Subject - 14th and Walnut Intersection
The intersection at 14th and Walnut (at the Psychology Building and Nicholson
Pavilion) should be closed at least during class times and blocked with
physical barriers. There are too many pedestrians and drivers alike that
use this intersection and it's become too dangerous with Central's increasing
population. I've witnessed many drivers forcing pedestrians to run across
this intersection by pulling into it and not stopping. This is not only
illegal and rude, but incredibly unsafe in these winter conditions. There
are other routes for drivers to get off-campus from the parking lots in
this area.

VP for Business Auxiliaries & Public Safety
Response - The intersection, actually Nicholson Blvd.
and Walnut is in the jurisdiction of the City of Ellensburg. The problem
has been referred to them on several occasions and it will be referred
to them again. As always, the CWU Department of Public Safety and Police
Services reminds drivers to use caution and to yield to pedestrians in
crosswalks. Pedestrians should remain alert to drivers inattentive to
pedestrians.

Subject - North Village Cafe; Boxes Blocking Doors
I live in Green and there is one area of concern that I have. The employees
at NVC are constantly putting empty boxes, garbage, and bread racks in
front of the back door. This not only blocks the exit, but it also blocks
the stairs and to me this is not acceptable. It is a fire hazard. And
needs to be addressed immediately. If someone could please address this
issue and not let them put anything by the back door both inside and outside
the door that would be great thank you.
Forwarded to - Dan Layman; Interim Director
of Dining Services
Response - Thank you for the inquiry. I have spoken to
both the Manager and Supervisor up at the North Village Cafe. I indicated
to them that the boxes and bags need to be kept out of the stairwell and
away from the doors. I will check on it and have asked the management
team to also look at the situation to make sure it does not continue.
If the problem comes back, please feel free to contact me at 963 1332.

Subject - Degree Issues
I have just finished my education througth Central. I am having nothing
by problems with getting my degree. There was a miscommunication between
the Registar's office and the Education Department about my last grade
for graduation. Now, because of the University's mistake they are saying
that I cannot get my degree until the end of the next quarter. I need
to start working and want nothing more than to get into the classroom
and teach as this college has prepared me to do. Everyone that I have
talked to that has graduated from Central has had problems getting their
degrees. This is not right!!!!!!!! I did everything I could do to finish,
and now because of the University's mistake I am not going to be able
to start working when I need to.

Assistant to VP/SAEM, Student Affiars
Response - This matter has been successfully taken care
of.

Subject - Flooding
When is CWU going to something about the lake at the southwest corner
of the G15 parking lot near Chestnut? This is a major foot traffic corridor
from major parking lots. When it rains or when snow melts, the sidewalk
and street area flood. On January 3rd, many students faculty and staff
found themselves having to walk down the street (9th) dodging cars, because
they couldn't walk on or near the sidewalk. There is a storm drain not
more than 4 feet away (in the parking lot) but the curb between the sidewalk
and the parking lot keeps the water from draining. This really needs to
be addressed, and it seems that it could be resolved rather easily ...
by cutting a channel through the curb. Sooner or later someone is going
to get hurt because of this, and that won't be good.
Forwarded to - Robert Tosch; Director,
Maintenance and Operations
Response - FMD will discuss snow removal on 9th street
with the city and investigate the removal of the curb in the near future.
Thank you for your input on this situation.

Subject - Quck Facts Page?
Looking at colleges on web for son. Most colleges have a "quick facts"
page (refer to any number for examples). If you have one, with student
enrollment, number of faculty, etc.etc I cannot easily find it. Maybe
Central should have one too??
Thx.
Forwarded to - Jesse Days, CWU Web Developer
Response - The page you're looking for is located at:
http://www.cwu.edu/~ir/Facts.html on the Institutional Research Web site.
Thank you for your feedback, we will implement a "Quick Facts"
link on our A-Z index.

Subject - Website Update
Please make your website more user friendly. How can one find out if the
office will be closed Tuesday because of the funeral of President Ford?
It is very hard to find out information.
Forwarded to - Jesse Days, CWU Web Developer
Response - Information about unexpected closures would
be on our emergency closures page at: http://www.cwu.edu/closures.html
When a closure is pending we implement a 'ticker tape' type announcement
on the CWU home page.
