by the UC booth, which will be set up in the YMCA beginning today, leave their New York address and how long they will be in the city. The registration book will be available at the Statler near a special telephone over which students may get information. The telephone number for this ser vice will be announced soon, Hol combe said.

' He said he especially was in terested in pointing out action which will affect North Carolina in particular. The North Carolina' delega tion, he said, has cooperated "as a team in regard to projects of vital and long-range value in the upbuilding of North Carolina. He told the North Carolina Democratic Club of Washington that these include: 1. "The President was prom ised, world conditions permi ing, to fill in the gaps in 'the Great is an artery of traffic leading through an area of half the popu lation of the United States into Western North Carolina." 2. Authorization of a $1 a year contract for the lease of federal lands to the North Carolina State Ports Authority for development of the port of Wilmington, and the commitmentof the President, the Secretary of Defense and Sec retary of the Navy for allotment of a drydock to the Port of Wil mington, which will arrive at a later date." He said waterways projects such as those for Masonboro In let and Oregon Inlet and the Pas quotank flood control project al so will mean much to the state; study the interpretations and meanings of atomic power, par ticularly in regard to the United Nations. Graham also said that "Uncle Sam having started fisheries re search on the Carolina coast with $20,000 is just a token and the first survey of its kind for the state."

He also discussed legislation affecting veterans, national de fense and foreign aid programs. "Legislation" he said, "was passed which furnishes essentia military assistance to enable the United States and other nations dedicated to the purposes of the United Nations Charter, to create an effective system of individual and collective self-defense in support of those purposes."

DEY Dey Honored By France With Degree Dr. William Morton Dey, who retired last summer as head of the Department of Romance Lang uages after 40 years in that cap acity, has been highly honored by the French government.

Ambassador Bonnet wrote Dr. Dey that the honor was confer red on a "degree of the Preside of the Republic through a motion of the Minister of Foreign Affairs. I am happy to congratulate you," he said, "on this highly deserved distinction that testifies to the gratitude of the French govern ment for the exceptional services which you have rendered."
