| 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 | RICKS COLLEGE REXBURG, IDAHO THE SCROLL WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 24,1990 VOLUME 102 NUMBER 8 Cottages fail inspections; deemed unsafe by city By HEATHER BUCK Scroll Senior Writer After failing four city inspections and an inspection made by Intermountain Gas, The Cottages owner, Steve Clark, is struggling to redeem his housing status before it is too late. On Oct. 15, the complex was cited for violations of fire, electrical, building and plumbing codes, as well as federal and state regulations concerning natural gas usage. A state electrical inspection was also made, but results have not yet been available. According to City Attorney J.D. Hancock, some violations may be considered misdemeanors, and Clark could stand trial to decide his punishment for them. He said the penalty could range anywhere from a zero to $300 fine and/or zero to six moths in jail. "It Gov. Andrus visits Ricks By TIFFANY STEWART On-campus News Editor Governor Cecil Andrus was on campus Saturday to attend the Ricks vs. Wenatchee game and participate in a Democratic Banquet and Rally. After the game, Andrus stopped just long enough to shake hands with the children and adults who wanted to meet him, and to visit with a student from Boise. Andrus commented that it was a great game, saying, "We were ranked number one and I have every confidence that we'll make it to Tulsa" referring to the junior college national championships. Andrus is campaigning for.a fourth term as the governor of Idaho. Only one other man has attempted this. Andrus said he definitely considers himself pro-life, and commented that the controversial abortion bill he vetoed earlier this will probably be four to six weeks before it is calendared" he said. Because of the code violations, the city of Rexburg denied the complex an occupancy permit, and told owner, Steve Clark, and tenants of the Cottages that "anyone desiring or continuing to live in (the) apartments (would) do so at their own risk." In a meeting meant to "clarify the problem" for the girls living in the apartments, Mack Shirley, Ricks College Vice President of Student Life, said the city was just trying to limit its own risk and liability. At the same meeting, Ric Page, Director of Housing, said, "If we felt that the building was an imminent danger, we would take swifter and more expedient action We do not feel that they [the apartments] are going to fall in on you or blow up on you." Many of the violations have been rectified since the Oct. 15 inspection. However, Clark is scrambling to pass all remaining inspections to meet an end-of-November deadline with the Ricks Housing department to obtain an occupancy permit. If he does not make that deadline, the new Cottages will not be considered approved housing for next year. LaRoy Hillman, a general contractor for the building at the Cottages, said all fire and plumbing code violations had been remedied as of Tuesday, except for the lack of a wash basin. The electrical problems remaining consist mainly of a few outlets that do not work, as well as several missing kitchen circuits. On Tuesday, Jack Caldwell, a representative of Intermountain Gas, said all of the violations concerning gas usage were completely corrected, and that they "had no complaints." Some painting and siding still needs to be completed on the outside, and some parking lot work remains. By Oct. 27, if the weather is good, Clark hopes to have all exterior work finished. Construction on the new Cottages was scheduled to be completed Aug. 30. The city, in an attempt to preserve housing for the girls who had contracts to live there, extended the deadline to Oct. 15 to finish up. "The city tried to be extra lenient" said Hancock. The housing department sent a formal request to Clark telling him he should have See C O T T A G E S Page 5 See ANDRUS PageS Photo by SHARA GRANT President Steven D.

Orvcampus 911 number revised to ensure quick response By WENDY McUNE Scroll Senior Writer Ricks has installed a new 911 emergency line which necessitates the changing of the Ricks College calling card system. For years, getting emergency help was only a 911 away, on a telephone. Unless you were calling from Ricks College. From the college, accessing an outside line was necessary to access prompt help. Gaining access to an outside line was accomplished by dialing an 8, and then 911. However, the new emergency system requires only the three digits, 911. The new calling system interferes with the current calling card system where callers dial a 9 before making a call. The new system requires long-distance callers to dial 8, then the area code and the number. Then, after a beep sounds, dial the eight-digit calling- card number. Jeanne Stoddard, supervisor of the Ricks Telephone office said this only works with a Ricks College calling card. Madison County is also trying to change their emergency 911 system. Lionel Koon, Madison County Sheriff said the county is considering an enhanced 911 system. The enhanced system will allow emergency service even if the caller cannot speak. "It would allow us to immediately identify the phone that the call came from and any peculiar health problems involving the residents" Koon said. Koon said that an advisory vote at November's election will ask voters if they w ant the enhanced 911 service but he said the actually referendum will not be on the ballot for two years. He said he expects voters will want the increased service. "I think it will (pass) and I expect the advisory to as well. It's a reasonable way to get emergency help" Koon said. With the new system, the phone company will put each residents name, address and telephone number on computer. Koon said that as soon as the last 1 is dialled, the computer will lock onto the name, address and phone number of the person. If a person is suffering a heart attack or can't say anything for another reason, help can still be dispatched. Koon said that another advantage of the new system allows residents to have on the computer, information concerning health problems that may require medical care. The system will also have a part that will allow the dispatcher to communicate with the hearing impaired and provides the ability to record messages. Currently, if two different emergency people are needed, the computer automatically contacts all who may be needed. Koon said that with the current system, one dispatcher receives the call and has to call the others. The enhanced system will cost between $250,000 and $300,000, Koon said. |
