Pomona-Pitzer (P-P) men’s and women’s cross-country swept the SCIAC Championships on Friday, Oct. 30, marking the first time since 1979 that both programs won the conference title in the same year. With the win, the women’s team ended Claremont-Mudd-Scripps’ (CMS) long-running winning streak, while the men extended their own run to six straight championships.

Both teams entered the race with the shared goal of bringing home a conference title together. For the women’s team, the win was the payoff of years of falling short to their neighbors across Sixth Street.

“It was insane, like so much better than we could have expected,” Fiona Bodkin PO ’27, who finished eighth in 22:14.4, said. “We just blew CMS out of the park, I’m not going to lie.”

The women’s team dominated, placing all seven of their top runners in the top 10. The men’s team, although successful in their goal of securing the program’s 27th SCIAC championship, faced a tighter race, beating CMS 33-39.

At the 5Cs, Halloweekend rarely happens without a plan: costumes for every night, wristbands claimed days in advance and group chats coordinating it all. This year, students also planned around something new after an arrest on Pomona College’s campus Friday night, going out in groups and keeping a closer eye on one another.

Some changed their plans, while others went ahead with a little more caution.

“I think I’ll definitely be a little more careful and on the lookout, but it’s not going to stop me from having fun,” Shravan Ramesh PO ’30 said.

This semester, students launched a new chapter of Planned Parenthood Generation Action (PPGA) at the 5Cs, which leaders said is determined to enhance access to reproductive health care, promote civic engagement and hold events with other student groups.

A subsidiary of Planned Parenthood, PPGA is a national network of youth and student organizers advocating for reproductive freedom, sex education and civic engagement. The new 5C chapter is one of more than 350 across the country.
 
Cleo McHenry HM ’29, Claremont College PPGA president, said the new chapter aims to fill a gap in understanding of what healthcare resources are available to students on campus. She said that questions like “Do we have to pay for pregnancy tests at Student Health Services?” or “Are there free options on campus?” often don’t have clear answers because they vary by school.
 
To combat this, the group plans to create a resource bank of what organizations, hotlines and help centers exist on campus.

The Grove House Kitchen at Pitzer College welcomed customers for the first time this semester on Oct. 27 after a broken dishwasher delayed their operations. Despite the delay, the student-run restaurant saw over 200 visitors from across the 5Cs during its opening week, with many students emphasizing the role the Grove House plays in the college community. 

In the weeks approaching the reopening, kitchen lead baker and shift lead Leo Godsberg PZ ’27 said the entire staff looked forward to its return. 

“I think everyone has just been super excited,” Godsberg said. “Every single staff member at the Grove House has been itching to open up to the public and to do service.”

Students across the Claremont Colleges gathered on Tuesday, Nov. 3, to follow the results of the 2026 midterm elections at multiple watch parties.

On Wednesday, Nov. 4, Claremont McKenna College government professors Jack Pitney and Andrew Sinclair hosted a post-election debrief at the CMC Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum where they analyzed the results in which Democrats won control of both the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate.

Sinclair said the significance of this election “shapes the way we understand other elections from the past.”

“This was big not just because of the results, but because in some ways it was a test of different theories of politics,” Sinclair said.

Have you ever texted your ex? Yeah, been there. You probably shouldn’t. In this episode of 5Cs After Dark, Siena Giacoma PZ ’27 and Arianna Kaplan SC ’27 tackle the morality of sending a late-night “thinking of you” message, featuring Giacoma’s ex-boyfriend.

“When I asked whether there’s a statute of limitations on being insane about someone, he estimated ‘20, 25 years,’” Giacoma writes. “We’re only five years in, which leaves me 15 to 20 more years of legally sanctioned delusion.”
