Multiple leftist student groups across the 7Cs collaborated on a “Week of Action” from Oct. 5 to 9, organizing a series of events including teach-ins, poetry readings, a 10:07 a.m. walkout and additional programming. The events marked three years since the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas-led attacks on southern Israel, with student organizers protesting Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza, as declared by the UN.

“This upcoming week not only marks the beginning of the most recent escalation of the genocide against the Palestinian people, it is a time for us to honor their struggle by remaining steadfast in our commitment to fight for Palestinian liberation and confront our institutions’ complicity in the ongoing genocide,” Claremont Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) wrote in a Sept. 30 Instagram post announcing the week’s events. 

Amid tensions between the college administrations and certain student organizations advocating for Palestinian liberation, students raised concerns over some of the programming and questioned its choice of timing.

About 150 community members across the 7Cs gathered at Scripps College’s Elm Tree Lawn Thursday at 1 p.m. and marched to Pomona College’s Walker Beach to rally against sexual violence in the wake of drugging and sexual assault allegations at Cornell University. 

Co-organizers Don James (DJ) Basilico PO ’27 and Stephanie Li PZ ’28 brought together several student organizations, advocacy groups and Title IX Coordinators to spread awareness about sexual violence on college campuses and to protest the Cornell Administration. Li said she organized the rally to stand with the Cornell plaintiff, referred to as Jane Doe in a lawsuit filed last month, and every survivor of sexual violence.

“I wanted to send a message to Jane Doe to tell her that we, as the Claremont College Consortium, support her,” Li said. “I wanted to send a message to Cornell that this is what a proper administration that supports its survivors looks like.”

The EmPOWER Center, a violence prevention and advocacy center, aims to support all 7C members by offering bystander intervention training and support hours. The CMC and Pomona advocates both have a 24-hour hotline. CGU and KGI students can reach their advocates by hotline as well. Scripps Advocates operate an anonymous non-emergency “warmline,” which operates from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. every day of the school year. HMC, Pitzer and Scripps Advocates all have support hours by appointment or drop-in.

Claremont Hillel hosted Rom El-Hai, a survivor of the Hamas-led attack on the Nova Music Festival, for a memorial service on Thursday to mark the three-year anniversary of Oct. 7. El-Hai spoke about his experience during and after the attacks to a group of around 30 5C students and community members on Oct. 8 at the Hillel house. 

“It’s incredibly powerful,” Interim Director of Claremont Hillel Jeanine Borland Mann said. “Each story is unique and different, and what’s powerful to me is how many lives have been changed because of this event. And that’s why I think these are so important to hear and to continue to hear their stories, to remember and also learn about the importance of building bridges and working with others, and working to create peace.”

As the new school year gets underway, a new group of student body presidents is stepping into leadership roles across the 5Cs, each bringing their own priorities and ideas for the year ahead.

From increasing student engagement and rebuilding campus communities to advocating for shared governance and transparency, the presidents at Harvey Mudd, Scripps, Pitzer, Claremont McKenna and Pomona are looking to make their mark on their campuses.

“I really want to bridge a connection between the student body and the senate,” Pitzer Senate President Amirah Haque PZ ’27 said.

As they balance student government with life outside of their leadership roles, the presidents are also finding time to highlight the people, places and events that make their campuses home.

Uncovering a long-lost legacy, Meiya Rollins PO ’29 reflects on her summer research on the artist Francisco Sánchez Flores and his time in Claremont in 1935. Rollins describes how she felt disconnected from Claremont compared to her hometown, Memphis. Yet, she discovered that they may not be so different after all.

She began learning more about how Claremont became a hub for artists of Mexican heritage to teach and perform at Padua Hills Theatre. During Sánchez Flores’s time at Padua, he worked on many projects, ranging from paintings to plays. 

“Behind her are stylized rolling hills lined with fences decorated with crosses,” Rollins writes regarding one of his paintings. “What makes this painting my favorite is that, from our view, we are the ones she is offering to. We are all a part of Sánchez Flores’s work, a part of his home, even if we might be the dead in this painting.”

Nicholas Steinman CM ’28 builds a case against a recent Claremont Independent article defending suburban neighborhoods, arguing that urban cityscapes provide a more sustainable alternative to housing shortages and low-density sprawl.

“As a Los Angeles native, I certainly wouldn’t mind if some parts of my own famously congested and unaffordable city looked more like that,” Steinman writes. “But in most areas, suburban urbanism looks like revitalizing what already exists to create more neighborhoods like Claremont, which lies somewhere in between the concentrated density of a high-rise suburban ‘edge city’ and the dystopian monotony cheered by the CI article.”

The Sixth Street trophy belongs to the Stags once more. On Sept. 26, the Claremont-Mudd Scripps (CMS) football team reclaimed the storied title, defeating the Sagehens 22-10 at Merritt Field. With the win, CMS improved to 2-1 on the season, and is now tied for first in SCIAC with a 1-0 record in conference play.

Kicker Sean Lee CM ’29 led the way for the Stags’ offense, drilling a CMS-record five field goals, including a fourth quarter dagger to put the Stags up by 12 with 1:34 to go. For head coach Kyle Sweeney, players like Lee stepping up to the moment propelled the team to the win. 

“There were quite a few guys that played a lot on defense that hadn't played a lot in the first two weeks,” Sweeney said. “Sean Lee kicking the ball was the obvious one with five field goals. It's a school record, so that was exciting. There were lots of people who did really good jobs.”

Despite the result, the Sagehens are taking advantage of this opportunity to sharpen their approach as they remain focused on their goal of winning SCIAC. 

“I think there's always going to be room for improvement,” Pomona-Pitzer (P-P) head coach John Walsh said. “We'll watch the film. We played for four quarters. You never quit. The players played to the last whistle, so we can build on that.”

From Sept. 25 to Sept. 26, Claremont McKenna (CMC) celebrated its 50th anniversary of co-education. CMC was initially founded as a men’s college in 1946, but officially opened enrollment to all genders in 1976.

The Sept. 25 panel invited members from the class of 1980 — the first class of graduates that included women — to reflect on the historical evolution of CMC’s co-education, during which speakers emphasized the importance of accessible education to all genders. In interviews with TSL, some alumni explained what it was like to be women at CMC then and how that experience persists today.

“When we first came, the men were welcoming or silent,” Fitzpatrick said. “But then over a couple years, there became this movement that was misogynistic and trying to push women out.” 

Fitzpatrick noted how men would wear t-shirts that said “GCO,” which stood for “get c—s out.”  She said the shirts were part of a targeted harassment campaign from a minority of men at CMC who opposed co-education.
