P-P Students Dodge, Duck, Dip, Dive, and Dodge

Pomona College: Police State?
“After ‘Victory Friday’ in Tunisia and ‘Liberation Friday’ in Egypt, [Libyan strongman Muammar] Gaddafi has decided to abolish all Fridays.” So declared the U.A.E.-based columnist Sultan al-Qassemi two weeks ago. It was an absurd statement, but it also illustrates why many of Gaddafi’s subjects are currently marching in the streets
Men’s Basketball Drops Final Game to Stags
P-P Ends a Season of Rebuilding and Reevalution as the Sagehens Look to 2012 I’m not even disappointed that we lost to CMS. Really, I’m not. This may sound like the bitter post-game rationalizations of a diehard fan, but I just wasn’t into the basketball rivalry this year. Maybe it

The defending SCIAC champions started off their 2010 campaign
Football Hopes to Upset CMS
Just in time for Homecoming, the Pomona-Pitzer football team earned its first victory of the season, defeating the University of La Verne 28-26 in triple overtime.

Mirman’s Two Goals Lift P-P Men’s Soccer Over La Verne and Into the Playoffs
Powered by theatrical goals and a game-changing display of thuggery by the La Verne keeper, the Sagehens recorded a 3-1 victory on Saturday and sent La Verne packing in disgrace. The win capped off P-P’s impressive season turnaround—they have gone 6-1 in the second round of conference play after a
