Yelena Yankovskya returned to her room in McColm Hall on Friday morning and found two notes on her door. One was written in Russian, the other in English. Both were addressed as message: "Welcome to the 10th floor of McColm Hall."
This friendly gesture by the women on her floor made home seem a little less far away, said 21-year-old Jane.
Yankovskya and Vladimir Kuykin are the first Soviet undergraduate students to participate in a student exchange program between Leningrad State University and Dushkovo State University, and with Debech Dubeki, director of the KU study abroad program.
'I have never left my house for such a long time. I am both sad and happy to be here — sad because I leave my family, happy because I get to meet people and learn more about the United States.'
Yankovskya and Kuykin are Soviet students.

Yankovskya, who will study English literature, and Kuykin, who will study sociology, arrived Thursday.
"They called me in the late afternoon and asked if I wanted to go and I had to tell my answer in the same evening."
Yankovskya she said she knew nothing about KU because she did not have anyone to ask for information. The only information she had about Kansas was what she had read in a history book

The Legislature's failure to finance the Margin of Excellence resulted in lower faculty salaries compared to KU's five peer institutions, said Del Shankel, interim executive vice chancellor.
"With the first couple of years we were gaining again," Shankel said. "With this year's failure to fund the Margin we dropped back again."

"Salary was a big factor in all those decisions," he said.
Sometimes departments do not have the problem of attracting and maintaining talented faculty because they cannot afford to fill their vacancies.

Don Stull, associate charperson of the department of anthropology, said that last year the department hired a new faculty member in 13 years.
Although faculty salaries are a concern, they are not the only place where lack ofMargin financing will have an impact.
Kansas defense optimistic despite problems
By Chris Oster
Kansan sportswriter
Two of its starting linebackers have not played a down in a college football game in more than a year. Its leading tackler from a year ago has been sent to the offense. Its top defensive back from a year ago was dismissed from the team last spring. Two of its top freshman prospects are out with knee ligament damage.
In spite of all of this, the Kansas defensive coaching staff is sure it will have a much improved unit when it opens its 1900 season against Virginia.
Junior defensive lineman Flachsbarth (17) blocks a practice rush by junior nose guard Matt Nolen (64).
Much of the optimism is based on the return to football of linebackers Curtis土斯.
However, Moore suffered a knee injury during spring drills last season and missed the entire year. Kansas outside-linebackers Moore was ready for action. Moore was ready for his return to action.
Moore returns this season to fill the middle-backlinebacker position. Two years ago Moore led the Big Eight Conference with 19 games, was a second team all Big Eight selection.
"He's mentally ready." Fello said.
"There are some things he's not satisfied with, but I don't know what he wants."
Defensive coordinator Jim Hills said Moore's dissatisfaction was due to Moore's performance.
Moore has been bothered by a head injury suffered in a recent practice.
"He's a perfectionist, and he won't accept anything except the very best from himself." Hills said. "He has provided the team we expected him to this season."
Rogan, a sophomore transfer from Ohio
State, has already been named by the Big Eight Skiwriters as the prescrona defensive newcomer of the year. He was not eligible to play last year because of NCAA transfer rules, but he was able to practice with the team.
"Having a year off, he's had to learn how to practice again." Fello said. "But he had a real good spring. He's got great athletic ability."
Fello said the layoff had not hurt Rogan.
Rogan said he had no problem starting back up.
"I was working with the same defense last spring," Rogan said. "We've improved tremendously this year. I just hope I can help the team."
Bill Crowe, dean of libraries, said
Hills said Rogan is playing better now than ever.
Working at the other outside linebacking position are two red shirt freshman. Starting will be Marc Etrick, who moved to Georgia after working as a tight end last fall.
"He has the physical ability, but he just switched last spring and missed half of spring practice with a broken leg." Hilles said.
Expected to help out this year as linebackers who two freshmen who have fallen victim to injuries this fall. Redshirt freshman Larry Kress and true freshman Steve Harvey have both suffered anterior ligament tears and are out for the season.
The loss of these two has put the status of be stabilized by four players with starting extra points.
Anchoring the secondary at free safety is junior Jason Priest. Priest started seven years ago and has a successful career.
Wes Swinford in question, Swinford was expected to be redshirted this year, but because of injuries, Hiles said there was a possibility he would be back. Swinford has been bothered recently by a
pulled hamstring.
While the linebacking corps is filled with new faces, the defensive backfield should
