Is it enemies to lovers? Probably not. But it is opponents at the varsity level to teammates and colleagues at the club level. Sixth-Street rivals CMS and P-P are coming together to rebrand club sports at the 5Cs.

On Feb. 21, the Claremont Lewis Museum of Art hosted its newest exhibition, “She Opens the Door: Women Artists and Writers Shape Language and Space,” curated by Chloe Martinez, poet-in-residence and Claremont McKenna lecturer in religious studies. 

The exhibition, supported by the Pasadena Art Alliance, gathers artists from Claremont and the greater Los Angeles area who challenge inherited ideas of ‘women’s work’ and examine how women’s labor has been historically dismissed or overlooked. Pomona Professor of English Prageeta Sharma was one of the six writers who crafted poetry in relation to the CLMA’s newest exhibit. 

In this video, Sharma is reading from her newest poetry volume, “Onement Won”, highlighting abstract expressionist painter Barnett Newman and explaining how his painting helped her write poems about widowhood, the labor of caregiving and the strain that racism can place on friendship.

Though TSL is quick to cover breaking news about diverse populations, their most recent demographics report reveals the clear lack of diversity in their staff.

In the 90s, the Claremont Colleges had the newspapers Harmony and the Re-View, which spotlighted students of color and women respectively. In 2026, none of the TSL’s twenty seven senior staff are Black or Latine.

“Inclusivity must go beyond accepting every application to TSL, which is how the paper currently operates. Instead, TSL must intentionally encourage applicants from communities present on campus but underrepresented in the paper,” write Vivian Fan PO ’28 and Ila Assegaf PO ’28.

When Amanda Knox took the stage at Scripps’ Garrison Theater on Wednesday, March 24, she didn’t just revisit the headlines — she reclaimed her story. Once cast as a global villain after the murder of her roommate, Meredith Kercher, Knox reflected on the trauma of grief compounded by suspicion, media frenzy and a justice system that moved too quickly to judge.

In conversation with Gretchen Maldonado and student moderator Eden West, she unpacked how bias, misogyny, and narrative-building shaped her case — and how she found resilience in its aftermath.

“Anyone who wants to can find gruesome details about the murder online, but there’s no substitute for hearing such a story of resilience and reclaiming from the very person who lived through it,” Maldonado said.

Since the beginning of her music career with Sonic Youth, Kim Gordon has been an influential figure for the alternative rock scene. At 72, she refuses to give into the forces of mainstream music and releases her third solo industrial trap record ‘PLAY ME’. Andrea Miloshevska PO’28 explores the album’s unexpected highs and lows. 

“Its unorthodoxy is a tribute to her long-lasting eagerness to redefine the meaning of (underground) music and refusal to act as a conventional artist. She is 72, and decided to release an industrial trap album. Despite my criticism of ‘PLAY ME’, I eagerly anticipate her future projects,” writes Miloshevska.

Pitzer College’s Kohoutek Music & Arts Festival, an annual student-led tradition, returned on Saturday, March 28, from 3 p.m. until 1 a.m. the next day on Brant Field & Clock Tower Lawn. 

The four student bands who took the stage were The G Strings, Coast, Stuck in a Jam and Noah’s Ark. Other non-student artists were Peter Harper, HAILE, Lottie’s Asha Imuno, Automatic and Ed Axel. 

“I think it’s always an experience to be able to look at something in front of you and feel your feet on the grass, on the mounds and feel the sonic experience of instruments and speakers, as opposed to just your phone,” Kohoutek organizer Noah Straus PZ ’26 said.

How is Artificial Intelligence (AI) being implemented into literary translation? Ava Chambers ’28 discusses the recent implementation of AI in the translation process, impacting affordability and efficiency, but also raising questions about quality and valuation of translation jobs. Nevertheless, translation is an invaluable part of sharing stories that cannot be entirely supplanted. 

“Both translators and readers share this love of discovery, and a love of connection that we feel in the creation of a literary web: from the first origins of the story to its most recent permutation, from the author’s first spark of creativity to the latest reader of their creation,” Chambers writes.

On March 21, Sagehen Baseball traveled to LoanMart Field in Rancho Cucamonga to take on the Quakes, the Single-A Minor League affiliate of the Los Angeles Angels. The exhibition match-up featured each team’s pitchers throwing to their own batters with the opposing fielders playing defense. 

Despite the odd circumstances, the Sagehens reveled in the opportunity to be treated like professionals for the day. 
“Getting fed in the clubhouse beforehand really made it feel like a real game day,” OF Kai Gonzaga PO ’28 said. “You don’t usually get that treatment. It was a nice perk. It made us feel big time.”

On the field, the Sagehen hitters made a comeback, securing the 6-5 victory. The showing against a professional defense was representative of the elite offensive season they are having. With their skills refined against higher competition, the Sagehens now feel ready to continue their playoff push in the games that count. 

“[This game] showed that we can compete with players at the next level,” 2B Jack Gold PO ’27 said. “It means the team can play with anyone, and that’s something we’re going to carry beyond this game.”

Ryan Long PO ’21 recently pitched in his second World Baseball Classic (WBC) for Great Britain, and completed his fifth full season in Minor League Baseball last fall. From striking out MLB all-stars like Randy Arozarena to becoming the third-ever P-P alumnus to reach the Triple-A level, Long shared a conversation with TSL about his time at the WBC and the Baltimore Orioles Organization. 

This year, after splitting two years between the Chesapeake Baysox and Norfolk Tides, Long strives to make his baseball dream come true — receiving a call-up to the Baltimore Orioles’ major league roster. 

“I want to hopefully push for a major league roster spot this year,” Long said. “Our team [Baltimore Orioles] is really good, and it’s going to be really hard, but that’s my goal. The first step is to make it up to Triple-A. There’s a lot of uncertainty that goes into a major league and a minor league season. A lot depends on injuries and the success of the major league team, but that’s generally where my head is at right now.”
