Structure
Because the University of Dayton is a private university, it is theoretically in control of all content produced on university property. However, due to a long-standing agreement with the university, Flyer News has remained independent. The adviser for the paper, Dr. Larry Lain, has been in his position since the late 1980s. Unlike many other private college newspapers, the adviser exists only to provide feedback and advice to the current staff. The holder of the post does not act to censor, edit or otherwise control the content of the newspaper.
The newspaper employs numerous students who fill positions in the news, arts and entertainment, opinions, sports, design, advertising, business, copy editing, photography, web and editorial departments of the newspaper. At the end of each academic year, a panel of senior staff members selects an Editor-in-Chief for the following year. This Editor-in-Chief then selects his or her own staff for the following year.
Unlike many student publications, employees are not paid through an hourly wage or a salary but rather through a scholarship. The amount of the scholarship is based on the position held. The cost of these scholarships, along with all other expenses, are paid by Flyer News through the advertising that is included in the newspaper.

Famous quotes containing the word structure:
“What is the most rigorous law of our being? Growth. No smallest atom of our moral, mental, or physical structure can stand still a year. It grows—it must grow; nothing can prevent it.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“... the structure of a page of good prose is, analyzed logically, not something frozen but the vibrating of a bridge, which changes with every step one takes on it.”
—Robert Musil (1880–1942)
“Why does philosophy use concepts and why does faith use symbols if both try to express the same ultimate? The answer, of course, is that the relation to the ultimate is not the same in each case. The philosophical relation is in principle a detached description of the basic structure in which the ultimate manifests itself. The relation of faith is in principle an involved expression of concern about the meaning of the ultimate for the faithful.”
—Paul Tillich (1886–1965)
