Deb may wed black
NEW YORK—Beryl Slocum, post-debutante daughter of one of America's first families, admitted yesterday that she and Adam Clayton Powell III, son of the Harlem congressman, are considering marriage.
"We're simply not sure yet," said the pretty 26-year-old blonde who counts Capt. Miles Standish and the founding fathers of Rhode Island among her ancestors.
Powell, 22, a local radio news reporter, had "no comment at this time." His father, reseated by Congress last week, had advised him to "take the fifth amendment" on the whole subject of a mixed marriage with Miss Slocum.

BEIRUT (UPI)—Lebanon yesterday began reinforcing military defenses along the border with Israel and considered an army-backed compulsory military service bill which could draft 100,000 young men and women into the armed services in 1969.
Defense Ministry sources said the army high command, which was given control of national security last week in the wake of the Israeli commando raid on Beirut airport, was determined to see the bill become law.
The Lebanese-Israeli border was quiet during the day, but Jordanian spokesmen in Amman reported two machinegun duels across the Jordan River cease-fire lines between Jordanian and Israeli troops. No Jordanian casualties were reported in the clashes about 2½ miles south of the Sea of Galilee and near the Damiya Bridge about 35 miles north of the Dead Sea.
Minister Zeev Sherf presented to the Knesset, Israel's parliament, a $2.2 billion budget for the 1969-70 fiscal year, with 37 per cent-or $814 million ear-marked for military spending.

An official Lebanese spokesman denied reports that Lebanese and Israeli representatives met recently on the border to seek ways of easing tensions. He described the reports as an "Israeli propaganda maneuver" and said the only contact was a technical discussion
At the same time, a military communique issued in Jerusalem said Israel had suffered 281 killed and 1,115 wounded since the end of the six-day Arab-Israeli war in June of 1967. The casualties included 234 soldiers killed and 785 injured.
The communique reported a total of 1,280 border incidents since the cease-fire 18 months ago, including 920 on the Jordan River front along.
under U.N. auspices. Israeli government sources also said the reports were untrue.
The army high command has been lobbying for a military conscription since 1966 when it was rejected because of economic reasons. The bill provides for a one-year term of military service for all Lebanese men and women, beginning at the age of 18.

Chancellor names due
The faculty committee searching for KU's 11th Chancellor has set Jan. 15 or 16 as a target date for submitting names of five top candidates to the Kansas Board of Regents.
William P. Albrecht, dean of the Graduate School and chairman of the committee, said yesterday the dates nevertheless are tentative,
with some 20 top candidates currently in contention and additional nominations still coming in.
The names of the possible candidates under consideration by the committee have been kept a closely guarded secret. But the Topeka State Journal said in an editorial that Gen. Harold K.
Johnson, former U.S. Army chief of staff, is among those being considered for the position.
Chancellor W. Clarke Wesco announced his resignation, effective June 30, at the fall convocation ceremony, Sept. 16.

C-W-C's pre-enroll to end chaos
By MARLA BABCOCK Kansan Staff Writer
KU's chaotic enrollment, with its infinite lines and closed classes, has long been a headache for students.
This semester, however, the five Colleges-within-the-College are experimenting with methods of minimizing the confusion.
Through variations on a lengthened advisory period, the five colleges hope to eliminate the traditional procedure of seeing an adviser in the half-day preceding scheduled enrollment time.
North College, located in Gertrude Sellards Pearson Hall (GSP), adopted mass
Earlier this week students went to GSP, where they picked up their folders and enrollment cards. While advisers, departmental representatives and North College administrators were available to offer advice, Mrs. Ricks said consultation with advisers was purely optional.
"Students were encouraged to do as much self-advising as possible," Mrs. Ricks said. Advisers now act as resource people, giving information on courses. They do not merely grant permission for a particular curriculum, Mrs. Ricks said.

If students chose to complete their pre-enrollment at GSP, they turned in their enrollment card and folders at the dean's check table, Mrs. Ricks said. Students wishing more time to decide class choices were asked to return their materials to North College office by today.
Mrs. Ricks said the system worked efficiently, "We probably never had more than five people in line at the dean's check table," she said.
