Students here from Soviet Union

Yankovskya and Kuykin are Soviet students.
Yelena Yankovskaya returned to her room in McCollum Hall on Friday morning and found two notes on her door. One was written in Russian in the English. Both notes had a message: "Welcome to the 10th floor of McCollum Hall."
This friendly gesture by the women on her floor made them seem a little less far away, said 21-year-old Yankee.
Yankovskya and Vladimir Kuykin are the first Soviet undergraduate students to participate in a student exchange program between Lengnardal State University and Uzbekistan. In 2013, he studied Debchik, 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 English literature, and Kuykin, 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.

Loss of Margin worries officials
By Yvonne Guzman Kansan staff writer
The Legislature's failure to imitate 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."

175 to 300 students.
Sometimes departments do not have the problem of attracting and maintaining talented faculty because they cannot attract to fill them.
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.

Hurricanes ranked No.1 college team in the nation
The Associated Press
Miami, which ended the '80s as the nation's top college football team, is start-ning in 2016.
The defending national champions are ranked No. 1 in The Associated Press' "Dame of the Year" poll and Dame by 25 points in voting by a nationwide panel of 60 sports writers and broadcasters.
“It’s nice to be recognized, but it also puts a burden on you,” Miami coach Dennis Erickson said. “When you’re no 1, every dreamy wants to play their best against you.”
The Hurricanes, who have won three of the last seven national titles, received 24 first-place votes and 1,431 points. Notre Dame, which finished second last season, was runner-up again with 22 first-place votes and 1,406 points.
1. ans is the first time Miami has been ranked No. 1 in the preseason poll, which started in 1950. Prior to this year, the Hurricane in the ninth preseason ranking was
Miami lost six starters from last year's dominating defense, which allowed the fewest points and yards in the nation. But the Hurricanes return eight starters on offense, including Heisman hopeful Craig Erickson at quarterback.
"We have a chance to be a real good team," Dennis Ericson said. "It's going to be a challenge, though, because our schedule is a lot tougher. Last year, we won some games when we didn't play well. I don't think we'll be able to do that this year."
Certainly not on Oct. 20 when the Hurricanes play Notre Dame at South Bend, Ind. The last three seasons, the winner of that game has gone on to win the national championship.
Auburn was third in the preseason poll, Florida State was No. 4 and Colorado was No. 5. Auburn received three first-place votes and, 1,311 points, while Florida State which handed Miami its only defeat last season — got six first place votes and 1,388 points.
