| 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. |

MIKE CALL AND TIM DOLL / Scroll Photo Illustration BY BRITTANY PFISTER Scroll staff Major surgery to be completed on the Ricks College "R" located on the eastern face of R Mountain has been postponed until late September, Doug Smith, ASRC program director said. The "R" was originally scheduled to be cemented Sept. 12 but Smith delayed laying concrete the day before the foundation was to be placed. Smith said the project was halted for three reasons: unfavorable weather conditions, the cost of weekend labor and to give Dome Technology, an Idaho construction company, time to hire a professional crew to do the job. Initially Ricks found 12 student workers who had planned to help four professionals lay the concrete "R." The contracted company will spray about 120 yards of gray concrete on the ground about two inches thick and a thin layer of white concrete over the gray to make the "R" appear whiter.

ASRC sees the vision of Homecoming '98 needs to be cemented to save money and look nicer, Smith said. Smith said laying cement on the "R" will save Ricks money in the long ran. In the past, funds were used to pay - please see THE 'R', Page for transportation, food and thousands of buckets of paint used to pour over the "R." Even with the help of the student body, only a portion of the "R" would be painted BY MINDY HAWS City editor The ASRC traded in its season of opportunity this year for a new vision they hope to share with students as Homecoming '98 continues through Saturday. The homecoming theme"See the vision, make it happen" is also ASRC's theme for the year. Angela Linford, ASRC executive vice president, said it takes several different elements to make a theme work. "A good theme is one that you can visually represent, that's catchy, that excites and that unites. It should bring the student body together" Linford said, adding that this year's theme fulfills most of those ideals. The ASRC council began formulating the theme during its leadership training retreat in Salt Lake City last summer. One of the recurring ideas during that retreat was deciding where you want to be and the importance of setting goals to get there. Several ideas for a theme surfaced during the retreat, although once it ended, the council still had not come ' up with a theme they could all agree on. After almost two weeks of meeting daily, brainstorming, studying and praying, the officers settled on two choices and submitted them to President Bednar's council where "See the vision, make it happen" came out on top. Linford said that once the theme was decided, everything else seemed to fall into place, making up for the group's rocky start. "We wanted something that could unite us as a group. Once we decided on a theme, that's when we really became united. We had that common goal" Linford said. ASRC Programs Vice President Monica Bean said the council hopes the theme will stick with students even after homecoming is over. " I hope everyone will take it in for the whole year because it pertains to everyday life as well as the future. It can really help you if you let it" Bean said. She added that it is important to have a theme during homecoming that can give everyone a main goal to work towards as well as something to base all their efforts on. Although the theme may not be directly related to most of the homecoming events, the officers hope it will reflect President Bednar's goal for the year: Making the student body recognize what a privilege and responsibility it is to be at Ricks. "We hope the student body sees a vision of what they can become and what their potential is" Linford said.
