Most students are aware of the Writing Center and its basic services, or have even had to go in as a requirement for a class, but starting this term, the Writing Center is going through some major upgrades. The Writing Center is implementing a new asynchronous feedback response option for students in addition to the normal in-person or Zoom appointment options, and is also transitioning to be known as the Writing and Research Center rather than just the Writing Center. Staff members are working hard to create many fun events and workshops in the Writing Center for students to attend and get involved.

First and foremost, the Writing Center has merged with the research librarians starting this term to form the Writing and Research Center. Because writing and research go hand in hand, the merging of these two services provides a smoother process for students seeking resources. This allows students to not only get advice from peer tutors, but also from expert research librarians. The Writing and Research Center is now a hub located in one spot for anything related to writing or research.

With this transition, students can easily have access to research librarians and instruction librarians without having to go to two separate buildings. Rather than training the Writing Center peer tutors in research, it made more sense to integrate the research librarians into their services, so they are now located in the same building. If a student comes in-person, they could have an appointment with both a Writing and Research Center tutor and a research librarian to help with their assignment. Students can book appointments with either a writing tutor or a research librarian, but can also access both during their appointment if needed.

The main goal of the Writing and Research Center is to help students build necessary skills in writing that apply to any and all subjects. Not only this, but the peer tutors hope to build up confidence in students so they feel comfortable repeating these learned skills themselves. Staff and tutors at the Writing and Research Center hope to increase self-efficacy in students so they learn writing processes rather than just a solution for one assignment.

Like before, the Writing and Research Center is offering both in-person and Zoom appointments to students, but this term, they are also offering a new asynchronous feedback option. If students choose this service option, they would upload their projects online to be reviewed by a tutor. Then, tutors will read through their assignment and compose a one-page response to give back to the student within an hour. These responses are focused on feedback following student requests, or on things the highly trained staff deem necessary to give feedback on. For students who choose this feedback option, they don’t need to be present during the process; they simply upload their document and wait for their tutor to send back the response.

This new feedback system offered by the Writing and Research Center fits into the needs of Western’s current student population. A lot of students who seek tutoring don’t have the time or option available to attend in-person sessions or schedule a Zoom appointment. Vanessa Petroj, the director of the Writing and Research Center, explained that “we have very busy students, we have non-traditional students, we have students with jobs, we have students who commute. But at the same time, we also have students who like to see their feedback so they can refer back to it. So all of those things … I only see it as another alternative to provide support in addition to the synchronous one-on-one that we have.” Staff added the extra asynchronous feedback option in order to provide as much support as possible.

The Writing and Research Center also offers other resources, such as bilingual tutoring. They have bilingual tutors for students in both Spanish and American Sign Language. Additionally, students can now create a partnership appointment, meaning that they pick a tutor and have a recurring appointment with them either weekly or biweekly. If students choose to utilize this service, they don’t have to keep creating appointments, but rather can come to their slot each week to work on any writing. These appointments don’t have to be devoted to one class either; they can bring in writing for one class on an appointment, then bring in writing from a completely different class for the next. There is no rule for the kind of writing students can bring in, be it an academic essay, scholarship essay or application.

The Writing and Research Center hosts many events for students throughout the year that have fun activities and simultaneously allow students to become more familiar with the services offered. Some examples include holiday crafts and activities near the end of the term. Coming up soon, they are hosting their annual Halloween event Oct. 31. Not only will the event feature activities for students, but it also coincides with the grand opening of the Writing and Research Center, where students can learn about what the new center offers. There will be decorations set up, hands-on activities and learning activities, including a life-size board game throughout the Writing and Research Center. All students, faculty, staff and community members are welcome to come, see the space and learn about the center. The event will also be kid-friendly with children’s activities available, meaning parents can bring their families.

The Writing and Research Center encourages students to utilize their services and come to any events hosted to have some fun and learn about the space. The new services and resources created will help provide for the student population at Western, supporting students of all needs and backgrounds. They are continually evolving and working to find ways to serve and help all students, offering everyone the resources available to perfect their work, writing and wordsmithing.

