Ethics in business a hard sellWeekend 5k will benefit homelessBy Michael McFall

The Student Health Advisory Com-mittee is hosting Run Like Health, an annual campus 5K race that will ben-efit the city’s poorest.

The race will provide an affordable alternative to other races for students and raise money for the homeless.

Run Like Health costs $5 for stu-dents. The cheapest entry fee for the Salt Lake City 5K is more than seven times that amount. The entry fee for non-students is $8.

The committee will donate a por-tion of the proceeds to The Road Home, a homeless shelter in down-town Salt Lake City. The need for the donations is even greater than it was at last year’s race. In the past 12 months, the Salt Lake Valley’s homeless population doubled from

about 4,000 to 8,000, according to panelists from The Road Home and homelessness charities at a Hinck-ley Institute of Politics forum earlier this year.

The Road Home is serving 79 per-cent more homeless people than it did two years ago, according to the shelter.

Although the cheap entry fees mean the organizers aren’t going to raise as much money as other races do per participant, the organizers hope the low price will encourage that many more to come out and run. The Run Like Health race will be held April 10 at 10 a.m., beginning at Rice-Eccles Stadium. From there, runners will race up to the engineer-ing buildings and then wind through campus back to the stadium.

By Liz CarlstonRod Blagojevich was fired by Donald

Trump on “The Celebrity Apprentice.” The former Illinois governor, who is accused of selling President Barack Obama’s senate seat and still faces charges, talked a twisted political game in an effort to shift blame in his team’s failed attempt in promoting the new Universal Studios Harry Potter theme park. Blagojevich was perceived as nice guy by many of his teammates, despite trying to throw them under the bus. Unfortunately, the trend is all too frequent in business today.

We can look at dozens of examples from companies that present ethical di-lemmas. For instance, many fast food restaurants post the nutritional details, not because they want their customers to be excited about consuming 900 calories in a single burger, but because they are choosing to help people make more informed decisions. Toyota didn’t

have to recall all the cars that took off speeding for reasons still unknown, but it chose to in order to ease the public relations nightmare.

Still, people who think they are being ethical often find themselves acting in a contrary manner when a high-stakes situation is presented. Kristina Diek-mann, a management professor at the U, is one of the authors of a new study that illustrates how business people are not necessarily as ethical as they would like to portray. We are all con-stantly battling the way we should be against our own self-interests.

Diekmann defines these two differ-ences as the “should-self,” or the ideal ethical person we all should be, as well as the “want-self,” which is often more dominant and puts ethics aside for a favorable self-interested outcome. The study identifies that one successful ethics violation will likely lead to others in the future.

What is your favorite event and why? Greg Marsden—co-head coach—“Vault, because I coach it. I enjoy all the events but beam, because guys normally don’t coach beam so they really have nothing to do with it and just feel helpless.”

Megan Marsden—co-head coach—“Balance beam because I really like the technical and mental toughness it takes to be successful on beam.”

Je! Graba—assistant coach—“I really like bars and !oor because of the techni-cal aspect of them. Bars, like beam, is a whole di"erent animal and tumbling is so dynamic.”

Cameron Linford—director of operations—“Floor is my favorite because all the coaches have the event they coach and they want to get the highest score every meet, but when we win !oor Jaymie (Goodsell, the team manager) and I get to take credit for it.”
