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. |

Try this . In a ScroU-conducted survey, several students expressed desire to keep up with world happenings. But the same students cited problems with lack of time and available media, saying it is hard without a TV. Some students and faculty suggested time-efficient ways to keep up with the news. • News magazines: "Subscribe to a news magazine that contains national and political affairs and carry it in your backpack" said John Nielson, geography and world affairs instructor. "When you're waiting for someone or have time, pull it out and read." • News radio: Listening can be substituted for reading, said those tuning into the radio. •Please see Time page 17 Photo illustration by SARA COTTON domestic and international affairs in the news. Eighty-nine percent of 210 students answered cor-rectiy a question about the major league baseball strike. When asked about a foreign country, Bosnia-Herzegovina, 22 percent knew the requested background. "It's not like breathing or eating" said freshman Greg Adams, from Sugar City, Idaho, about keeping up on current events. "But it's nice to know sometimes." Students have varying reasons for being aware or unaware of news events. Freshman Jennifer Franckum, from Loveland, Colo., said, "There are certain things . . . that the media portrays as important, but whether O.J. (Simpson) is guilty or innocent really has no relevance to me." Other students and faculty agreed a basic awareness is important and why it is "nice to know." Geography and world affairs instructor John Nielson said up-to-date college students can participate in intelligent conversations about happenings and "understand all sorts of references to current events, not to mention in movies." He said those who don't go beyond the "only superficial understanding" are missing out, while others get involved and "get hooked on it." Stoney Mattson, a sophomore from Paris, Idaho, said becoming more news conscious "could affect their (students) future and jobs." Nielson spoke also of how awareness affects futures beyond the student's.

Bennion in a faculty meeting at the Snow drama theater. Bird, a resident of Sugar City said he has experienced a "roller coaster of emotions" since receiving official word from Pres.
