| 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. |

| Description | Thursday, July 29, 1999 S U M M E Crawling the headlines Hobo spiders are a big threat in Rexburg BY DAVID BROWNING Scroll staff This hobo seems to have no problem finding a home. Unlike its European counterpart that rarely comes indoors, the hobo spider, Tegenaria agretis, on the North American continent is slowly creeping across Washington, Oregon, Idaho and portions of Utah and western Wyoming, eventually making its home among us. The Ricks College Health Center reports few cases of bites, particularly hobo spider bites. It is difficult to document how many incidents occurred due to hobo spider bites, according to District 7 Health Department, because those types of records are not kept. However, in 1994, 10.9 percent of the national total of spider bites reported to poison control centers were in Idaho, Washington and Oregon, where the hobo spider is more densely populated. These states make up for just four percent of the national population. Although once referred to as "the Aggressive Spider" hobo spiders only act in defense when threatened, perhaps if trapped in clothing or bedding. The hobo bites swiftly, opening its scissor M fangs, injecting them into the victim, then quickly withdrawing. However, less than half of hobo bites' victims actually contract venom. About half of hobo bites' victims see normal symptoms, the most common being a severe headache following the attack. Experts conclude aspirin should not be used, since aspirin can actually further bleeding time. Other symptoms include: dry mouth, nausea, weakness and lethargy, dizziness, visual disturbances, hallucinations, joint pain, etc. Its poisonous bite may have a variety of effects, and a person suspected to be bit by a hobo spider should seek medical assistance immediately. A hobo spider bite is commonly characterized by a large area of redness surrounding the affected area. This redness usually lessens, leaving a smaller red area, similar to that of a mosquito bite. Cyst formation under the skin is prevalent Blistering may occur within 24 to 48 hours of the bite. These blisters may burst, revealing an open wound. Following scab formation, the wound may have a "bulls-eye" appearance, which may eventually scar. Preventative measures are possible to avoid a hobo spider bite. Since hobo spiders cater to lower areas, particularly floors and the first four feet of wall space, keep clothes and iNTFRNATiON FOLK DANCE FESTIVAL REXBURG WELCOMES CULTURES FROM AROUND THE WORLD FOR THE INTERNATIONAL FOLK DANCE FESTIVAL.

Vest, of Eagle Rock Research in Idaho Falls, can be purchased at several nearby retail stores. Using pesticide methods is difficult to isolate a particular area, when the hobo spider can simply migrate to another area. However, spraying the base of the home, including areas, can kill possible egg cases, plus any existing adult hobo spiders. It is assumed this large spider laid egg cases onto commercial cargo, which arrived in the Port of Seattle. The spider is a well-known field spider in Europe. A hobo spider, or Tegenaria agretis, commonly makes its American home near foundations of homes, beneath wood piles, rocks or lawn ornaments. Summer conditions often bring an increased number of hobo sightings. Often, male hobo spiders will come indoors in search of a mate.
