| 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. |

Russian politicians apparently became irritated after a recent visit by evangelist Billy Graham. He brought together 30,000 of his followers at a Moscow arena and caused an uproar. In order for the resolution to become a law, it would have to be approved and signed by Russian President Boris Yeltsin. At this point the Russian Parliament has signed the bill and all they are waiting on is for Yeltsin to make his decision. Reports indicate Yeltsin's support sways in favor of the proposed ban, but Senator Lugar, from Indiana, is currently working on a letter to Yeltsin discouraging the signing of the ban, which almost 30 senators have signed already and more are still reading the letter. The senators who have signed the letter to Yeltsin include: senators Paul Simon, Bob Graham, Bob Dole, Jesse Helms, Hank Brown, Richard Lugar, Dan Coats, Trent Lott, Dave Durenberger, Sam Nunn, Herb Kohl, Carl Levin, Malcolm Wallop, Ted Stevens, Alfonse D'Amato, Carol Moseley-Braun, Mitch McConnell, Richard Shelby, Don Nickles, Tom Lantos, Frank R. Wolf, Mike Parker, Terry Everett, Dick Swett, Christopher Smith, Henry Hyde, Ralph Degula, Fred Upton, Randy Cunningham. One of Lugars employees, Jon Hanford, explained that the letter discourages Yeltsin's signing the ban. The letter compliments Yeltsin on his leadership in guiding the nation in a "transformation toward democracy and the establishment of civil liberties" and acknowledges that his struggles have not been easy. The letter goes on to note the progress made in granting religious freedom, that was guaranteed by the 1990 Law on Freedom of Conscience. Then the senators expressed concern for Article 14, the new law awaiting Yeltsin's signature, which restricts the freedom of American and other non-Russian religious organization to "exercise the free practice of religious activities." One provision of Article 14 prohibits all independent religious activities by foreign religious organizations and workers, including missionary activities and publishing. It states that foreign religions workers may only serve in Russia if they are formally attached to a Russian religious organization and have received official "accreditation" by "state authorities." The letter to Yeltsin also expresses the United States' concern that if the law was passed it would "force many foreign religious organizations to cease providing services and leave" Russia. It says that among the religions to leave would be many "reputable American organizations which have served the people of Russian a see RUSSIA page 8 Photo by MAGGIE FREI Despite the cold and impending rain, Suzanne Chandler, a freshmen from Turlock, Calif., works for the grounds crew picking dead flowers out of the arrangement in front of the Manwaring Center. 1 Today's Weather 1 1 ART'S ^i^ij • SP0RTS Highs: 85-90 Lows: mid 50s 'Coneheads' page 6 t.
