OPINION: Zohran Mamdani's win has made one thing obvious — he has mastered the poetry of politics. But despite my optimism for his tenure, I'm not confident that he can live up to his bold claims.

Notoriety and responsibility carry a heavy burden. Mamdani now faces the task of proving that the energy of youth movements and his careful words can endure beyond the ballot box. His administration will be scrutinized, dissected and held to a higher standard not just by classic Republican opponents but by the young voters who delivered his victory. In fact, even the idea of selling an ineffective product to his voters could represent not only a downfall for Mamdani, but a downfall for the concept of Democratic Socialism as a whole.

On Oct. 21, students on The Bluff received a series of text messages, emails and calls about police activity and a "potential threat" on campus. In response, some students reported feeling safe on campus while others expressed uncertainty about the recommended practices that ought to be taken during potential and active threats.

Following the threat, the Loyolan looked into LMU’s protocol for emergency scenarios, current facility safety and the resulting student sentiment.

In two separate emails to the Loyolan, Roberto Aguirre, vice president of Campus Safety Services, highlighted the University’s detailed processes for handling threats, LMU’s compliance with California Fire Code (CFC) and how students should practice the national best practices of “run, hide, fight” during an emergency.

Jonathan Petropoulos, Ph.D., the John V. Croul professor of European history at Claremont McKenna College, spoke at LMU’s Annual Kristallnacht Commemoration about art looted by N***s and the importance of post-war restitution on Wednesday, Nov. 13. He introduced attendees to his experience studying the restoration of art pieces, promoting his work that includes both a scholarly component and a real-world application. This commemoration brought the community together to remember a night of destruction and its legacy.

“We should use this history and use the commemorations of the Holocaust to understand what fear and hatred of any group can do as a collective,” said Elizabeth Drummond, Ph.D., associate professor of history and director of the Marymount Institute for Faith, Culture and the Arts. “And the ways it can motivate people to violence, lead to violence and lead to violence that’s designed to eliminate an entire culture, an entire people [and] an entire society.”
