Bulletin board business brings in money
By JOHN HOOGESTEGER
Staff Reporter
Most students make the rounds of the KU bulletin boards to put up posters for a club they belong to or a cause they support.
But when Rick Sheridan, Lawrence special student, makes his weekly rounds he is strictly in it for the money.
"I was looking for a part-time job, and it seemed like a good idea," said Sheridan who started the business in October after reading about some San
Sheridan and his partner, Al Nissen,
run the Bulletin Board Ad Service,
which distributes business filters to
various locations both on campus and
in Lawrence.
Francisco students who put themselves through school by running a similar
BUSINESS WAS SLOW at first, but Sheridan and Nelson now have about 10 regular customers to serve when they come in, a bulletin board rounds every Tuesday.
Since starting the service, Sheridan has three enrolled cartoonists who are studying graphics at the University of Kangas to help with poster production.
"Distribution is something that anybody can do," said Sheridan. "We're trying to offer a complete service."
It costs $30 a week or $60 a month to get the complete postering service, which includes bulletin boards in several KU buildings as well as local
bars, laundries and other public places. Cost it $5-10 more if his service makes the poster "but that is a one-time expense," he said.
HOWEVER, RATES are negotiable, and three of Sheridan's customers have opted to use a barter system rather than cash. Sheridan said that often barter businesses would stay with the service more consistently.
"Right now we're building up an account at a used clothing store, and the lady there is on the lookout for clothes that fit us," he said.

Automotive, 928 Pennsylvania St., said
Most of his advertisers seem to be satisfied with the results of Sheridan's
BULLETIN BOARD SPACE is in high demand in Lawrence, and when Sheridan started the service he had to be careful about where he put the filers.
he felt that the service was the most cost-effective way to advertise
According to Pat Cayton Kehde of KU information services, all non-glassed bulletin boards on the KU campus are open to anyone, and that the only restrictions were implied rules of good taste.
"We don't hit department-only bulletin boards," said Sheridan. "We prefer half and quarter-page format for our fliers because the bulletin boards are already crowded and it's bad business for us to cover somebody else. We also have found that smaller fliers tend to stay up longer."
