| 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. |

About 7,800 students applied to Ricks for the 1994-95 school year, but only about 4,000 could be accepted. This meant rejecting about four students for every 10 applying. The church set enrollment limits at 7,500 in 1988, but enrollment has still continued to soar. Even this year the college remained 700 students over the limit. Gordon Westenskow, director of admissions, said the LDS Church set limits because of the cost factors involved in running a college. He said Ricks isn't the only college facing this dilemma. "Colleges around the country are getting tougher to get into" he said. "States have fewer tax dollars, but more students are applying." Madison High School senior Jay Lene Chadwick said she applied in November but didn't receive her rejection notice until April, which said the college just didn't have enough room for all its applicants. Chadwick said she was shocked, because she'd always counted on coming to Ricks. Her college career is now uncertain, since Ricks is the only school she applied to. "Ricks is the only place I ever thought of going to. I can't afford to go anywhere else" she said. Although she understands that students from around the world apply to Ricks, she thinks the church should make more efforts to expand its capacity or build another Latter-day Saint college. According to Westenskow, dependents of faculty members must qualify for admissions just like any other student. All students must be prepared academically and spiritually when applying, he said. There are 84,000 LDS high school seniors this year in the United States and Canada alone. The church colleges can only accommodate about 10,000 of these students. 'The interests just outweigh the resources, and we can't possibly accommodate all of them" Westenskow said. LDS institute programs exist at colleges nationwide for this reason. He added, "The church may not be able to accommodate everyone who would like to come to a church college, but they can keep up with their student members through the Institute program." Westenskow advises Ricks applicants to have an alternative plan established: "It's not a given that you'll get in. No one's guaranteed admission here. We can't help everyone, but the church programs do provide for everyone."
