ASLMU provides free period products across campus New menstrual hygiene products available at seven bathrooms around campus. Kennedi Hewitt News Intern @LALoyolan ASLMU began the first phase of their new menstrual hygiene initiative of installing dispensaries with free period products into restrooms on campus. Seven dispensaries were added. They can be found in the library, St. Robert's Hall, Malone, the Life Sciences Building, the Burns Recreation Center and two dispensaries can be found on the first floor of University Hall. ASLMU was inspired by other menstrual justice movements and wanted to join the ripple effect of destigmatizing and normalizing menstruation and menstrual products, according to ASLMU Vice President Emily Sin sky. “I saw them in the U-Hall bathroom before class. I thought it was really cool and I got excited," said Jasmine Sweeney, a freshman psychology major. "There's a lot of controversy going on about menstruation and whether the products should be taxed or if there should even be a price placed on products that people need every month, so I think it's really good that they're actually implementing [this project] on campus.''

Isabella Murillo News Editor @LALoyolan President Trump faces charges of obstruction of Congress and abuse of presidential power after the House of Representatives impeached him in December. Following the impeachment, the Senate will hold a trial to convict or acquit President Trump, which is scheduled to begin today, on Jan. 22. Senators, House impeachment managers and President Trump's lawyers convened yesterday to discuss the details of the trial proceeding. Here is everything you need to know before the trial starts. Seven House impeachment managers will be acting as the prosecutors in the case while Trump's lawyers will be the defense team. Before yesterday's meeting, the White House asked for President Trump's immediate acquittal, arguing that neither of the charges were crimes or impeachable offenses and calling the impeachment process "rigged." President Trump's lawyers and Senate allies are working to keep former national security advisor John Bolton from testifying. Impeachment managers urged senators to reject the rules that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell laid out. Democrats introduced eight amendments they would like to make to his draft, but the Senate voted them all down, at the time of publishing.
