Random Numbers in Scheme R5RS?

I'm wondering if there are any non library means of creating random numbers in Scheme?
Mostly I use PLT (in R5RS mode only) or PocketScheme.

Right now I'm looking at the log congruential method in Sedgwick's Algorithms book but that algorithm has been complained about many places.
