 50 Years Ago at CSI |
In October of 1965...
Site Survey Approved for College
A member of the College of Southern Idaho Board of Trustees Tuesday night put into motion a resolution to hiring two out-of-state men who, along with a third to be chosen by them, will review and recommend campus site selections to the Board of Trustees. The resolution was adopted following a lengthy discussion prompted by a move by Thomas Mahan, ex-officio board member from Jerome County, for reconsideration of trustee action two weeks ago-the appointment of an area college site committee.
Mahan also requested the board return to the concept of hiring qualified outside people in recommend a site.
William D. (Bill) Wisemann, Hansen, trustee and chairman of the area site committee, said the board had "never indicated the employment of outside help had been abandoned."
Main purpose of his committee be reiterated, is to gather information which would be used by such a group of people, not to make a definite site selection.
Wiseman, who made the motion to hire the outside help after three other similar motions died for lack of a second, was backed up on his proposal by James Shields, Buhl, and Robert Blastock Jr. Filer, chairman of the trustees, John Coleman and Eldon Evans, both Twin Falls, voted against the proposal, Coleman stated later he voted negatively because he felt the proposal was "bowing to the wishes" of high-pressure groups which should have no influence on board action. Evans, explaining his negative vote, said no felt the proposal excluded in-state qualified people.
Prior to adoption of the resolution Buhl and Jerome delegations voiced their opinions on site selection. John Hepworth, Buhl, said he felt people in his area did not favor any particular site, but was "fearful in premature selection of one by a local group would create much adverse feeling."
He also said people in his area are of the opinion more consideration should be given to broadening the college's tax base and was hopeful the trustees would not bend to "pressure which they have obviously been put to."
Wiseman said the group present at Tuesday night's meeting was "the highest pressure group the board has contended with to date."
Mahan stated "a site selected by an impartial out-of-state team would be compatible to most people in in the Jerome area" and Jerome residents would, in his opinion, continue to support of the college.
Both Jerome and Buhl delegations were emphatic in the opinion the college would lose much support if a site were selected only by area people.

The 2015 Dental Hygiene Conference was a wonderful experience and success!
Students and CSI Faculty attended workshops and lectures at the State Dental Hygiene conference event.
Students competed in the research and presentation of Table Clinics. The students spend many hours developing and researching current topics of interest in the dental profession. They develop brochures and then communicate their findings in a speech presentation to professionals. They are judged on the presentation, professionalism and topic.
