Nathi Hospet/Alasaye Yankovskya and Kuvkin are Soviet students
Yankovskya and Vladimir Kuykin are the first Soviet undergraduate students to participate in a student exchange program between Leningrad State University and St. Petersburg State University, with Dmitry Debicki, 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.'
— Yelena Yankovskya Soviet exchange student
"They called me in the late afternoon and asked if I wanted to go and I had to tell my answer in the same evenings."
Yankovskya, who will study English literature, and Kuyikin, who will study society, arrived Thursday.
Yankovskya 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 an those decisions," he said.
Sometimes departments do not have the problem of attracting and maintaining talent faculty because they cannot afford to fill vacancies.
Don Stull, associate chairperson of the department of anthropology, said that last year the department hired a new faculty member in 13 years.

Maurice Douglas with Sands. Douglas started the final four games last season at backluff. In two of those those games, Sands gained more than 200 vards.
"He's not really big, but he's got a lot of heart." Sands said of the 5-foot-10, 200-pound dog.
Offensive coordinator Pat Ruel agreed.
He's exhibited the most success we've got at that position," he said. "Everybody wants a 225-pound fullback. What I want is a tough guy out there."
Behind Douglas on the depth chart is junior Roger Robben, who returns to his freshman position of fallback after a year. When he returned, Roger Robben was switched to linebacker last season.
"Fullback is his natural position, and he was very involved with the offense as a freshman." Ruel said. "What he lacks at backfall is breakaway speed."
Backing up Sands at tailback is a diversity of backing and talent.
Frank Hatchett, the only senior of the group, should be the primary backup.
"Frank has the tools, it just depends on whether he decides to put them to work." *Joe*
Youth has contributed at tailback as well.
Fixed pointed specifically to freshman Gail
"He has shown a lot of spark," he said. "White earned a pre-season Street and Country League mentorship All-American selection last year at Allen High School in Allen, Texas."
Together, this group comprises a backfield that Ruel said was stronger than any he had coached in his three years at Kansas.
Despite the loss of last year's leading receiver Quinint Smith, the Jayhawks
If the Jayhawks decide to throw the ball, they have many experienced receivers for target.
Kenny Drayton and Jim New are scheduled to start the opener. Ruel said both had made improvements in fall practice, and he had his own idea why.
"John Jefferson has brought their competiveness," he said. "He motivates the receivers pretty well. He should be credited with a lot of their improvements."
Drayton, a junior flanker, ranked second on the team last year with 25 receptions for 244 yards. He was a starter for the final nine games of the season.
New, a also junior, has looked excellent in fall drills. Ruel said. New started the first two games of last season and finished the season with sevenceptions for 171 yards.
The one area of inexperience of the receivers and running backs will be tight. With three-year starter John Baker and his teammates, Chad Fette sophomore Chad Fette as his replacement,
Mason said that while the group did lack experience, depth at the position and experience gained this year should help avoid trouble at that position.
Ruel said he thought this year's running backs and receivers would help continue an upward trend in offensive production. After finishing 101st in total offense in the nation in 1987, Kansas finished 68th in 1988 and 64th in 1989. The team won the year the team could make the top forty.
"After that, we ought to be thinking top 20." he said.
