St. Cloud State U. student makes $60,000
with bathroom wall advertising business
By Nancy Stuntebeck
University Chronicle
St. Cloud State U.
A St. Cloud State U. student has turned
bathroom walls into a $60,000 venture.
Tony Jacobson plasters the walls of
over 100 restrooms in Minnesota with
advertisements. The marketing major
leases restroom wall and stall space from
restaurants, nightclubs, convention cen-
ters and sports clubs, and then sells the
space to local advertisers.
Bathroom advertising is a relatively
new idea, with only a few agencies across
the country. Jacobson and his partner,
James Arabanos, became interested
after hearing about one such company in
Florida. They founded A.J. Enterprises
in December 1987.
"People saw A.J. Enterprises as a fly-
by-night idea," Jacobson says. "It was
hard to get our foot in the door because
we were a new company, and our concept
was difficult to grasp."
The company now boasts a clientele of
more than 300, and it has been featured
in more than 20 newspapers and
Advertising Age magazine. Jacobson has
set up his main office in Minnetonka with
branches in Minneapolis, St. Paul,
Duluth, Rochester and Bismark, N.D.
With the company's incorporation in
January and financing from a major
advertising agency, he hopes to expand
his business throughout the Midwest and
possibly nationwide. He also expects to
increase his first year sales of $60,000 by
five to 10 times.
Jacobson attributes his success to hard
work, experience in selling and his will-
ingness to take a risk. "Starting the com-
pany was a risk because I was still in
school.
"We started the company with nothing.
I saw the opportunity and liked the idea
of working for myself instead of for some-
one else."
Jacobson likes the title entrepreneur,
saying college students are not encour-

IT'S ACADEMIC
Doing time ... Some Washington State
U. criminal justice majors gained
firsthand experience this summer by
living and working at the county jail.
Six students received room and board
in exchange for 32 hours a week as
correction officers. The students
eased the load on the jail staff by
preparing meals, performingjanitori-
al work and supervising inmates.

An alternative to med school ... Students
interested in health-related profes-
sions will find an unusual option in
Flagstaffthis fall, as the country's sec-
ond school of midwifery opens its
doors. According to Joan Remington,
a licensed midwife and academic
director, the school will be structured
similarly to the only other school for
midwives in Seattle. The 10 to 12 stu-
dents admitted each year to the three-
year certification program will take
classes in genetics, embryology, fam-
ily planning, pharmacology and
anatomy. In addition, they will be
required to complete a minimum
1,000-hour clinical program.
Applicants must have completed two
years of college with a cumulative
grade point average of 2.5 or better..

Course challenges MBAs on ethics
To get 12 cassettes for a p enny!
By Heather Maher
The Daily Iowan
U. of Iowa
A recent study of ethics education in
graduate business schools found that
most schools now require education in
ethics. But only 12 percent of schools
have a separate course that teaches just
ethics, according to the Ethics Resource
Center survey.
The U. of Iowa's MBA program is part
of that 12 percent, requiring all its MBA
candidates to take the course "Society,
Law and Business."
Taught by associate professor Nancy
Hauserman, the class tries to teach eth-
ical decision-making rather than to sim-
ply dictate to students which specific
business practices are right or wrong.
Hauserman said the MBA students she
teaches are sensitive to the lack of respect
their career choice may bring them. "I
think more students today are aware of
a lack of ethics in business or of a percep-
tion of that. I think that the public thinks
that both business and government suf-
fers from this, and MBA students aren't
anxious to fall into that. I don't hear a lot
of people say 'Give me a million dollars
and forget the ethics.'
Fostering awareness is a primary goal
of business ethics studies, and under-
standing the need to carefully weigh deci-
sions made at the corporate level in terms
of how ethical they are is an important
part of gaining such awareness. But the
associate dean of graduate programs in
the College of Business, William Greer,
says ethics can be difficult to teach.
"We can give students a list of rules, but
we want them to think about problems
for which there are no rules, think about
how to treat their fellow humans well,"
he said.