True crime

Content warning: this article discusses murder and violence

Crime has always been a fascinating topic for many. With fictional television shows like “Criminal Minds” and “Law & Order,” such violent conversation topics have proven to make for an equally entertaining and profitable form of media and content — but what takes it a step further is the true crime industry.

The entertainment industry is no stranger to documentaries. “Dateline” has been airing since 1992, with its predecessor “48 Hours” beginning in 1988. True crime documentaries have had an uptick in recent years, milking notable names for content through big platforms like Netflix. Some examples of these include “Murdaugh Murders: A Southern Scandal,” “Tiger King,” “Monster” about Jeffrey Dahmer being arguably the beginning controversy for true crime dramatized recreations in television, “American Murder: Gabby Petito,” “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story” and others. Through Hulu, “Hunting JonBenét’s Killer: The Untold Story” explores one of the world’s most perplexing and haunting cases.

Many such platform-produced shows seem to have split goals, torn between celebrating a life lost too soon and forming a lucrative piece of content that will dominate the streaming sphere and social media timelines. “Monster” from Netflix was criticized by the masses following its immensely popular release in 2022 due to its insensitive portrayal of the victims of infamous killer Jeffrey Dahmer. The show took deeper angles into Dahmer’s life, offering a nearly sympathetic angle at times according to some. The main point brought up against the show is how none of the victims’ families consented to the release, and expressed extreme discomfort and disappointment. Some have campaigned that the show redirected toward the victims in the second half, signifying its decency and awareness of the sensitivity required to navigate such a story. Personally, I never delved into “Monster” — despite being a true crime fan, which we’ll get into — because I heard of its disrespectful narrative and didn’t feel I was missing out.

Gabby Petito’s story was handled with more care, probably due to its recency and the abuse she suffered. The story was an outrage on social media following Petito’s disappearance in 2021. Eventually, her body was found near the Grand Teton National Park, and her cause of death was ruled a homicide, confirmed to be by her boyfriend, Brian Laundrie. The case sparked such intense news coverage that it’s no surprise Netflix swooped in, going A-Z with the series and how it was solved. However, the listed description remains somewhat callous, stating, “What happened in the final days of Gabby Petito’s life? In this gripping true-crime series, her loved ones reveal the untold story of her tragic murder” — which is not the most conscientious approach.

The streaming giant Peacock took true crime to another level by publishing alleged murderer Casey Anthony’s documentary — an extremely controversial move that has divided watchers. Casey Anthony’s daughter, Caylee, was nearly four years old in 2008 when her remains were found near the Anthony family residence after she was reported missing by her grandmother Cindy Anthony.

The state of Florida sought the death penalty against Casey Anthony, believing her to be the culprit in Caylee’s homicide. In 2011, a jury found her not guilty of murder, but rather four misdemeanor counts of providing false information to the police. Fast forward to 2022, Casey released her documentary, “Casey Anthony: Where the Truth Lies,” flipping the script in an exclusive three-part series with Peacock.

Why Peacock would publicize Casey’s story in her defense is beyond me, especially considering the public criticism she’s encountered year after year ever since her daughter’s death. The true crime community has nailed Casey for nearly a decade for lying about her daughter, being caught partying after her daughter was reported missing and then blaming her family for what happened to Caylee, acquitting herself of all personal responsibility. Then again, to publish an alleged murderer’s tall tale would garner views on views — so there’s Peacock’s motive, or so I presume.

There’s this long-running fascination between people and murder. In my household, my mom used to play “NCIS” on all three televisions across the house so she wouldn’t miss a single minute, no matter where she was. My dad owned all the seasons of “Dexter” on DVD and fell asleep to them routinely. It’s not much of a surprise that I’ve found my way to true crime, although in a different medium: true crime podcasts.

According to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, people are drawn to exploring true crime because of curiosity. The motives of a murderer are beyond understandable, but simultaneously being able to solve, or witness the solving, of a tragic case provides some sort of rush. Newspapers initially sensationalized crime before passing the torch to visual content, like Netflix documentaries or YouTube podcasts.

