Campus Consensus
CWU Students take issue with dining, tuition and more
Brandon Mattesich Co-Editor-In-Chief
In a survey of 85 students conducted this week on campus and online via a Google form, CWU students most often cited dining and tuition as areas needing change, and finances and mental health as the biggest barriers to their success.
The Observer’s motto, by the students for the students, guides what stories are written and published. This survey was created to gather student voices from across campus, and to inform The Observer of the most pressing issues to student success.
All student responses to the survey were collected anonymously, to promote the highest probability of gathering accurate information. Some 29.4% of respondents were freshmen, 28.2% were sophomores, 20% were juniors and 22.4% were seniors. The following are the results of the survey.
Student Safety
A vast majority of CWU students reported that they feel safe on CWU’s campus, with 96.5% answering yes and 3.5% answering no to the question, “Do you feel safe at CWU?”
According to CWU’s Annual Security and Fire Safety Report, to the most recent data (2023), reports of aggravated assault, motor vehicle theft, liquor violation referrals and drug violation referrals have increased minimally since 2021. Reports of rape, sex offense, stalking and drug law arrests, however, remain low. Most
notably on-campus reports of burglary have gone up around 333% from 2021 to 2023, from 3 to 13 total reports. Reports of stalking have gone down on campus 53.4%, dropping from 15 reports in 2021 to 7 in 2023.
Dining and Tuition
The survey asked, “In which area would you most like to see change from CWU?,” and listed the following options: housing, cost of tuition, dining, student emotional/physical health support, parking, safety, education and other. If a respondent chose other, they were prompted to fill in their own choice.
Dining was the majority answer, with 31.8% of the responses. Following was the cost of tuition, with 22.4% of the responses and third was parking, with 16.5% of the responses.
Dining underwent major changes at the start of the 2024-2025 school year. Holmes became a buffet-style location and operational hours for restaurants across campus have been reduced since the 2023-2024 school year. Dining prices were also increased at multiple locations.
One student shared that they wanted to know why there aren’t very many vegetables available on campus, or healthy food options at the on-campus restaurants.

CWU alumni Rob and Valerie Moehring have recently committed to donating a multimillion-dollar investment that will be used to create a “Presidential Innovation Fund,” according to a press release sent out Tuesday by CWU’s Associate Director of Strategic Communications David Leder.
The donation will be used for the development of leadership programs and the strengthening of RHA communities.
“We will be using the funds to enhance the work we are doing to build community and capacity for transformational leadership at CWU,” CWU President Jim Wohlpart said in the release. “This generous gift gives us the opportunity to bring in a nationally renowned speaker for an upcoming Supervisors Summit, develop forums and workshops for leadership training with our employees, or provide resources for our students as they grow into leaders themselves.”
LETTER from the EDITORS
Howdy y’all,
Brandon
This week I tried something new, starting what I hope will become a recurring series with “Campus Consensus.” I had a lot of fun going out and collecting data for this story and I’m pretty happy with the result. The world is crazy right now but I couldn’t be more happy to be a journalist during it all.
Jackson
Hope all is well everybody! I had a ton of fun this week putting together our center spread story. It was fun to get back to my roots from when I started at The Observer in the sports section. A lot of fun stories this week, I look forward to bringing you guys the same as well as more of the important global news in our following two issues.
Issue 7 Recap
News this week was brief but in depth. With a story on student opinions and an editorial on the AP being barred from the White House, the news section was able to cover both campus wide and national news. Press freedoms are being tested at the highest levels right now, and it certainly felt pertinent to report on the entire situation with the AP. If you aren’t up to date, I would highly recommend
checking out our editorial. Also, check in with news next week for a story covering the dining changes that many of our readers have requested!
Scene looks into two events that occurred last week. One of which was the Mariachi event. A really well done story and we are very proud of Asia and her growth in the Scene section. Next our Scene section editor Patrick went out and covered an important story revolving around creating a positive mindset through painting.
Sports this week covers us saying goodbye to the Wildcats starting Center Mitch Brizee. It dives into his impact on the team and his growth over the last three years. During Brizee’s senior night, the ‘Cats also won their conference’s regular-season championship as they continue to prepare for the GNAC tournament.
Design had a lot of fun this week, with new styles being implemented on a couple pages. We don’t often get such a data oriented story on the front page, or really anywhere in the paper, but the design turned out amazing. On top of that we have an innovative design on page four that may or may not feature some shredded up Observers of the past. Overall design really crushed it this week, as they do every week, and I can’t wait to see what next week ends up looking like!
