In her article Bad Art is Important, Anna Grace Askelson writes, “This idea that your art holds value when and only when it is marketable simply is not true.” Find out what happens when you start making art for yourself and no one else in our latest issue.

STUDENT PERSPECTIVE: The Current Impeachment Process:
•
Jordan Brazell: “If what [Democrats] are saying is true, I don’t think Trump should stay in office. What he’s done, or supposedly done, doesn’t represent our country well.”
•
Odi Ozuligbo: “It’s long overdue. I don’t he’ll get removed from office, but I hope he does.”
•
Anna Davis: “It might not actually go anywhere, but I think it’s a good thing they’re making an
effort.”
•
Connor Vaughn: “I feel like it’s warranted, but it also seems like a witch hunt. I feel it’ll have the
opposite affect that Warren and Biden want because they’re stuck in 2016 when they are trying
to win in 2020.” #politics #trump #impeachment

SHOULD SEAN SPICER EVEN BE ON DANCING WITH THE STARS? 💫
“Sometimes famous people make mistakes, or sometimes they begin to fall into obscurity. Sometimes they want to have fun, and sometimes they are just the most recent star of “The Bachelor.” If a celebrity falls into any of these categories, more often than not they will find themselves on “Dancing with the Stars.”” -Katy Barnes

CAN YOU SEPARATE THE ART FROM THE ARTIST?
Story by Josie Shaw
Art by DeAndra Hodge

“As an audience of art, no one should be required to pay attention or take care of celebrity's mental health,” writes Josie Shaw in Issue 5 of The Alabamian, “but to have a fully educated opinion one needs to understand what bipolar disorder is and how it affects him and his actions.”

Shaw discussed the impact that West’s mental health has on his music, and the things that he says after releasing music.
