Stop the presses
Alternative paper hits campus
Some 4,000 copies of a new bi
weekly newspaper, the Oregon
Commentator, hit the newsstands
Monday morning.
The new non-profit publication,
is published by Dane Claussen, a
former Emerald ASUO associate
editor. The Commentator is an
alternative newspaper that
"believe(s) in the newspaper's
role as an opinion leader, rather
than simply recording and reflec
ting a viewpoint," writes Claussen
in his "Publisher's Files" column.
The newspaper will offer articles
about science, business and
economics and debate education
issues, tasteful humor and satire,
according to Claussen's column.
Additional copies will be printed
as advertising allows, says
Claussen.
"Commentator articles will tell
you what the other publications
on campus are unable to tell you
because of the inexperience, in
competence or narrow
mindedness of their staffs," writes
Claussen.
Oregon Daily Emerald Editor
Debbie Howlett says she is glad to
see an alternative paper on
campus.
"I tKinl it'c nrpij I *Kinlr
there's a need for students to have
a choice of opinions and in what
they want to read," she says.
But the Commentator isn’t in
direct competition with the
Emerald, Howlett says. "We have
the same market, but we're not in
competition," she says.
Commentator editors agree.
"We will complement rather
than compete," says Michael Rust,
a Commentator associate editor
and a former Emerald associate
editor.
"To plan to compete in any way
would be too complimentary to
them (other campus
newspapers)," writes Claussen.
"We appreciate their activism,"
says Jim Middaugh, ASUO
publications coordinator. "We
find it generally well researched
and written."
However, "we regret that they
talked about other publications
being 'inexperienced, incompe
tent and narrowminded.' Mid
daugh is editor of the Survival
Center’s Oregon Advocate.
The paper is subsidized through
the resources of the staff and
advertisements. Rust says.
Commentator has applied for
use of unoccupied EMU space on
a rental basis. The House Commit
tee of the EMU Board of Directors,
which handles such applications,
is meeting Wednesday. The
publication has filed for registra
tion with the ASUO for the pur
pose of having access to meeting
space, but not for funding.

ASUO paper gets new name, editor
The ASUO executive branch an
nounced two changes affecting
the ASUO programs newspaper —
a new editor and a new name.
)im Middaugh, a senior in jour
nalism and political science, has
replaced Mary Hope as editor.
Hope left the University because
of financial reasons.
The paper's name, originally an
nounced as Not the Emerald, has
been changed to Off the Record
because tthe Oregon Daily
Emerald published a parody issue
April 1 two years ago and holds
rights to the name Not the
Emerald according to Sherri
Shultz, ASUO executive assistant.
Shultz also says some ASUO
staff members, including Mid
daugh, were not comfortable with
the name.
ASUO Pres. Mary Hotchkiss
says she has mixed emotions
about the change in editors.
"Im disappointed and sad that
Mary Hope had to leave," Hot
chkiss says. "But I'm glad to have
Jim and think he will do a good
job."
Middaugh, who edited his high
school paper in San Jose, Calif.,
and is also editor of the Survival
Center's newspaper The Ad
vocate, said he is "a bit apprehen
sive” about his new job but is
looking forward to the challenge.
The first issue of the monthly
paper should hit the newsstands
Nov. 7 or Nov. 8 and Middaugh
says that doesn't leave him much
time.
"I need help,” he »ays. The
paper needs volunteers to write
copy, people to sell advertising on
commission and the programs to
submit copy, Middaugh says.
Middaugh says the bulk of copy
will come from the ASUO pro
grams, but the paper will have an
editorial column and he has of
fered a column to the inter
fraternity council.
Long-range goals include
establishing a community calen
dar, a legislative update and an oc
casional poetry or fiction piece, he
says.
But right now Middaugh just
wants to get Off the Record off the
ground.
"I hope the programs will take
advantage," he says. "The success
hinges on getting copy."