As a part of the donation, the Wellington Event Center will be renamed the Rob and Valerie Moehring Event Center during a ceremony hosted later this summer.
Rob Moehring, chairman of the Washington Shoe Co., spoke on what inspired the donation. “My wife, Valerie, and I had such an amazing experience at Central,” Moehring said in the release.
Moehring continued to explain why CWU was so pivotal to him and his wife. “We give credit to CWU for setting the foundation for our success. The university provided the perfect environment for personal growth, with inspiring professors who became mentors and helped shape our future. We’re excited to give back and support the next generation of leaders at Central,” Moehring said.

Another student commented on these complaints, writing that they want to know about, “The change in how dining is handled. Is it effective? As a student here, it is quite annoying when I want bigger portion sizes and actual food. However, through the weekdays, my dinner options in Central Marketplace are Lions Rock and Fresh Bar. Especially if dinner at Holmes doesn’t seem appetizing that night.”
CWU Support
In response to the question, “Do you believe CWU is doing enough to support their students?,” a majority of students, 58.8%, said yes while 41.2% answered no. Some of the students who responded “no” clarified what they think CWU could do to better support their students.
One student wrote, “CWU should be better about providing counseling/ therapy to students. In addition, while the food pantry is a great resource it’s
rarely open and when it is, it’s during times when students are in classes … Food on campus is expensive and generally unhealthy and most students are not getting nearly enough food and nutrients.”
Another student suggested, “I see students struggling mentally quite often. It may just be because it is the Winter quarter that I’m seeing it more but I feel they should have more mental health recognition. I don’t see it publicized often that we have therapy or any other resources for students.”
Incoming Students
With tours picking up across campus, The Observer surveyed students on if they would recommend Central to incoming freshmen. In response to the question “Would you recommend CWU to incoming college students?,” a majority of students shared that they would recommend CWU, with 85.9% answering yes and 14.1% answering no. Students who answered “no” were

Dining
Student Emotional/ Physical Health Parking
Do
given a space to clarify why, with one student stating that they would not recommend Central because, “The recognition and support for the film program has been lackluster and seems like an afterthought from the university.”
Additionally, a different student cited complaints with CWU’s beginning of the year drag show. “I’m embarrassed about the drag show that was performed for the freshmen, which turned into a strip show. It made me very uncomfortable,” they said.
CWU Strengths
Students were also asked which areas of CWU they thought were the strongest and responses were more varied. In response to the question, “In which area do you think CWU is the strongest?,” offering the same options as with changes, education was the majority response, with 28.2% of student answers, followed closely by safety, with 24.7% of the answers and in third was emotional/physical health
support, with 14.1% of the answers. Some students chose the “other” option and filled in their answers, listing 88.1 The Burg, Career Services, Professors and Clubs as some additional highlights of CWU.
Barriers to Success
The survey asked, “What area would you say presents the biggest barrier to your success as a student?,” and listed the following options: finances, mental health, academic struggle, housing, transport, nutritional wellbeing and other. Financial barriers was the majority answer, with 38.8% of the responses. Second was mental health with 30.6% of responses, and following that was nutritional well-being with 12.9% of responses.

Donald Trump violated the First Amendment when he barred The Associated Press from the White House
Kyley Glenn Columnist
On Feb. 11, Donald Trump barred the Associated Press (AP) from the Oval Office and Air Force One press conferences indefinitely during his second term as president of the United States.
Trump’s reasoning for this action was that the AP refused to refer to the body of water as the “Gulf of America” instead of the “Gulf of Mexico.”
Thus far, three lawsuits against White House administrative officials have been filed by the AP due to this infringement of the First Amendment.
”The Associated Press just refuses to go with what the law is,” Trump said at a press conference hosted last week. “The Associated Press has been very very wrong on the election, on Trump, on the treatment of Trump and with other things having to do with Trump and with the Republicans and conservatives and they’re doing us no favors.”
Since the 1550s, the Gulf of Mexico has been called the Gulf of Mexico. The only country to pass a change to the name was the United States of America. The body of water is not entirely within the U.S.’s territory, as it touches Cuba and Mexico as well.
In a similar effort, Trump ordered an Alaskan mountain’s name to be changed from Denali to Mount McKinley. The AP cooperated in this change as it is within U.S. territory. Trump’s new name for it will hold up since he has signed the executive order, “Restoring Names That Honor American Greatness.”
The AP is an international news source that caters to many countries that still refer to the body of water by its original name. The AP does not have to change the wording in their stories. It was also asked of them to update the AP Stylebook, which is a handbook that most news sources use as a reference when it comes to how to write in journalism. The book is not made for strictly citizens of the United States.
