Santa Clara University’s Student Court heard arguments Monday in a case challenging whether Student Body President Claire Krebs ’26 had the authority to veto the Student Senate’s decision not to approve two provisional student organizations for full club status. The case, Schreib v. Krebs, centers on Krebs’ May 7 veto of the Senate’s votes against granting Registered Student Organization status to Friends of MSF and the American Lung Cancer Screening Initiative. Krebs argued the veto was justified because senators made comments about the groups’ motives that she described as “entirely unsubstantiated, irrelevant and unfair.” She said she vetoed the decision to give the Senate another chance to discuss the organizations and give the groups “another chance” at registered student organization status. “My role as a student body president is to be an advocate for all students,” Krebs said during the hearing. Herb Schreib ’26, the Associated Student Governments’ web development chair, argued the case was not about the quality of either organization, but about whether the president can veto a Senate vote that did not pass. Schreib pointed to ASG bylaws stating the president may veto “any resolution, open letter, commendation, or other legislation” passed by the Senate. He argued the Senate’s vote was a failure to approve the clubs, not legislation passed by the body. ARTICLE CONTINUED BELOW

Santa Clara baseball (25-28, WCC 13-14) qualified for the WCC Baseball Tournament with a sweep of its series against Pepperdine (21-32, WCC 15-12) this weekend at Stephen Schott Stadium.  The Broncos crushed the Waves, run-ruling them 10-0 in seven innings in the WCC series opener on Thursday, May 14. They continued their momentum on Friday with another 9-2 win.  Heading into the final game of the series, the Broncos knew what was at stake. A win on Saturday would secure the sixth and final spot in the WCC Tournament.  The Broncos began conference play 3-12. Entering Saturday’s game, they had won seven consecutive games. The game also marked Senior Night, with 12 seniors honored in a pregame ceremony.  Saturday did not feature the offensive explosion Santa Clara had in the previous two nights. However, solo runs by Luke Devine ’28 and Ben Cleary ’27 helped the Broncos secure the 3-2 victory.  With the win, Santa Clara finished the season 13-14 in conference play, tying Portland in the standings. Because the Broncos won the head-to-head season series 2-1, they earned the final spot in the WCC Tournament.  Santa Clara will make its third appearance in the last four years at the WCC Baseball Tournament. The Broncos won the tournament in 2023 and were eliminated in the opening round in 2024.  Their eight-game winning streak ties the program’s longest since May 2023, when Santa Clara won eight straight games during its run through the WCC Tournament and into an NCAA Regional.  Six of the WCC’s ten teams qualify for the tournament.  The winner of the WCC Baseball Tournament receives the conference’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.  Next up: The No. 6 Broncos will face No. 3 University of San Francisco in the first round of the WCC Tournament in Scottsdale, Ariz. on Wednesday, May 20, on ESPN+. The last time the teams met, the Dons swept the Broncos in three consecutive one-run games on the road. A win against San Francisco would send Santa Clara to a matchup with No. 1 Gonzaga. 📝: @aneeka.sideline @ninaglickphoto 📷: @ninaglickphoto
