| Description | The Scroll newspaper has been in print since 1905, when BYU-Idaho was known as the Ricks Academy, a locally run school with a newly-developed high school program. At the time this newspaper was known as the “Student Rays,” and was printed monthly. In 1933 the name of the newspaper changed to “The Purple Flash.” In 1937 the name was changed again to “Viking Flashes,” and in 1938 the name finally changed to “The Viking Scroll.” The paper continued under this name until 1972, when it changed to “The Scroll.” The Scroll is still in print at BYU-Idaho as its official newspaper. |

The keynote speakers at the conference were President Charles M. Grant and his wife, Gay Grant, both Ricks College faculty members. Brother Grant, former president of the California Anaheim Mission and the Missionary Training Center in Provo, Utah. Sister Grant spoke on the topic of being at ease with ourselves and with our fellow man. She said, "every one of us is going to lead" in one capacity or another, and "great leaders are at ease With themselves." The way to be at ease with oneself is to strive for repentance, work in partnership with the Lord, and live according to a knowledge of the gospel, she said. People, she said, who are "at ease with their fellow man can "see what needs to be done" and "build other people" through example, support and kindness. President Grant spoke of the principles and qualities a leader has, saying that a goal in leadership should be to have a positive effect Photo by ANDY ZOLLINGER Above, Charles Grant gives students hints and ideas about what qualities it takes to be an effective leader.

"A leader has been called of the Lord to f u l f i l l a specific purpose. He should strive to do those things that help the spirit guide him" he said. "A leader is obedient, a proper model to others and recognizes that leadership is an opportunity to serve, not to be served." Students were in teams to learn to work with others. The teams participated in games that helped them become acquainted with one another and learn the values of teamwork. In one of the games, different roles were given to participants. Some of the participants were to act positive, while others were given negative, roles. The students had to overcome the differences in their personalities to build an object together. Another game involved a rope that was stretched between a table and a piano. The entire team of students had to work together to get their team over the rope without touching it. Students were given the chance to attend three workshops of their choice. They covered a wide range of topics in order to help students focus on their areas of special concern. From interpersonal relationships and delegation to effective conducting and preparation, students and faculty with different levels of leadership experience were able to learn tactics and gain fresh ideas to help them lead. •Please see Leadership, Page 9 Photo by ANDY ZOLLINGER w.

I G G E R R e x b u r g n o b a r 9 a i n f o r apartment housing By Lindsay Pedersen Scroll staff College is an expensive adventure. At Ricks, tuition is $935 a semester, books and supplies average around $230 and groceries take at least $50 a month. That totals $1,350 that most students pay every semester; $2,700 for one year. But there is another bill that burns a bigger hole in students' pockets — housing. The average rent for a Ricks College-approved housing complex is $1,400 a year for women and $1,350 for men. The number of students in an apartment varies, but most apartments hold six. That equals out to a monthly $1,030 that owners get per apartment. Most Ricks College housing includes microwaves, dishwashers, social lounges, paid utilities, and furniture. An informal survey of 20 apartments in Boise and Idaho Falls, Idaho, showed the average monthly rate for a three-bedroom apartment is $675. That often includes a washer and dryer, microwave, dishwasher, pool, spa, air conditioning, balcony, patio, fitness center, a view and cable TV. Many also have fireplaces, covered parking and tennis courts. However, many non-student apartment complexes don't include utilities, which can cost $75 or more a month, and some are not furnished. These added costs raise the total to about $950, which is still significantly less than the average amount paid by a Ricks College students. Richard Page, housing office director, said the reason for the high housing rate is that there is an emphasis on creating the kind of housing that will sell in a college town. Page said that 10 to 15 years ago, all the housing complexes for Ricks were comfortably filled. There •Please see Housing, Page 9 R i c k s C o l l e g e • R e x b u r g , I d a ho |
