| 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. |

EMT students prepare for the unexpected through a mock accident By Stephanie Lane Scroll Senior Writer Dripping blood, protruding bones and ambulances made an appearance on Viking Drive, across from the Manwaring Student Center, Thursday. It's a good thing the accident wasn't real. A mock accident, entitled "The Double Whammy" started when the Rexburg City Water Department .and Ricks College Physical Plant simultaneously received calls that large quantities of water were running down Viking Drive. Due to an imagined blizzard conditions, the roads were icy and slick, especially Viking Drive. Students on their way to class supposedly slipped and fell on the ice in the path of a Ricks van that was going too fast to stop on the icy roads, resulting in one fake fatality and 13 pretend injuries. Ricks Emergency Medical Technician students, posing as victims, suffered injuries varying from minor bruises to major injuries, such as a broken pelvis. Jenna Huffman, sophomore from John Day, Ore., was made up with a Tim Rich, a sophomore from Bellevue, Wash., is wrapped in a blanket while Marc Maikoski, a freshman from Kalamazoo, Mich., is braced by two EMT students. large purple bruise on her abdomen. "You learn a lot from being a patient" Huffman said. Ambulances from Madison Memorial Hospital and police officers from Rexburg came on site to treat patients and dispatch information. 'They do exactly what they would have done if it were a real accident" said Sean Davis, sophomore from Hillspring, Alberta. Fake blood and rubber wounds added to the reality of the scene, while the "victims" acted out their ailments. Students even went so far as to scream when their non-existent wound was touched. EMT "victims" agree that the mock accident served as a good learning experience. 'The only difference is instead of Past mock accidents in Rexburg saved time and lives A mock accident between a train and an automobile occurred in 1988, and to add to the severity, the train was loaded with hazardous materials. The city and county used the mock experience to better their handling of hazardous waste and succeeded in preparing for such accidents. A few months after the mock accident, the Diet Center warehouse at the west end of Rexburg, experienced a real accident when it caught fire, and there was a real threat of released hazardous material. "It was just a coincidence that it happened so closely to the mock accident" said Max Brown, Ricks accounting instructor and mock accident coordinator. Last years' mock accident didn't have such dramatic results, but it helped police find a fault in the organization they wouldn't have thought of if it weren't for the mock disaster. Lieutenant Randy Lewis from the Rexburg City Police department said it helped their division appreciate the importance of stations to get information to officials. me being the victim, it will be me in the ambulance" Davis said. Emily Grow, a freshman from Union City, Calif., said, "You know what to do by watching what (the paramedics) do." Jan Harrop, adviser of the EMT program, said, "It gives (the students) a sense of what happens in a real accident." "The overall purpose of the accident was to check weaknesses and strengths in administration and communication in four entities" said Max Brown, Ricks College accounting instructor and director of this years mock accident. These entities include the City of Rexburg, Madison County, Madison Memorial and Ricks College. "It was successful in accomplishing the goals we set out" Brown said "People have recognized the importance of mock accidents over the years" Brown said. "These accidents are a good tool to use to prepare so we are not left so , much in the dark." R i c k s C o l l e g e R e x b u r g , I d a h o |
