VOL.101,NO.7 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN ANSAST STATE HISTORICAL DCIETY OPERA, KS 66412 THE STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1990 ADVERTISING:864-4358 Students here from Soviet Union Exchange students arrive from Leningrad University as the first two participants NEWS:864-4810 By Christine Groody Kansan staff writer 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 messages read: "Welcome to the 10th floor of McColum Hall." This friendly gesture by the women on her floor made home seem a little less far away, said 21-year-old North Tampa University Yankovskya and Kuvkin are Soviet students Yankovskya and Vladimir Kuykin are the first Soviet undergraduate students to participate in a student exchange program between Lannengrad State University and Kharkiv University, and from Debeckh Debeckh, 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 evening." Yankovskya, who will study literature, and Kuykin, who will study sociology, arrived Thursday. 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. "I went to the consulate to get my papers, and I did not Loss of Margin worries officials By Yvonne Guzman Kansan staff writer The Legislature's failure to increase 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." University of Kansas Faculty Salary Comparisons Average Salary (in dollars) Salaries Relative to Peers (in percent) the division of biological sciences said that before the Margin passed, the biology department lost several schools to other schools and private industry. "Salary was a big factor in an those decisions," he said. KANSAN 175 to 300 students Sometimes departments do not have the problem of attracting and maintaining talented faculty because they cannot afford it. Don Stull, associate charpenter of the department of anthropology, said that last year the department hired two 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. Fill Crowe, dean of libraries. said Linemen Continued from p. 8 slated to share the position with Matt Nolen, a 75, 120-pound junior. Brown, listed as 6-3 and 315 pounds, returns to his starting position at left tackle. He is backed by sophomore David Marcum, c. 61, and 240 pounds. The defensive line is rounded out by senior right tackle Gary Gates, 6-2 and 270 pounds, and junior outside linebacker Lance Fischbarkh, 6-4 and 265. Hilles said the greater size probably would come with a loss of speed, but said he expected Brown and Stubblefield to surprise opponents. "Brown and Stubblefield move fairly well for their size," he said. "We have timed Brown at 5 seconds flat for the 40 (yard dash), which is pretty quick for a dog that weighs 300 pounds. The only question will be whether they can sustain speed in a game situation. We hope that our conditioning will pay off." Hilles said the defensive line had set goals for the season. "In the past we haven't put a lot of emphasis on being aggressive," he said. This year we are putting a huge emphasis on getting across the neutral zone and striking. "We allowed five yards per rush last season. This season we want to get that up next." In tomorrow's game against Virginia, Hilles said that even with quarterback Shaun Moore's dangerous passing ability, coach John running game would be the key to winning. "Moore is a great passer, but last season they won when they were able to get their running game going," Hiles said. "If we are going to win this game or even stay in it, we are going to have to control the running game." Experienced Offense The 'Jayhawk's' offensive lost only one player, tackle Bill Hundelt, to graduation. Senior Chair Chip Budde said he was confident of the line to show up in smooth execution. "One of the neat things about having the same offense for three years — and the same guys in it — is that you start to think in terms of what the unit is trying to accomplish rather than the individual," said Budd, who has earned honorable mention All-Big Eight of the last two seasons. Sophomore tackle Keith Loneker, 6-3 and 325 pounds, is the only offensive lineman with less than a year's experience in a starting role. Buddle, 6-1, 265-pound co-captain with linebacker junior Curtis Murtle, has started in the last 33 consecutive games. Junior guard Smith Holland, 6-3 and 260 pounds, two years ago before missing all but one game of last season with an injured left knee. "The extra weight should help us establish the running game. Successful teams, especially in this conference, have to establish the running game, and this year I think we can." Junior tackle Chris Perez, 6, 6, 285 pounds and the final starter on the line, enters tomorrow's game with 22 consecutive starts at left tackle. 9th & Iowa "First of all, it's kind of nice to think in terms of two deep," he said.
