About 250 students form a human chain around the Capitol to urge support for the Margin of Excellence.

system, obtain a waiver that would prevent notification of her parents
Representatives questioned the constitutionality of Lucas' bill because it lacked such a provision. Bills without the provision have been overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court.
Because of the number of people scheduled to address the committee,
testimony was limited to two and a half minutes, cutting short some of the speakers. But they managed to deliver their message.
"Being a mother is my full-time occupation," said Claire Renyer, lobbyist for Right to Life of Kansas. "I have a lot of experience at mothering being blessed with 13 children, five of whom are 18 and under, four of these
are girls.'
Renyer said that she found it hard to believe a girl could get an abortion without notifying her parents but could not get cough drops in school without parental permission.
"If she needs permission to take a little cough drop, it surely looks like I could be notified if she was seeking an abortion." Renyer said.
Hayden vows to support cigarette tax for Margin
Gov. Mike Hayden told Lobby Day participants yesterday that he would sign a Senate-backed tax increase on cigarettes and tobacco products if it came to his desk.

"I wouldn't make any predictions about what will happen in the House," Hayden said. "If in fact a cigarette tax comes to my desk, I will sign it."
However, the bill is not expected to pass the House, according to several area legislators.
The tax money could be allocated to the state's higher education programs, and it could funnel down to the Margin of Excellence, Hayden said.
"If the money is available, I'll approve the Margin," he said.
The House Taxation Committee now is deliberating the $12 million bill that would put a 5-cent increase on a pack of cigarettes and a 5 percent tax increase on other tobacco products.
"The last two years have been particularly noteworthy because we have been able to provide the Margin," Hayden said. "The situation is a little different today. The state government is spending $125 million more than it's taking in."
Hayden said he didn't think it was likely that any major taxes would be approved by the Legislature.
"We do have some opportunity, but it's too early to tell," Hayden said.
He said he did not expect this year's allocation for the Margin to be as good as the previous two, which received 83 percent and 100 percent financing, respectively.
I think higher education will have a good year," Hayden said. "But I don't think we can expect the kind of increases that we've enjoyed the last couple of years simply because the money is not available.
"The budget is tight. The drought has had a severe impact on income related to agriculture. Corporate profits are down substantially."
Randall Morrison, Lawrence graduate student, said, "The only positive thing in the governor's comments was he said he would sign the cigarette tax."
Coan
Continued from p. 1
In 1986, Coan left his job as assistant dean of men, and KU created the Office of Foreign Student Services. He became its first director.
"As we got more and more foreign students, I spent more and more time in that," Coan said. "It was a very good move. When you have more staff and more resources, you can do more long-range planning and development of programs."
In his 33 years at KU, Coan has served on numerous committees and boards, but the one he'll miss the most is the National Association for Foreign Student Affairs.
Although he was a past president of the association, Coan said he was surprised to receive its regional distinguished service award in Fall 1989.
"He's someone who encourages everyone to be a learner because he's a model of that himself," Martin said.
Sara Martin, assistant director of foreign student services, said Coan was irreplaceable, both personally and professionally. She said she had
earned a lot from him since she segan working in the division of student affairs in 1881 and then in foreign services in 1888.
He taught her ways to be creative while maintaining ethics with individuals who were exceptions to the immigration laws, she said. Coan taught her the balance between serving most of the people most of the time but also being fair to exceptions. "Systems have rules, and people have to fit into those rules," Martin said.
She said Coan taught her about the gray areas of immigration ethics.
Caryl Smith, dean of student life, has worked with Coan for 20 years. Coan became associate dean of student life in 1978.
She likened Coan to an encyclopedia, a man with a wealth of knowledge about KU and with contacts at universities around the country.
Coan announced his decision to retire in December, and a search committee was formed last month.
"It's going to be very hard to replace him," Ballard said. "He just knows so much about the University."
Barbara Ballard, chairman of the search committee, said she had received about 50 applications by the deadline Friday afternoon. However, mailed applications that were post-marked Friday will be accepted this week.
Ballard said the search committee hoped to interview qualified applicants in March. She said they planned to offer the job to a candidate in late April or early May. The position will be available July 1, 1960.
