 Financial Aid for College Season Has Arrived Early
|
The financial aid for college season has arrived earlier than ever. Future and current college students are able to begin filing their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) Oct. 1. This is a permanent change from the former application opening date in January. The College of Southern Idaho urges students who are considering taking classes next fall to apply soon.
Applying for and receiving federal financial assistance for college takes preparation. The reason many students don't receive their assistance in time to make their tuition and book payments is that they don't plan far enough ahead. The application generally takes about 30 minutes online as long as applicants are prepared with all the necessary information. Families will now be able to fill out the FAFSA using tax information from 2015. It also means families will be able to use the IRS Data Retrieval tool found at
www.fafsa.gov to fill in relevant tax information, which will simplify the process.
Students are also urged to seek possible scholarships at scholarships.csi.edu. Please contact CSI Admissions with questions at 208-732-6221 or at
admissions@csi.edu.

The 14
th
annual CSI Corn Maze begins a full month of operation Friday, Sept. 30. It will be open six nights a week through Saturday, Oct. 29. Students in the College of Southern Idaho's Horticulture Club oversee the entire project that begins with spring planting and continues through cultivation, creation and management of the maze, and eventually selling the corn. The 11-acre field is located next to CSI's Health Science building on North College Road. The maze will be open from 5 to 10 p.m. each Monday through Saturday night and closed on Sunday evenings.
Horticulture program instructor and club advisor Chance Munns says Idaho Central Credit Union is partnering with the club this year and will have its money machine at the maze on certain weekend evenings. Visitors can expect a warming fire at the maze entrance each evening along with burgers, hot dogs, hot chocolate, soda, candy, chips, and other treats for sale.
General admission is $3 per person. Children age five and under will be admitted free of charge. Children 14 and under must be accompanied by an adult. Pathways are six feet wide and can accommodate wheelchairs, strollers, and other assistive devices though terrain is a little bumpy. Schools and other groups are welcome to reserve daytime visits on Fridays by contacting Munns at 732-6431 or at
cmunns@csi.edu.
The CSI Corn Maze is a multi-student organization fundraiser. Money raised goes to Turkeys to Fight Hunger, Toys for Tots, Home Hospice, Adopted Christmas Families, and Safe House for Kids. Funds also help defray the cost for CSI students to attend conferences.
All who visit the maze after dark are encouraged to bring their own flashlights and dress for the weather.

Tickets are now available for the CSI Theater Department's 2016-2017 season, featuring
The Crucible, Jacob Marley, Julius Caesar,
and
Antigonick. Performances will take place at 7:30 p.m. in the CSI Fine Arts Theater. Tickets for each play are $10 each for adults and $5 each for students. Tickets can be purchased at the CSI Fine Arts Box Office, by calling 732-6288, or by going online to
http://tickets.csi.edu.
The season kicks off with a special joint production of The Crucible with Twin Falls High School's Bruin High Players on October 5 - 8 and 12 - 15. The Crucible, an American classic and winner of the Tony Award for Best Play in 1953, recounts the events surrounding the Salem witch trials in Massachusetts during the 17th Century. The story focuses upon a young farmer, his wife, and a young servant-girl who maliciously causes the wife's arrest for witchcraft, initiating a flurry of accusations, public trials, and hangings in the small Puritan community. Arthur Miller wrote the play as a vehicle to publicly confront McCarthyism and the trials held by the House of Representatives' Committee on Un-American Activities, which led to the black-listing of numerous American artists in the 1950s. Join CSI Theater Department, in collaboration with Twin Falls High School Bruin Players as they bring this exciting and fast-paced tale to the CSI stage. There has never been a more relevant time in our society to engage in a discussion of Miller's themes.
The second production, Jacob Marley, runs November 30 - December 3 and December 7 - 10. Marley was dead to begin with...Why was Marley allowed to return as a ghost to warn Scrooge away from his ill-fated path?...Why was Marley so concerned about Scrooge?...We know what happened to Scrooge, but what of Marley? These questions and many more are answered in this new script written from the perspective of the ghost burdened by chains, cash-boxes, keys, padlocks, ledgers, deeds, and heavy purses wrought in steel.
Julius Caesar
will run February 22 - 25 and March 1 - 4. Treachery, intrigue and political motivations are all facets of this classic tale of the ultimate betrayal. In Shakespeare's political tragedy, suspicions arise when the beloved Caesar gains popularity among his people. Fearing that he will corrupt the freedom of the State, other members of the government plot to have him killed. In a tumultuous world where politics are vicious, Julius Caesar resonates powerfully with today's audiences.
Antigonick
rounds out the season April 26 - 29 and May 3 - 6. Ancient Greece looks suspiciously similar to the present day in the hands of world-renowned poet and MacArthur Genius Anne Carson. Antigone has lost two brothers but by law can only bury one. She takes a stand for her beliefs, pitting morality against patriotism, and in doing so starts a series of events that threaten the new-found national peace. It's one of the most famous myths of all, told and re-told for more than two thousand years, but what use is a cautionary tale if no one heeds it? The CSI Theater, Dance, and Visual Arts Department join creative forces to bring Carson's biting and thrilling translation of Antigone to life in a production that casts unexpected shadows on issues of loyalty and family.

We are feeling a little like a sinking cruise ship at this point and we've barely set sail! I am being flooded with questions and with good reason. We've changed challenges and it's always confusing, but this time especially so. Please accept my apology and take a look at some common questions and answers below with the hope that the one you're concerned about is listed. Here we go!
- Everyone turns your TOTAL POINTS into your captains and captains turn in ONLY total points for each team member to Judy as soon as you have all those numbers after each week is completed.
- CONFIRMATION: each Wellness Activity is worth 5 points. That was the original intent, but was misreported to you at one point. Don't worry about last week. Calculate those activities as 5 points starting this week if you didn't before. If you perform them each day, they could add up to 5 x 7 = 35 points.
- Each activity at the bottom of the Wellness Activities sheet is worth 50 points if performed each day per week. You may perform more than one of those activities and each is worth 50 points if performed all week.
- Your activity tracker steps are NOT worth one point each, as some have thought (hoped). As the Personal Log Sheet indicates, each MINUTE of activity equals one MILE.
- If you commonly do another activity like housekeeping or mowing or such that doesn't seem like an "exercise' but does add activity to your day, please feel free to count it.
HAVE FUN!
Keep it simple. This isn't an exact science and nothing is set in stone. We are trying to follow practices we've set in the past for our challenges, so just keep doing what we've done before and you'll be good! A balance of activity and wellness practices is what we are trying to achieve.

We plan to join the Student Rec Center and Sustainability Council by recognizing Active Transportation Week with DOUBLE POINTS if you bike, walk, or otherwise activity transport yourself to work this week. For EACH MINUTE you are active in your transportation to work or classes, you will earn 2 MILES instead of one.
The SRC is also encouraging employees that may live a distance from campus to consider driving and parking a mile or two from campus and then walking or riding into campus so you can participate in Active Transportation Week.