Others may turn to true crime to witness justice’s golden hammer come down on those who deserve it, playing into what viewers want to see. Across the board, it’s entertainment, escapism and storytelling, a great trap to get watchers all the way through. Scientifically, it’s been compared to haunted houses and roller coasters — facing a fictional danger in some form or another.

But there are undoubtedly present ethical dilemmas in the true crime world. Controversial, money-grabbing attempts at documentaries and re-enactments stir up a long-running conversation about morality that has no solution. Does it make someone a bad person to find “Monster” entertaining, but still empathize with the victims and their families? Is the public forum of modern entertainment off limits for sensitive real-life topics? Where do we draw the line? Who decides where that line even is?

There is a very real conversation to be had about our society’s decreasing sensitivity to such violent acts and topics, and another about whether we’re forcing individuals to relive their trauma through media productions.

Today, there is no answer; no person to distinguish what’s right and wrong. The culprits we can assuredly blame include corporate greed — looking at streaming services, and most notably to me, Peacock — and cash-grabbing techniques to acquire views over anything else.

So, I don’t tend to watch a lot of produced documentaries — I do indulge in true crime podcasts. A term I hear a lot is “active true crime consumer,” which signifies an understanding that the content being viewed is sensitive and has a real-life impact. YouTuber and podcaster Kendall Rae was where I first heard the term, and I’ve always enjoyed her personal approach, honoring victims and discussing the path to justice.

“Murder With My Husband” is another podcast that I listen to rather routinely. It features married couple Payton and Garrett Moreland as she recites a true-crime script, following the thrilling twists and turns of a tragic tale, while respecting and honoring the life or lives that were taken. An interesting aspect of the podcast is Garrett Moreland’s consistent hatred for the true crime genre, and his shocked reactions as he, alongside us, discovers the truth of the stories. Unnecessary fun fact: he’s opening a bagel shop and I’m very intrigued by it.

YouTuber Wendigoon centers on more fantasy or dark horror, but occasionally looks into true crime, and when he does, it’s always good. Another YouTuber, BOZE vs. the WORLD, has a series on female killers — it’s a little too produced for my liking, but I’m a big fan of her other content and so I occasionally indulge.

Kendall Rae also has a podcast with her husband called “Mile Higher,” doing the same as her personal channel by exploring true crime cases and occasionally other topics.

The point is: if true crime is on TV, be aware of its impact. Engage by being an active true crime consumer and contribute faithfully. Think critically and with empathy, but it’s not necessary to feel shame — or shame others — for indulging in true crime.

Frog epidemic takes root in Portland

Oct 22 2025 | Hannah Field | Editor-in-Chief

Portland, Oregon saw hundreds of protesters reportedly donning inflatable animal costumes at the city’s “No Kings” protest Oct. 18, one of more than 2,000 “No Kings” protests that took place across America. Organizers of the “No Kings” protests estimate nearly seven million attendees nationwide, with Portland being a news-garnering hotspot after Donald Trump won his push for National Guard troops to be deployed into the city to defend federal agents, pending further legal approval.

Prior to Saturday’s “No Kings” protest, one Portland local drew premature attention for posting up Oct. 2 outside of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building just off of I-5.

Seth Todd, 24, was wearing a large, puffy, green inflatable frog costume outside of the facility, when the protest escalated — resulting in a federal agent directing a stream of chemical spray into the costume’s air vent. According to Oregon Live, Todd went to help another protester who was allegedly shoved to the ground by a federal agent when he was assaulted with the spray. Despite the altercation, Todd claimed to be fine, stating that he’s “definitely had spicier tamales” than what was directed into his costume.

Caught on camera and uploaded to TikTok, a whirlwind of media attention pointed at Todd, dubbing him with various names: “Antifa Frog,” “Portland Frog” and “Protest Frog” being some of the more common aliases. In his wake, more frogs showed up the following evening at the facility in support. Later in the month, numbers doubled and tripled as frogs took to the streets, spanning Oregon’s multitude of protests.
Various frog paraphernalia popped up across the country in tandem with the “No Kings” protests, broadcasting support and allegiance with Todd after he began a motion of peace and resistance using inflatable animal costumes.

