Yelena Yankovskya returned to her room in McColm Hall on Friday morning and found two notes on her door. One was written in Russian in the English. Both notes were in message: "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.
Yankovskaya and Kuykin are Soviet students.
Yankovskya and Vladimir Kuykin are the first Soviet undergraduate students to participate in a student exchange program between Leningrad State University and Moscow State University, and between Dedebi Dicki, 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."
Yankovskis, who will study history literature, and Kuvikin, 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 want to the conplete *tot* expression."
Loss of Margin worries officials
By Yvonne Guzman Kansan staff writer

The Legislature's failure to finance 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."

"Salary was a big factor in all those decisions," he said.

Sometimes departments do not have the problem of attracting and maintaining talented faculty because
Don Stull, associate charperson of the department of anthropology, said that last year the department hired three new faculty member in 13 years.
Although faculty salaries are a concern, they are not the only place where lack of Margin (financing will "live an impact"

Backfield, receivers return with depth and experience
Perhaps just as important, the Jahyhows also return depth and experience at full length. This is why the Jahyhows are so important.
Tony Sands, who gained 1,109 yards in just his second season with Kansas, returns as the starting tailback with high hopes for an even bigger junior year.
For the first time since 1981, when Kerrin Bell returned for his sophomore season, the Kansas football team has a returned 1,000-vard rusher in its backfield.
"I'd like to go over 1,500 yards this year," he said.
"If I was the coach, that's what I would do." Sands said. "You have to go after the guy."
Sandas realizes, though, that he will be the object of a great deal of attention from the public.
Bv Chris Oster
With that in mind, Sands has prepared to showcase different parts of his game.
Head coach Glen Mason said that Sands improvement was noticeable.
"I think he worked hard enough," Mason said. "He doesn't have the greatest hands at it."
Although he worked on his receiving a great deal, Sands said that he did not change his approach to the season and that he stuck with the style that worked.
