| 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 THURSDAY, MAY 23, 1991 VOLUME 102 NUMBER 34 First term graduation largest ever By BECKY JONES Scroll News Editor This year's summer graduating class is the biggest ever, according to Jim Gee, assistant academic vice president at Ricks College. A total of 392 degrees will be awarded on May 31 in the Hart Gym. Of the total degrees awarded, 266 will be awarded to women and 126 will be awarded to men. There are 101 returned missionaries attending who will graduate first summer term, 23 foreign students, 94 married students and 9 couples. Ricks gets needed repairs By MELISA TOY Scroll News Editor Renovation work is full-blown across campus with major projects going on in almost every building on campus, according to Charles Frost, physical plant director. Frost seated, "When school lets out we tear this place apart." Already underway, brand new doors are being installed in three buildings on campus. Push-button doors are being put on the west side of the Kirkham Building, the north side of the Administration Building and the east side of the Romney. The push-button doors are to help "facilitate access for handicapped." Just finished in the Jacob Spori Building is a new electrical service which, according to Frost, replaced a 70-year-old system. Other work in the Spori includes new carpet being laid in the foyer. "We are half-way through refinishing the main gym in the Hart" Frost said. The gym should be completely done by August. The swimming pool in the Hart Building is also receiving its annual maintenance. Frost said it should be back in service in a couple of weeks. Smith rooms 220 and 222, the "case study classrooms" are in "major overhaul" Frost said. Both rooms are being painted, all cabi- See REPAIRS Page 8 "This is the largest May graduation we've ever had" said Gee. " I think it's a continuation of the large enrollment we had last spring semester." Because of the large number of students graduating first term, the graduation will take place in the Hart Gym. "We ran out of space last year in the Kirkham auditorium" said Gee. Gee's projections for summer school students is a 15 percent increase, and he hopes second and third term will even out his expectations. Although there was a record enrollment for first summer term of 1,614 students, Gee had hoped for approximately 1800. "Hopefully, through a combination of the next two summer terms, the figures will be closer overall" said Gee. The speaker at graduation will be Maureen Harris, chair of the Ricks College Nursing Department. Dean Sorensen, academic vice president, will present the graduates, and President Steven Bennion will confer the degrees. A special musical number will be presented by Michelle Mataele, a sophomore from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The Academic March will begin at 9:50 a.m., commencement begins at 10 a.m. and the graduation luncheon will begin at 11:30 a.m. in the MC West Ballroom. The Distinguished Service Award will be presented by President Bennion to Richard H. Stallings for his activities as a faculty member for 15 years and a congressman for Idaho.

The campus is undergoing several improvement projects this summer, including the installation of push-button doors for the use of handicapped students and faculty. Ricks housing for fall semester may be tight By MELISA TOY Scroll News Editor With fall semester just around the corner, housing is already filling up quickly; but, according to the Ricks College housing director, Richard Page, there are still openings in some men's and women's units around town. "It is getting progressively more difficult and complicated to get into housing" Page stated. He said women's housing is over a month ahead of schedule compared to last year and men's housing is two and a half months ahead of schedule. Although there are only six women's units and 11 men's units that still have openings, Page said he doesn't expect a shortage. "There should be several empty beds in women's units—possibly 100-200. Men's will be fairly tight, but we should get by" he said. Women's housing is available for fall 1991 and includes Aspen Village, Chaparral Duplex, the Cottages, Pineview, Ricks College Cafeteria Style and Sunrise Village. Men's housing includes Aspen Village, Castle Apartments, Chaparral, Hill's Apartments, Homer House, Kenwood, Miller Haus, Rainbow Park, Shenandoah, Smith Apartments and Stadium Vu. According to Page, the newly-built Birch Plaza and additions on Snow View and Autumn Winds have added "quite a few beds" to Rexburg's housing market. Each doubled their previous capacity. Snow View added 20, while Autumn Winds brought 48 beds. Birch Plaza, a new women's complex, is already full with a waiting list, bringing an additional 220 beds. The changes in Kenwood Apartments from married housing to all-men's housing brought another 138 beds. Students should be able to get housing Page said, but, "if they wait until August or September, few options will be available." Page said the "biggest difficulty" is married housing. " I don't think there should be a shortage, but it might test the creativity of some of our married students." |