The future of said inflatables is undecided, with the expected utilization of National Guard troops in Portland inching closer and closer. News organizations have noted a consistent presence of “hundreds” rallying in the evening outside Portland’s U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building as recently as Sunday, Oct. 19. Protesters and counter-protesters engaged in physical altercations, leading to multiple arrests by police; at another time, federal agents deployed tear gas into the crowd.

Despite rising tensions, the response from protesters has yet to quell. A newly-founded organization titled Operation Inflation asks for $35 donations to fund more costumes for protests against ICE, signifying the growing movement that started with Todd, and likely won’t end with him.

Viva New Vegas

Oct 22 2025 | Jaylin Emond-Hardin | Entertainment Editor

In 2024, the season finale of Amazon Prime’s “Fallout” — adapted from Bethesda Softworks’ video game series “Fallout” — left fans with plenty to speculate about. The last time we saw this nuclear wasteland, Hank — father to protagonist Lucy MacLean and played by actor Kyle MacLachlan — was headed for what appeared to be New Vegas, the titular setting for the sixth installment of the franchise.

The excitement surrounding this closing scene was immense. After all, in a recent poll by Bethesda, “Fallout: New Vegas” had an overwhelming response as participants’ favorite installment — 52.6% responded that “New Vegas” was their favorite, while “Fallout 4,” one of the more recent games in the series, came in second with 25.5% of responses.

Since the show’s release, the last year and a half has been full of speculation and fan theories, but an Oct. 12 post on IGN’s official Instagram, @igndotcom, only reignited these discussions.

In a reel, IGN shared stills from Season 2, which wrapped filming in May of this year. Among these stills, fans saw the Lucky 38 Casino, Dinky the T-Rex and other notable characters and locations from “New Vegas.”

I think, as a fan of the games myself, that the most important thing to note is the canonization of a specific faction ending of “Fallout: New Vegas.” In the game, the player’s character, known as “The Courier,” travels the Mojave interacting with various factions attempting to control the wasteland — most notably the New California Republic, Caesar’s Legion, Yes Man and the New Vegas Libertopia. As the game progresses, The Courier must side with one of these major factions, which decides the game’s ending at the Second Battle of the Hoover Dam.

Since the gameplay is open world and has a variable story, the developers never confirmed which ending was the correct one; however, the show “Fallout” confirms specifically the New Vegas Libertopia ending.

The show itself is set 15 years after the events of “Fallout: New Vegas,” and stills from the second season feature Mr. House, the enigmatic leader of the New Vegas Libertopia.

Dialogue from the game also supports the pairing of this ending with the stills. In “New Vegas,” the character Chief Hanlon, the commanding officer of the New California Republic’s ranger unit, states that “Even if we hold this dam, what then? Are we going to send the NCR’s men and women to die here for another five years? Ten? Patrol the whole length of the Colorado for hundreds of miles? Holding this dam. It’ll be the death of us.”

This dialogue, along with the facts that Caesar’s Legion is too brutal and authoritarian to retain control over the Mojave and that the Strip in New Vegas is still standing, supports the New Vegas Libertopia ending, which we should then see in the show.

Whatever ending the show confirms, we will just have to wait until Dec. 17 to actually see what happens. After all, fan theories are just theories until the show either confirms or denies them.

Season 1 of “Fallout” is streaming on Amazon Prime, where Season 2 will also launch this winter. I, for one, am anxiously awaiting the season’s debut.

And for other fans of the “Fallout” franchise, remember, the House always wins.

Dax robots MIA

Graphic of Dax with love hearts | Graphic by Addison Watts

Oct 22 2025 | Abbi Duhart | News Editor

Dax food delivery robots, often remembered for their clunky white frames and expressive LED eyes, have since disappeared as a food delivery service on campus after a nearly five-year run.