In early February of 2025, Trump held a press conference in the Oval
Office that the AP has historically attended due to the organization being a staple in the field of journalism. This time, they were turned away.
“AP reporters and photographers travel with the president virtually everywhere as part of a press “pool” and have for decades. AP journalism serves millions of readers and thousands of news outlets around the world,” David Bauder, the AP national media writer, said in an interview on CNN.
This is not the first time Trump has quarreled with the press. Earlier this year, the president sued CBS for a sound clip from before the election that had been used in their ‘60 Minutes’ with the former vice president, Kamala Harris. CBS later released the entire audio file so the viewers could form an opinion on the situation themselves.
One of Trump’s executive orders that were announced on Jan. 20, 2025, “Restoring Freedom of Speech and Ending Federal Censorship,” was announced with the intention of protecting the people’s rights to not be censored by the government, citing the First Amendment as their reasoning. This amendment contradicts Trump’s actions against the press.
In the Constitution of the United States, the citizens of America have the right to freedom of speech through the First Amendment.
According to the Constitution, “The First Amendment guarantees freedoms concerning religion, expression, assembly, and the right to petition. It forbids Congress from both promoting one religion over others and also restricting an individual’s religious practices. It guarantees freedom of expression by prohibiting Congress from restricting the press or the rights of individuals to speak freely. It also guarantees the right of citizens to assemble peaceably and to petition their government.”
Another aspect of the First Amendment that is protected is the freedom of the press. “Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to
seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.” That is to say, under the First Amendment, the government is not technically supposed to have the ability to censor the media simply due to the fact that they disagree with what is being spoken about.
and not something to be swept under the rug. It puts many sources at risk and creates a fear among the media, a major fear surround ing how the Constitution is being in terpreted.
exist to do the president or the government favors.
The press exists to hold the president and the government to account. Press freedoms in the United States are at risk,” Chris Hayes, host of All in With Chris Hayes, said in a recent episode of his show.
CAPPING OFF CAPPING OFF
Jackson Roberts
Co-Editor-In Chief
The Wildcats men’s basketball team celebrated senior night by taking down Saint Martin’s University 87-70 to become the 2024-25 Great Northwest Athletic Conference (GNAC) regular-season champions. Senior Center Mitch Brizee celebrated his special night, however, he knows there are bigger goals in front of the ‘Cats.
Already with the crown of reigning GNAC champions, the Wildcat’s 13-3 conference record was good enough to solidify them as conference champions with still two matchups left in the season. They have won eight out of their last ten games, as they look to keep up the hot streak going into the GNAC tournament.
Brizee, the lone senior on the team, played a pivotal role in anchoring the team from down low in the painted area as the season aged. With his 6-foot-9 inch frame weighing in at 225 pounds, he uses his strength and height to protect the rim making it difficult for opposing teams to score. While he might not be the focal point of the offense, teams still have to look out for the big guy as he leads the GNAC in field goal percentage making 68% of his shots.
At this point in the season, he is averaging 8.4 points per game and 5.2 rebounds up from his 5.1 points per game and 3.8 rebounds a game last season. His play does
more than just show up on the box score, he is the primary screen setter for the team and when on the floor, is guarding the biggest player the opponent has.
Brizee originally went to Weber State University before transferring to CWU because he was previously coached by CWU’s Head Coach Brandon Rinta. “As soon as I hit that transfer portal he reached out to me,” Brizee said. “Academics is a big thing for me and obviously he has built a culture here where academics are important … what he wanted to build here was another thing I looked for.” What Coach Rinta was looking to build was a winning culture and he did just that winning the Wildcat’s first GNAC championship since 2011.
As for the future, Brizee detailed what it will take for this year’s team to match last season’s success. “With Saturday’s game, I feel like if we can bring that same defensive intensity we had in the first half, we will have a pretty good chance of winning it [GNAC Championship],” Brizee said. “And then obviously we’ve got to shoot well, which really hasn’t been a problem. I think those are the two biggest things, defensive intensity and shot selection.”
Family and friends made their way to Ellensburg to see Brizee show out one more time in front of the Wildcat faithful. “It was nice, but I mean it was weird. Like dang, I’m
almost done. Only a couple games left in my last year playing college basketball,” Brizee said. “It was relieving, but at the same time, it’s the end of a chapter.
While Brizee admits that he is not the most outgoing guy, he still knows how to set an example that the younger players will follow. “He is the one that provides the most energy and positive energy all the time,” junior guard Xavier Kamalu-Vargas said. “He doesn’t even need to say things and we will still follow his lead. That’s the type of leader he is.”
