he second annual Hilton Business'
Ethics Week, sponsored by Delta*
Sigma Pi Business Fraternity and the
College of Business Administration,
commences today in St. Robert’s
Auditorium.
The week was first held last year dur¬
ing Lent in response to other schools
which sponsored similar ethical pro¬
grams. The idea was born in the College
of Business Administration, and it is the
only college to continue the program.
“When making decisions, we hope
that profit will not be our only con¬
sideration. We are forced to make deci¬
sions with additional considerations
such as ethics,’7 said Arthur Gross
Schaefer, Assistant Professor in the Col¬
lege, who teaches business law and
business ethics classes.
Schaefer succinctly defines business
ethics as “how lo succeed or survive in
the world thinking how the world ought
to be. The week is an attempt to
heighten on^’s consciousness and let
them know that one can be successful
and ethical. Each of us has to create our
own life as we see it, not as others tell us
to live.”
The Hilton corporation has donated
money io help establish a chair to teach
business ethics at LMU. “In the mean¬
time, we are using some of the funds to
teach the whole community,’’ Schaefer
said.
“This week is very unique,’’ Schaefer
noted. “No other university has
anything like it. Many business pro¬
fessors are cancelling class so their
students can attend the different
events.’’
The week begins with a panel discus¬
sion on the issue of toxic wastes from 3
to 5 p.m. tonight in St. Robert’s
Auditorium. Some of the panelists in¬
clude Kate Karam from Greenpeace,
Clarence Gieck, president of the Hazar¬
dous Waste Association of California, a
spokesperson for Casmalians Against
Pollution. Casmalia, north of Santa
Barbara, is currently in litigation involv¬
ing over one billion dollars. This na¬
tional issue was recently highlighted on
the cover of Time magazine and is ex¬
pected to provoke lively discussibn.
At 7:30 p.m. a two-hour movie, El
Norte, will introduce the issue of un¬
documented workers who are entering
the United States from Central America
in increasing numbers. The producers of
the film and Guatemalen refugees will be
on hand for a discussion afterwards.
The presentation is sponsored by Cam¬
pus Ministry.
On Wed. Feb. 19, a panel of labor
union leaders* civil rights activists, and
government immigration officials will
discuss the topic in a discussion called
Undocumented Workers: Economic
Boon or Social Bust? The talk will take
place in Strub Theatre in Foley from 3 to
5 p.m. It is sponsored by Fernando
Guerra and Chicano Supportive Ser¬
vices,
A presentation titled Executive Ethics
and Corporate Actions is slated for Feb.
19 at 7 p.m. The discussion with
lawyers, bankers, and academics will
cover topics like green mail, golden
parachutes, insiders training, going
private, and takeover benefits and costs.
On Thurs. Feb. 20, speakers will at¬
tend individual classes to talk about
topics specifically selectged to meet cur¬
riculum needs. ■
"we hope profit will not be the only consideration
Afro-American Services head Simpson resigns

Afro-American Supportive Ser¬
vices no longer has a permanent
director. Former director Sam Simpson
will be temporarily replaced by Sr.
Dorothy Guarino, R.S.H.M.
A search committee was formed in
late December by Dr. Henry F. Durand,
Vice President for Student Affairs, to
find a permanent replacement for Simp¬
son. None has been found yet.
Durand told the Loyolan, “we will
replace Simpson as soon as we can ... we
want a good candidate.”
Simpson submitted his resignation in
October.
The role of Afro-American Suppor¬
tive Services is to serve the needs of
black students. Garry Roberson , f ormer
assistant director of the department,
commenting on future of the program,
said “I don’t know, it’s up in the air...
students using the service [without a
director] will be up the creek without a
paddle.”
But Durand emphasized that he backs
the current role of the department. “I
intend to continue, [with the services],
I’m committed to them,” he said.
The department, founded in 1979, is
funded through Student Affairs.
Some functions of the department in¬
clude counseling and support for black
students, as well as a historical festival
which highlights Black History Month.
Some look to Roberson as a replace¬
ment for Simpson. Roberson now works
in the Admissions Department recruiting
new students. ■
