Student had bright future, friends remember
By MELISSA BIRKS
Stephen Hannagan likedto lift weights with his
housemates at the Intramural Building, but when he
complained about being sore, they would tease him
with the phrase, "Argue for your limitations, and
soon they will be yours." According to friends of
Hannagan; that phrase embodied Hannagan's philo-
sophy toward life.
Hannagan, a first year business school student,
died early Saturday morning after falling off a bal-
cony.
"We used to kid him -it kind of stood for the
way he was. If he wanted to do something, he'd do
b it," said one of Hannagan's former housemates.
HANNAGAN WAS joking around with some
other people at a party on the 1700 block of Geddes.
He had lifted up another party-goer, Michigan
Technological University junior Todd Bengtsson,
around the legs, according to Sgt. John King of the
Ann Arbor Police Department.
"He kept backing up; I was looking over my
shoulder and beginning to get a little uncomfortable,"
Bengtsson said. At that point, Bengtsson said,
Hannagan backed up against a waist-high concrete
rail. He released Bengtsson, but lost balance and fell
to the pavement below. Bengtsson had grabbed onto
the railing and was helped up.
Bengtsson, Hannagan, and one of Hannagan's
housemates had gone to two other parties shortly
before arriving at the Geddes Street apartment com-
plex.
Hannagan entered the business school fall term to
study marketing. He wanted to be a "marketing wizard
in the entertainment industry," according to a data
sheet he submitted to his marketing professor.
BUT HIS OTHER activities stretched from
working on political campaigns to running mara-
thons. He was director of the University's
Entrepreneurs Club and a member of Delta Kappa
Epsilon fraternity. He started his own business last
year, called Creativtee Shirts, which, involved
producing t-shirts for organizations around campus.
U' to enact
smoking ban
By KELLY McNEIL
A University-wide smoking ban will probably be
adopted later this week, to be effective Jan. 1,
University officials say.
The University policy would be stiffer than the
recently passed Michigan Clean Air Act because
smoking sections would be designated only in areas
such as lobbies, not in offices or other closed areas.
The Clean Air Act will take effect Jan. 1.
University Personnel Representative Ron Dick and
other members of the University smoking policy
task force will present the policy to the Executive
Officers this week.
The more restrictive University policy will be
approved this week, according to Personnel Director
James Thiry.
SOME CAMPUS buildings have already
enforced new smoking policies. The Undergraduate
Library confined smoking to Room 8 in the
basement. Until last September, smokers were
entitled to use the entire basement.
See RULE, Page 2
Hannagan, a native of Birmingham, Mich., was
the campaign manager for Oakland County
Commissioner David Moffit. In 1983, he placed
eighth in the 1983 Free Press Marathon. -
One of his housemates remembers Hannagan
"always on the go." He studied in the early morning
hours, insisting that his housemates stay up and
watch "Late Night With David Letterman" with him.
Hannagan was pledging Delta Sigma Pi, the
business school fraternity, this fall. According to his
pledge supervisor, business school senior Steve Price,
Hannagan was enthusiastic about the fraternity. When
Hannagan had to interview the 34 active members as
a pledge activity, he videotaped each member.
City may ask
local churches to
house homeless
By KERY MURAKAMI
Coordinators of the city's two homeless shelters
hope an Ann Arbor City. Council resolution
unanimously passed Monday will lessen the number
of homeless people their shelters turn away each
night.
The resolution authorizes the city to ask local
churches to take on about 20 homeless people a night
during the winter. Under the plan, according to Arbor
Haven Shelter Director James Wilson, churches
would take turns housing the shelters' overflow
beginning in December, when colder weather
endangers the health of the homeless.
The resolution also sets up two new homeless
shelters that will house only women and families.
ACCORDING TO Kathy Zick, director of the
Ann Arbor Homeless Association, the Huron Street
shelter is always filled to its limit of 48 occupants,
and another 15 homeless people are turned away each
night. Because of the cold weather, that number
grows during the winter.
