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 wrote a message: "Welcome to the 10th floor of McColm Hall."
Yankovskya and Kuvkin are Soviet students.
This friendly gesture by the women on her floor made home seem a little less far away, said 21-year-old
Yankowskya and Vladimir Kuykin are the first Soviet undergraduate students to participate in a student exchange program between Lennard St George University and Tashkent State University, Debebh Debeki, 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 even."
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 history book.

The Legislature's failure to transfer theMargin of Excellence resulted in lower faculty salaries compared to KU's five peer institutions, said Del Shankel, interim executive vicechancellor.
"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 afforded to fill.
Don Stull, associate chairperson 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 of Margin financing will have an impact.

Mason tags freshman to be starting kicker

The loss of last season's starting kicker and punter does not seem to be hindering the Kansas football team this season as far as replacements are concerned.
Brad Fleeman was the starting place kicker last season and converted 27 of 29 extra point attempts. B.J. Lohsen, last year's starting punter, was a second team All-Big Eight Conference selection. Loosen averaged 42.5 vaults a unit last season.
As of Tuesday, Kansas coach Glen Mason
and placed freshman recruit Dari Echloff,
as well as senior guard Dan Eichloff.
"Right now, Dan Eichholz is both the starting kicker and punter." Mason said.
However, the depth charts can fluctuate with each practice. The performance of the athletes from day to day determines where they are placed on the charts.
Eichloch, who played at Northeast High School in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., moved to the United States from West Germany six years ago. He was living in West Berlin when his family decided to move to the United States.
Eichloff said he had never played football before arriving in the United States; he had battled against him on the field.
"He had a way of persuading me to do it." Eichloh said.
Eichloff she did he not fall in love with his new sport immediately. He said his coach sent him to camps and taught him how to play the American variety, became a part of his life.
Eichloff said he felt lucky to be considered as the starter for Saturday's game.
"I am a little nervous," he said. "But I'm sure that will pass the first step."
Assistant coach Vic Adamle, who works with the specialty players, said that the coaching staff and the team were both expecting Eichloh to perform well.
"Right now he's the one who is getting the job done," Adame said.
He said the fact that Eichloff was a freshman did not bother the team.
Adamle said that although it was a little unusual for a freshman to be a starter in all three positions, it was not as uncommon as in some other positions.
Mason said that the starting kicker would also be doing place kicks.
"They don't care who it is as long as he is
