CSI Finishes Second Place Among Community Colleges
Over the holiday weekend, the CSI Forensics team competed in the 13th annual Earl Wells memorial tournament at Oregon State University against regional community colleges as well as state and private 4-year schools. With just two competitors, the team finished in second place among community colleges, and sixth place overall.
Kaylee Tegan and Manuel Hernandez both earned sweepstakes points based on their exceptional performances. Tegan advanced to the final round of Novice Debate, earning second on a split decision. She also placed 2nd in After Dinner Speaking and 4th in Informative speaking. Hernandez placed 3rd in Extemporaneous Speaking and 5th in Poetry Interpretation.
Tandace Crane, CSI communication faculty member, volunteered her time to travel with the team, and contribute as a judge. Crane observed, "It was impressive to see the level of professionalism displayed by these students, and the analysis they are able to create."
CSI forensics is preparing for a strong finish to the season, as the team heads to the Pi Kappa Delta National Comprehensive Tournament in March, and the Phi Rho Pi Community College National Tournament in April.
If you would like more information about this tournament or CSI Forensics, the COMM 105 class, or available scholarships, please contact Andy Orr.

The College of Southern Idaho Foundation would like to thank the Idaho Automobile Dealers Association for a $1010 donation.
The Idaho Automobile Dealers Association is a National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) Foundation Ambassador. As a result of qualifying for Ambassador status within the Foundation, an Ambassador may present every three years a gift to an acceptable 501(c)(3) entity or organization selected by the Ambassador or by a duly appointed representative. The relationship which dealers enjoy through membership in state and metro associations, in concert with the NADA, creates one of the most phenomenal grass-roots forces in the nation. This unity develops the possibility of a beautiful bond for all with the Foundation. As a result, the citizenry of our great nation is the beneficiary of the good works developed by franchised new car and truck dealers and their associations.
NADA Foundation Ambassadors are saluted for their commitment to their communities. They represent the finest in the automobile industry. The NADA Foundation also salutes the College of Southern Idaho Foundation for their work within our community.

RHINOCEROS
March 4-7
7:30 p.m.
CSI Fine Arts Theater
Rhinoceroses start running loose on a Sunday afternoon in a small French town. Eugène Ionesco's classic 1959 play is an absurdist farce about the rising conformism and fascism during the World War II. Zinnie Harris, in her new version of Ionesco's Rhinoceros, brings us to Europe and its politics today. If you are looking for a serious laughter, come to see Rhinoceros presented by the CSI Theatre, Music, and Dance Departments.

 There are only 70 tickets left for the fifth performance of the Arts on Tour season, Carlene Carter, which will take place in the CSI Fine Arts Auditorium on
Saturday, March 7, at 7:30 p.m.
Carlene Carter has been releasing music for almost four decades. The daughter of June Carter Cash and country star Carl Smith, stepdaughter of Johnny Cash, and granddaughter of "Mother" Maybelle Carter, she is the physical embodiment of the Carter Family in the 21st century. Carlene started her career singing with The Carter Family at 17. With the 1978 release of her self-titled debut album, she established herself on the edgier end of the country music spectrum, having recorded it in England with Graham Parker's band The Rumour. When Maybelle Carter died later that fall, Chet Flippo wrote in Rolling Stone that she "lived to see her granddaughter Carlene merge Nashville with contemporary rock and roll." Her most recently album release was Carter Girl, a collection of Carter Family songs and originals inspired by her family. Carlene spent the better part of the last few years on the road with John Mellencamp on his Plain Spoken tour, both as a support act and joining him on stage nightly to perform duets. She also played a role in the touring production of Ghost Brothers of Darkland County, the southern gothic musical play written by Stephen King and Mellencamp.
Follow-up performances of the Arts on Tour season include We Shall Overcome (March 11), and Yamato - The Drummers of Japan (April 15). Yamato has sold out.
Ticket prices are $26/adults, $10/children HS & under and can be purchased at tickets.csi.edu, at the CSI Fine Arts Box Office, or by calling (208) 732-6288
