context_page_description: The Student Life is a student newspaper covering the Claremont Colleges, a consortium of liberal arts colleges in Claremont, California. It is published weekly each Friday during the academic year, typically spans roughly ten pages per issue, and is primarily funded by the student governments of the colleges.
  The paper is the oldest college newspaper in Southern California, having been published since 1889. It is also the largest and most widely distributed campus newspaper at the 5Cs, with a significant readership among students, staff, faculty, alumni, and members of the Claremont community. It maintains a staff of around 120 students, including writers, columnists, photographers, videographers, designers, copy specialists, business associates, and editors.
  TSL operates out of Room 101 in Walker Hall on the northern portion of Pomona College's campus.
context_section_description: TSL has four primary sections that appear in each issue: News, Life & Style, Sports, and Opinions.
  The News section appears at the front of the paper, and covers a range of campus politics, issues, and current events, and often includes investigative pieces.  The content specifically focuses on the 5Cs and life on campus, and does not usually include coverage of national or international stories.
  The Life & Style section includes feature stories on campus life, as well as a number of weekly or bi-weekly columns. TSL is well known for its sex column, which appears regularly and is credited to an anonymous author or pseudonym.
  The Opinions section includes opinions pieces by columnists and guest columnists, as well as editorials. The content in this section reflects a broad range of the ideological views found at the 5Cs, which tend (with the exception of Claremont McKenna College) to lean strongly progressive compared to other college campuses.
  The Sports section covers the Pomona-Pitzer Sagehens and Claremont-Mudd-Scripps Stags and Athenas, as well as national sports.
  Once a year, typically on the Friday nearest to April Fool's Day, TSL releases a mock edition of the newspaper with funny articles and satirical news stories.