But what happened to Dax robots, and where did they go?

Dax robots were first implemented on campus shortly after the coronavirus pandemic because students didn’t have access to the dining hall to get food. For this reason, Campus Dining utilized Dax to deliver food to students on campus to follow pandemic guidelines.

Ultimately, Dax delivery robots left campus last June because Dax Corporation ended its contract with Western. The reasoning behind this was likely that they weren’t getting enough sales from students on campus. After the pandemic ended, most students, especially last academic year, just preferred to go into Valsetz Dining Hall rather than get food delivered to their building. Additionally, the company increased the price of deliveries to $5, against Campus Dining recommendations. Campus Dining tried to communicate that with students living on campus, it needed to be an affordable delivery system, but the company still wanted to increase the price to earn revenue. This is also partially why the partnership between Western Campus Dining and Dax ended.

Another big question up for speculation by students was how Dax robots were controlled. When Dax first came to campus, the company programmed mapping, which is essentially a GPS. Dax had an electronic brain of sorts that this GPS tracking was programmed into, and Valsetz had GPS receivers on the roof. The company was also able to control Dax robots remotely, so if they fell over or got stuck, they could attempt to solve the issue without coming to campus.

Campus Dining has not yet switched to a new delivery system because it would have to go through a third party like Dax Corporation. It’s also important to Campus Dining that whatever system they choose in the future, if any, is affordable to students. As of right now, though, there is no delivery method in place. Jane Cameron, the director of Campus Dining, also added that there isn’t really a need for a new delivery system right now. She explained that Western is such a small campus, and increasingly has many dining location options, like Valsetz and the Summit, that students can visit a short walk away from their campus residence. With the new meal swipe system, many students also prefer to go in so they can load up with all they can carry rather than rely on a delivery system.

While Dax was still on campus, it was somewhat of a mystery to students, or an icon of sorts; many had heard different stories and lore about Dax. A big rumor many students reported was that Dax robots had the potential to make heart eyes at them — this was proven to be true, yet students weren’t sure if this was done through some sort of hand motion or voice command. Similarly, students believed their eyes changed based on the holiday, such as how they would make pumpkin eyes during Halloween. One student reports seeing a Dax robot slam into the window outside of Cafe Allegro, which caused its head to fully fall off. Students had commonly seen Dax robots getting stuck around campus, one of these times being when one was crossing the sidewalk from the Grove to the Werner University Center and got stuck in the divot because there was a giant rain puddle. This caused it to turn on hazard lights.

There are also reportedly many relatable stories of students getting into a standoff of sorts with a Dax robot, in which they tried to get around Dax, but it blocked them from walking. Dax robots also often got stuck in random spots and needed to wait for a staff member to come to the rescue. Rumors also spread that there was someone in the basement of Campus Dining controlling Dax, so they were intentionally doing all of these things. Another student said that they once flipped a Dax robot off, and it made sad eyes at them. Some students even felt targeted, in that Dax robots would go out of their way to run into them. Another notable report was that a Dax robot allegedly went up to a student putting up posters with information about a controversial political topic and shook its head while making a sad sound.

All in all, Dax robots have since disappeared from campus. While students have discussed many outlandish stories and allegations surrounding them, few can be fully proven true, and it’s up to students to determine for themselves what to believe and what not to in regard to Dax. What can be confirmed is that Dax Corporation no longer contracts with Western, and Campus Dining is leaning into in-person dining options around campus.

Wolves strike six

Oct 15 2025 | Isaac Garcia | Sports Editor

It’s an exciting time in Monmouth after the Western women’s soccer team took care of business Oct. 4 against Northwest Nazarene, setting a new program record of six wins in a row. During this time, the Wolves have big wins against then #1 nationally ranked Colorado School of Mines and formerly #18 ranked Seattle Pacific respectively. Currently, the Wolves sit at #2 ranked in the GNAC and are looking to build on their momentum going forward. “Our team was really motivated by the fact that we didn’t perform as well as we’d like to and we knew last year we had a great defensive unit,” said head coach Kacey Bingham. “It was really strong, and we knew that was going to be returning and I think big improvements have come from our attack. We’re seeing multiple girls score and be threatening and I think that’s been a huge change from last year.”

