They're not paid for their work and they're carrying a full class load.. It's a high intensity job," he said. Unlike Friese, Frederick says his paper is not suffering from a lack of advertising revenue. "The ad market is looking good. We are steadily picking up customers. As time goes by, our ad revenue will gradually approach our costs." Frederick did say, however, that the paper is in debt and one of the paper's printers is threatening to sue. He said such problems occurred after his resignation. Frederick blames Chris Henderson, former managing editor, for the debts. In an open letter Frederick wrote to Henderson on Dec. 28, Frederick said Henderson financially ruined the paper by making money decisions without consulting the staff, contract with Hoffine Printing including a when the paper had no operating budget. Despite such problems, Frederick said the Continuum plans to operate "full steam ahead." However, Henderson said the Continuum won't survive. "Money isn't the problem; it's an identity crisis. There is no central authority and it's hard to hold individuals and psychotic people together without it." Henderson said Frederick destroyed the paper. "The organization became more important than the individual. Once egos were bruised, people quit." "We just had the wrong group of people on the staff. You couldn't have these people work on any paper and have it work," he said. Unity is one important aspect of keeping an alternative paper alive. Without it, internal conflicts will pull the paper apart, one editor said. "People on the staff have to be dedicated and know where they stand," said Merrill Oates, associate editor of The Student Review, an alternative newspaper at BYU. The Student Review has been operating for more than a year. And although it's had its share of problems, Oates said it's a success. "The re have been some weeks when we've cut it very close and almost didn't go to press. We've had some internal problems, but we made a point to respect people's opinions and abilities," he said. Oates said although The Student Review has had to generate its own revenue and distribute its papers off campus, it has received a lot of support. "We print 7,500 copies and they're all usually picked up. Overall, the response has been good." Although each of the publications has experienced problems, there is one thing they all agree upon an alternative newspaper is essential. "I think poetry and stupid cartoons are as much a part of communication as bad news. Utah is a good place for such a Henderson paper because its culture is so cash-on-deliv- ery non-divers- e," said. Friese agreed, "Alternative papers offer things that the central papers do not. Competition between two papers is the best way to see different angles." ''""it r r'lii.'
