csh question

I use a Bourne shell script that I call "news" to read netnews. I defined
a csh alias
alias news '(checknews -q || \news)'
so that I can run it in either the foreground or the background. It works
fine in both modes, but when it runs in the background and I get notification
it says something like
[1] + Stopped (tty output) ( < ^A > ^A )
Why the "^A"s and the redirection symbols? (This is on ultrix 2.2).
