Gain/ Loss TL 8 G8 L2 |G2 ~ 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. See CHURCH, Page 2 INSIDE DEMOCRACY: Opinion comments on the state of representative politics. See Page 4.