Part of that change has been led by first-year forward Olivia Boger. Boger currently leads the team in goals scored, which speaks to her quick adjustment to a new level of competition and a high-quality team culture that allows new players to feel empowered to make immediate impacts. “It’s something that we actually talked a lot about last spring — the culture we wanted going into this year — and the girls spent a lot of time and energy creating a culture they wanted moving into this fall. I think part of that is making sure that we take care of the new players, and I think they made it a point to make the new players feel welcome and important and that they were going to be a big part of our success this year, so I think that stemmed from our captains,” said Coach Bingham. “And then Olivia came in really at a high level and I think she came in understanding, one, how to take care of the ball, how to dribble the ball and then she’s just clinical in the final third. She knows how to go one-v-one, she knows how to serve the ball, she knows how to finish and she’s just come in and stepped up to the challenge.”

One example of the Wolves’ many great leaders is senior team captain and defender Jada Foster. When asked how she’s improved as a leader since becoming a captain, Foster said, “I think the biggest thing for me has always been communication and just kind of stepping up. I know Kacey’s given me the opportunity to last fall and taking the winter and the spring to really just grow and just learn with my teammates and also just learn I’m going to make mistakes, but know that my team’s there for me, and I’m just going to push everybody, but also know that we’re family, and I love each and every one of them that works hard, and I know that we can do anything we put our minds to at the end of the day.”

Foster scored a penalty kick in the 45th minute against Central Washington University, a match that ended in a 3-0 victory. It included a score by Ally Beavers from a penalty kick in the 51st minute and an 86th-minute goal from Katya Tercek, assisted by both Beavers and Maya Courtenay. The win tied the then-record five-game winning streak, setting up the record-breaking win against Northwest Nazarene two days later.

As Coach Bingham mentioned, the defensive unit has also been strong, as they only allowed two goals through the duration of the streak. Senior goalkeeper Bella Lopez has recorded five clean sheets so far.

Bingham also mentioned the seniors on the team as a group that has stepped up big time in the 2025 season. “There was a lot of girls in this senior group that were trying to have bigger roles last year that have stepped into really big roles this year, and we’re really proud of that group and how hard that they’ve worked and the resilience that they’ve shown over their time at Western Oregon. They’re perfect examples of what it is to come to a program and give it all and to genuinely put your time and effort into improving as an individual, but also helping your team improve and I think that’s the culture we want to set here.”

Students may not even know they’re missing out on critical moments at Western with the team’s latest win streak — and, if they do know, are likely going to regret it. They play a fun style of soccer and radiate a contagious, positive energy that shines through to everyone in the stands. “I think it’s been a lot, but in a good way, because I think a lot of the girls that came in new didn’t expect it to be this way,” said Foster. “We’ve brought in this standard that there’s so much fun to college soccer, but also we just love to be here and play the sport we love. So I think that’s been like the biggest thing, especially freshmen coming in. I love how they’re just so new and just want to experience the fun things like that.” Their next home game will be against Simon Fraser Oct. 23 at 2 p.m. on the Turf Field. Something to know about the team for new fans this season, according to Foster, is, “We definitely bring that competitive energy. We’re never going to be the ones to just get hit and stay on the ground. We’re always very loud.”

“This team can make big plays,” said Bingham. “On offense and defense, they never back away from the challenge, and they turn difficult moments into looking easy sometimes. I think that’s fun, and it’s just an exciting group to watch. It’s a very competitive group. So no matter who’s on the field, they’re always going to bring something special.”

As of Oct. 14, the winning streak has come to a conclusion, but after the game against Simon Fraser, the Wolves will have five regular-season matches remaining, capping it off with a Senior Day celebration versus Montana State Billings Nov. 8. From there, they will look to qualify for the GNAC championships and put together a successful postseason run.
