Yankovskya and Kuvkin are Soviet students
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 messages are: "Welcome to the 10th floor of McColm Hall."
This friendly gesture by the women on her floor made home seem a little less far away, said 21-year-old William.
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, and he met Debbich Debricki, 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 Kuvkin, who will study society, 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 left out."
Loss of Margin worries officials
By Yvonne Guzman Kansan staff writer

The Legislature's failure to train 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."

Sophomore quarterback Chip Hilleary, probable starter for the 1990 season, warms up for Saturday's season opponent against Virginia.
Hilleary ready to lead Jayhawks
By Rob Wheat
A military handbook would define a field marshal as the leader on the battlefield who decides which type of attack should be made on the enemy.

After Kansas coach Glen Mason, the five-stareman, directs whether the Jayhawks will use either aerial or ground backhand in the quarterback to lead his platoon on the field.
There are several quarterbarkers to whom Mason will look to fill the hole left by Kelly Donohoe, but for now he thinks he's found his starter in sophomore Chip Hilleary.
"I've been impressed with the amount of leadership he's shown for such a young guy," Mason said. "We've also seen good things from Nate Folelrel and Ashekri Preston, but Hillary is our clear-cut choice for starter at quarterback."
Hillary said there were a lot of questions about how he would do as the Jayhawks' new passer, but said he is ready to answer them tomorrow in the home opener.
"I want to settle a lot of the question marks as fast as possible." Hilleary said. "We've been in practices a long time, and we're sick of hitting each other.
"I think the turning point last season was Missouri, and now we have to keep it."
The quarterback the media have been focusing on before the Kansas-Virginia game is in Virginia's Heisman Trophy candidate. The state senator didn't mind the attention going elsewhere.
"They can talk about their quarterback, but I'm just out there to make the team win," Filleary said. "I'm not interested in individual accomplishments yet. I'm going to do what it takes to make the offense click."
Hillary said he was comfortable either running the option or dropping back to pass. He said he was excited about starting his first college game.
"I feel real comfortable with the offense we have and I think that we're ready for it."
Mason said Hilleary's backup would be freshman Nate Flosell from Chicago, Ill. He said Flosell would play if Hilleary were injured or didn't perform well.
"We'd sure like to keep play-calling pretty close to the vest, but we don't have that luxury," Mason said. "We have to find a way to be comfortable its capabilities are in this first ball game."
Mason said he also has seen good things from freshman Aheki Presten from Ft.Lauderdale, Fl. In high school, Preston is a strong recruiting force and his team's most valuable player honors.
Mason said although all of the quarterbacks were young and lacking experience, he was confident with the team's passing game.
"I feel a lot better about our quarterback position now-then going into spring practice, and a lot better about it now than coming out of spring practice," Mason said. "We got some talent at the quarterback position. What we don't have is experience."