The statistically best game of the season for Brizee was in a 92-75 home win vs Alaska Fairbanks. Totaling 22 points, five rebounds and shooting seven of ten from the field and eight of ten from the free throw line.
His minutes have risen every year with CWU and with that, so has his

play. What comes with being a starter is that you’re putting a lot more work on your body. Last season he averaged 15.3 minutes per game serving as the backup center only starting one of the 31 games played. This season he has seen that number skyrocket to 24.2 minutes per game and has started in all 25 games he has appeared in. “It’s more conditioning,” Brizee said. “I’ve been dealing with injuries so I’ve kind of got to find the balance between conditioning and staying healthy.”
“Coming into my freshman year he was coming off the bench, low minutes type of guy,” Kamalu-Vargas said.
“Throughout the past three years, I’ve been here, he’s been here, I’ve seen significant improvement overall as a leader, overall as a player, I see he is a lot more comfortable being vocal now than he was back then. Playing-wise, I think he has improved way more. It’s fun to see
because he’s made a big impact for us.”
The Wildcats season is far from over, as the GNAC tournament will be hosted in Lacey, Wash. starting on March 6 extending through March 8. The winner of this tournament is awarded the conference’s
automatic bid into the NCAA West Region Championships. Before they get there to defend their throne, they have two road games ahead of them with one against rivals Western Washington University, then they cross the border to take on Simon Fraser.

AMariachi music and dance
cwu hosts a “love”-filled concert
s the performers walked in, the crowd cheered loudly in excitement. Violins played and singers sang. Dancers danced and trumpets blared. The spirit of the Mariachi was alive, and there were many viewers there to witness it. On Feb. 20, a Mariachi concert was held in the McIntyre Music Building. It showcased a number of traditional Mariachi songs and dancing.
Eventually the lights dimmed low and the performers began to perform, audience members were buzzing with opinions. “Mexican and Spanish and Latin culture is such an important part of Washington State in general,” Magnolia Samdell, a senior music and library student, said. “Bringing in other musicians, bringing in the dancers, having it so it’s authentic in so many ways. I think that’s really it. Where you’re inviting the culture and the people of the culture who do the event outside, into the building.”
When one performer belted a classic song, the crowd cheered loudly. Clapping erupted through the room as the performers continued to play Mariachi music, and the clapping gradually faded as viewers returned to watching.
“It’s the togetherness that it brings. It brings a lot of people together to support their culture and their friends, their family. I think that’s a big part of music,” Rowan, a first-year music performance major, said. Rowan shared that this event was larger than the last. “I’ve attended one of them.
It’s just bigger than the last one I attended. With the high school also there, you can tell how much effort they really put into making this happen.
Making this fun for everybody. I could see all the performers with a smile on their faces, and I could see the fun that they were having. It brings a smile to the audience.”
Yajayra Ramirez, a second-year music education student and student leader for the mariachi event, gave some insight into what inspired them to host this event. “We really wanted to paint a picture of what our music has to provide, and that’s allowing people to feel their emotions in all. Love is a spectrum, and love has all kinds of phases,” Ramirez said.
Luca Castillejo, who is also a second-year education major student, chimed in with their opinion as well. “Our inspiration for the program and for the music we chose was Valentine’s Day, since we were in the Valentine’s Day vicinity, we chose love-inspired songs, not just one type of love,” Castillejo said. “You’re in love. Even though we had that type of song, we also had painful love. We had regret and loss of a love. It was just a variety of different loves that you see in the world.”
Creating positive mindsets through the act of painting
Patrick Pugh Scene Editor
As winter finals continue to get closer and closer, many people struggle to deal with the stress. To help combat the stress, The Learning Commons put on an event called “Mindset, motivation and Painting”.
The event, which involved painting your own motivational poster, was held at the library last Thursday. Despite the minimal attendance, with only one non-peer mentor showing up, the event still gave off a fun and welcoming feeling.
“The purpose of this event is to bring together students to help them through midterms and just through all the stress that’s happening right now, and give them a safe space to just relax, paint and learn about different types of mindsets and find out what motivates them and helps them,” Genevie Chhum, a junior and marketing major who was a peer mentor at the event, said. “During midterms, it’s really hard to get any motivation, especially during wintertime. So, this is just a good
event to have for first-year students and just in general, students of all years can have a place to talk to peer mentors if they’re struggling with anything in class.”
