John C. Barrons, program ethics director at Convair, the San Diego-based subsidiary of General Dynamics Corp. "It wanes, then it catches the media's attention or the heart of the nation and it starts again." Certainly, it seems to have caught George Bush's attention. "W e are not the sum of our sessions " the President said in his maugural addres~. Some thmgs, he suggested, are more im- portant than money. The confounding thing about business though, is that it is mostly about money'. And mom:y creates competition. "When you have a highly competitive situation " said Neil B~ady, a professor of manage~ent at San J?iego State University, things "get unethical in a hurry." "I think you can build a case that there wasn't as much attention to personal busi- n_ess ethi~ during the Reagan administra- tion as might have been desirable" said Dennis Briscoe, a professor of hu~an re- sources management at the University of ~Diego.

.It wasn't too long ago that most compa- nies treated business ethics as if it were nobody's business. Then came Ivan Boesky, insider trading, Bhopal, the Dalkon Shield. Business ethics stopped being an oxymo- ron and became an issue. Much like the Bush administration's recent campaign for a higher code of governmental behavior many companies have been pressed to set their own standard of propriety. As a result, defense contractors have hired ethics directors. Business schools teach ethics classes. And Business Week magazine last year declared greed to be pass(!, Companies discovered "that it was essen- tial from a public policy standpoint and even from an internal standpoint to have a code of ethics," said David Mrovka, presi- dent of the International Association of Ethicists. . "Historically, we seem to go through pe- riods of great concern about ethics," said

Companies find that emphasis on ethics helps - not hurts the bottom line

Three of the cases, be said, were serious enough to threaten federal contracts, 38 were the sort that at- tract media attention and 426 were relatively routine. Six employees, Barrons said, were fired in 1988 for unethical conduct. Defining what is ethical is extraor- dinarily difficult, said Mrovka. There are complications caused by cultural differences, generations and experi· ence. Bribery, for example, is ac- cepted practice in some countries but not in the United States "Everything has to be blended to- gether so that it will all work," be said. For Barrons. business ethics is a matter of "knowing the truth and telling the truth. It's as simple as that." "Some people believe that compe- tition is woo by not telling the truth, -

few short meetings."

Business schools, nonetheless, have launched their own ethics courses in recent years. Harvard University, for example, bas opened a center on business ethics with a $20 million gift from John S.R. Shad. the former chairman of the Securities and Ex- change Commission. Att USD, B~coe said he has no- ticed students returning to the values of the '60s, when volunteerism, ideal- ism and social responsibility were hip. But he agrees that ethics aren't taught well or extensively to busi- ness students. Other cultures, such as the Japa• nese, added Mrovka are more will- ing to forsake quick, large profits for long-term benefits. "It all depends on how you define the bottom line: money or corporate reputation, ' Mrovka said. "It's the company reputation and status that translates into money."

·-··,~-~~-~-· five-run Egan IS not accustomeil to losing four-yE:ar record at USO · ng this season was 70-43. When a coach with such credentials loses 13 of 14 games, as the Toreros (7-18) bad entering last night's game at Portland, you have a coach with ophagitis. Brandenburg's Aztecs have experienced more success than that. The, are 11-14 gomg into tonight's game agamst l:SIU. But, in a way, D U's season has been even more disappointirg because more was e pected of tt, te m. The T rcros o start three phomores d f an, knew this would be rr" · ding year - a th gh they didn expect the goin to be quite this tough. The Aztecs, who start three niors and two juniors, expected to be competitive in the WAC and appeared to be just that as late as Jan. 7, when they were.8-4 overall and 2- in the conference. Since then we!' ym don't want to know. ' B·-,ndenburg, who had not suffered_ a losmg season m 11 years of D1v1s10n I coac~ing elsewhere, now appears destmed for his second st~~ight such experience at SDSU. When you know we can have a bet er team with better results than e\e had. it gets frustrating for everybody," be said. "Oil: expectation level is here (he held his hand above his head} and our performance level is here (waist level). Anytime there is a gap that big between the two, there's going to be higlr frustration." Ironically, the beginning of the end for the Aztecs came during one of their brighter moments _ a lirr rg 103-92 Joss to North arohna. Forward Sam Johnson suffered an ankle injury in that game, the first of a string of physical misfortunes that was to bring down this team. "I don't think anyone realizes just bow beat up we were in that five- week stretch of time (during January and early February)," Brandenburg said. "It bad a lot mor~ effect on us than most people realize. . "We got it back together one more time, then we kind of got fragmented again when we lost Bryan Williams (to suspension)." Egan, at least, can look forward to next season. All but one of his key players return. He has two , promising redshirts and a well- en

~kwood: It's tough year for Aztecs, USD Continued from C-1 o/ 5 reg_a~de~ early recruiting class waiting m the wings. There wi1l be better days. Egan's immediate concern is maintaining the morale of his youngsters until the turnabout come,. "The freshmen have their heads down a little bit right now but I don't want them to feel bad" be said. "Why should they feel bad? T~~y're doing a hell of a job for us. I want them to understand the t:11t~, that they're fighting a tough f1gb, for young kids. I'm disappointed in the way things are but I'm not disappointed in the ' kids." For encouragement, Egan points to St. Mary's, one of the West's most successful teams this season '.'St. Mary's, three years ago, was go~g th~ough a season exactly like we re gomg through now ,, Egan said. "They had a lot of f~esbmen good y~ung players, and they wo~ about six games. Now they're a really, really good team." Branden~urg faces a bigger rebu1ldmg Job, especially along bis front !me. But he's not quite ready to look that far ahead. "It's very important for our squad to play well and finish off our home basket~all games in good fashion for our semors," he said. "Our players physically, except for Sam Johnson, are in pretty good shape now. Now it becomes a mental game. What we have to do is start turning it on and start pointing for the conference tournament. " Afew postseason victories would g~ a long way toward taking some sting o~t of the regular season. But even without them, things could be worse. At lea_s~ Brandenburg doesn't have esophag1tis.
