Yelena Yankovskaya returned to her room in McCollum Hall on Friday morning and found two notes on her door. One was written in Russian, the other in English. Both notes are addressed as message: "Welcome to the 10th floor of McCollum Hall."
Yankovskya and Kuykin are Soviet students.
This friendly gesture by the women on her floor made home seem a little less far away, said 21-year-old
Yankovskya and Vladimir Kuykin are the first Soviet undergraduate students to participate in a student exchange program between Lennard Stats University and Tamar Institute of Education in Debehcki, 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.'
"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, who will study English literature, and Kuykin, who will study sociology, are授交 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 theMargin 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."

Sometimes departments do not have the problem of attracting and maintaining talented faculty because they are often afforded by grants.
Don Stuhl, associate chairperson of the department of anthropology, said that last year the department hired a new faculty member in 13 years.
Colorado quarterback shuns flashy publicity
Although faculty salaries are a concern, they are not the only place where lack of Margin financing will have an impact.
The Associated Press
BOULDER, Colo. — Colorado's aggressive publicity department will get cooperation from Darian Hagan in only one place this year — the football field.
He wants nothing to do with flashy campaigns for things like Heisman trophies and O'Brien awards. It just is not his style.
"The Heisman? It doesn't matter to me," said the junior quarterback, sixth man in NCAA history to run and pass for more than a season in a single season. "I like team awards."
If any kit has a right to rest, though, it is Darian Hagan, 5-foot-10, 185 pounds and the best quarterback in the Big Eight during Colorado's 11-1 1989 season.
"We were always taught never to let honors go to our head," he said. "Some guys, when they get honors, they walk around with a big chip on their shoulder. I don't think all ever be in that role. I've seen people like that, and we've seen them fall."
An unknown sophomore when the year began, he was No. 5 in Heisman voting when it ended. Only an Orange Bowl loss to Notre Dame prevented Hagan and his teammates from capturing their first national championship.
Mill Crowe, dean of libraries, said
Engulfed by 25 media representatives. Hagan did admin that all the attention was on him.
"I love sitting down and sharing my thoughts," he said. "I'm excited about it. To have your name mentioned in connection with such prestigious awards is fun. But I don't think about it. It's not a big goal for me."
Higan's emergence — and the emotional bonding that accompanied the illness and death of incumbent quarterback Sai Aumese — helped boost Colorado to the threshold of the national championship. It also helped persuade Colorado to give a 15-
year contract to Coach Bill McCARTney, who cautioned against interpreting Hagan's humility as an act of just another PR-conscious star.
"I knew it was a great athlete we had recruited," McCarthy said. "But what I didn't know is how smart he is. How truly competitive he is. When Sal took sick, Darian just put it up another gear. Now that he's had that success and notoriously, he's come back as humble, as fun to be, as pleasant a kid as you could want."
"And that's the exception, when a kid can have that kind of attention and still keep his humility and team orientation. That's the greatest acclimate you can lay on a kid."
Hagan is one of 14 returning starters and 14 lettermen, a group that includes some of the country's most talented players. The Buffs have everything from the NCAA's leading punter to a consensus all-America team to a pair of dominating defends edicts.
But one question of many observers concerns a more intangible, hard-to-define quality. Most coaches call it motivation. The 1989 Buffs took their from the poag-ais and surrounded Auremine, who died at mid-season after an inspiring fight against cancer.
From an emotional point of view, the 1900 Buffs may be their own worst enemy.
One motivation, Hagan suggested, would be to prove to everybody that Colorado was the best place in the country.
"We may have our character tested," McKenart said. "We'll just have to draw on the internal strength of the program, to see what we're founded on. To my way of thinking, this is evidence enough to determine whether this is a really good football team."
"We were that player on emotion as well as talent." he said. "This year it was a big win."