Chhum also explained how the event helped her as a peer mentor. “For me as a worker, it helps me connect to students and potential mentees. So, it’s a lot for me, because my whole job is to help students navigate university here. So, this is how I get in touch with students, and I also like to do the activity with them, because I’m a student also, so it’s nice to get my mind off homework,” Chhum said.
The event itself went for a cozy vibe with chill music being played over the speakers in order to set a calm mood.
“I think these are awesome events provided to students.” Janet Hernandez-Felipe, a second-year aviation major and another peer mentor at the event, said. “It’s something that I didn’t know my freshman year, and I sometimes wish I would
have known about these types of things. And I think how the people who come here are here for a purpose, and it helps them in a way, and two things for them.”
Though the number of people who were there was small, laughter and general discussion from both the peer mentors and the one regular student filled the air as they seemed to enjoy themselves.
“After going to these events, I found myself more focused on what I need to complete with school,” Marisol Torres-Alcantar, a first-year and elementary education major, said. “I’m connecting with my peer mentors. And I find more things to ask about and learn about, as it is my first year on campus.”

DDr. Jaeyoung Oh and his journey to the US
r. Jaeyoung Oh tells his story of growing up in South Korea and coming to the United States in the fifth volume of the “Coming to America” series.
Jaeyoung Oh (오재영)
Dr. Jaeyoung Oh is an associate professor of supply chain management at CWU, working here since 2018. Oh earned both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in business at Kyung Hee University (경희대학교) in Seoul, South Korea before getting his PhD at the University of Kentucky.
“My background is very complicated because I lived in many different places across South Korea because my dad was an army pilot. Let’s say I moved more than 20 times during my years. [In] elementary school I moved five times and then in junior high, I moved three times. Basically, you could say moving is kind of my expertise,” Oh said. “My childhood gave me a good environment where I could meet many different people, so communicating and meeting many new people wasn’t a problem. [This] experience built my personality to be more outgoing ... So I appreciate my dad for giving me such a life.”
After getting his degrees in business at Kyung Hee University, Oh worked at a consulting firm for a short period of time. “The reason I decided to study my PhD in the United States was that I had the chance to talk with people from Samsung. Back in 2007, around that time, Apple launched new iPhones … so there was a time when Samsung tried to think about supply chain management, but explained that there were not many experts in that area,” Oh said. “That kind of inspired me. I decided to study for my PhD in the United States because there was no major in supply chain management in South Korea at the time.”
Before moving to the US, Oh says his only international experience had been spending a year in Winnipeg, Canada on a working holiday visa to study English.
“When I started my PhD in Kentucky, I wasn’t prepared for studying in terms of language skills,” Oh said. “In my first class, I remember we had more than ten papers, and then we had to criticize all of the papers together. It was kind of overwhelming for me because I didn’t know what they were speaking about.” Oh explained that people would explain things using examples from local news articles and TV shows that they already knew, but he didn’t, “It was tough,
but it was fun because my friend and professors helped me a lot.”
After completing his PhD, Oh was looking to move. “Living in Kentucky for 7 years, you can imagine that while I love the people there, I missed Korean things and Korean people and Korean culture. So I really wanted to move to the west side. Then I saw a job posting from Central Washington and when I googled it, it was so close to the West Coast,” Oh said. “I got to interview here and realized there is another west, but I am satisfied. I am living in a very small town, but I can travel and there are so many places where I can enjoy Korean things.”
Oh took the job at CWU, and moved to Ellensburg. “It is a small town and even though there are not many things to do, I met great people here. What I like most living in Ellensburg is that there are many good outdoor activities. I usually go hiking with my daughter and wife, and to Lake Wenatchee for camping and swimming,” Oh said. “Even living in a small town, Seattle is near here, so I can go there for any kind of city activities … I’m quite enjoying living here.”
Oh’s experience showed him the importance of going after opportunities as a student, “I suggest all students here try to find all the opportunities college can give. Meet people, attend all kinds of workshops and guest speaker events and job fairs. Then, check out exchange programs where you can experience different cultures and find opportunities you never thought possible,” Oh said.
“Many students I talk to have never been to other countries or thought about the experience of other cultures. Especially when I was living in Kentucky and here as well, many people have never left the state. I just want to say to them that there are so many opportunities for students and they actually need a person like you. Then if you have some experiences in other countries and cultures, it helps you work at a company … When I look at myself, I was just a country boy, and I lived all my life in Korea but the moment that changed my life was when I went to Canada. That experience brought my perspective to the world and actually changed my career and then my thought and then my mindset.”
Oh as a child.
