During a Preview Weekend, a visiting parent was offended by a 6-foot art piece located in Duke
Hallway and insisted that the painting be removed. The artist, sophomore interdisciplinary studio
art major Dominique Nevarez, depicted a creature for a figure drawing class assignment and was
inspired by tentacles, a rib cage and a rams head. After more than 500 students reacted on Facebook advocating the artists creative freedom, the artwork has been put back on display.

As a result, professors at APU

The Center for Career and Calling presented the grand finale to its
Professional Development Series
with its first-ever Battle of the Interviews competition on April 13 in
Munson Chapel. The event allowed
six finalists from different schools on
campus to compete for $500 based on
their mock interview, professional attire and rsum.
Contestants included senior
communication studies major Jacova Snyder, senior economics major
Jordan Johnson, sophomore theology and biblical studies major James
Curley, senior cinematic arts major
Meagan McGill, senior physics and
business management major Max
Walden and junior psychology, marketing and management major Kendelle Abts.
Each contestant prepared for the
competition by using an internship
or job they chose according to their
major.
Abts, the victor, won over the
judges with her preparedness for a
corporate job at J.Crew: her rsum
showed she had previous experience
with the company, she was able to
answer questions about the franchise
and she even wore a J. Crew outfit.
Im coming out with a lot of
knowledge in hindsight, and I just
feel very confident for going into future interviews knowing that Im...
[capable of] providing the appropriate resources for the interviewers,
Abts said.
Abts, who plans to use her three
majors for a career in marketing and
consumer behavior, said she now
feels comfortable tailoring her experience for specific job descriptions.
Abts revealed that working with
coaches to fine-tune her rsum and
practice answering and asking interview questions helped prepare her
for job applications. She said that she
felt the experience was positive due
to the environment facilitated by the
coaches and other contestants.
[Abts]...let the company she
wanted to work for know that she
was ready to move forward in that
role, Joyce Richardson, interviewer
and administrative assistant in the
Office of Undergraduate Admissions, said.

The purpose of the event was to
shine a spotlight on modern-day slavery and human trafficking.
There are approximately 27 million slaves in the world today, more
than ever before in history, explained
Vanessa Baldoz, a freshman nursing
major and member of Free the Captives leadership team. Approximately one in three detected victims of
slavery is a child. The average age of
children being trafficked in the United States is 11-14, and some victims
are as young as 5 to 6 years old. About
98 percent of victims of sexual exploitation are women and girls. Boys are
victims as well.

RETIREMENT, P. 1
As he approaches
the end of his final
semester, a retirement celebration was
held for him in light
of the legacy he will
leave.
One of Hartleys students, junior
global studies major Alex Dobbs,
highlighted Hartleys kindness, care
and attention to scholarly detail.
Dr. Hartley is kind, humble, joyful, energetic and wise, Dobbs said.
What I have appreciated most about
having Dr. Hartley as a professor is
that he cares so much about his students.
Dobbs said that out of kindness,
Hartley has provided him with readings to help him explore topics he is
interested in. He added that Hartley
also spends time after every period to
get to know him and dig deeper on
class discussions.
While the end of the year brings
the excitement and celebration of
graduation, many students, staff and
faculty will be tipping their caps to
the permanent legacy of academic
excellence and kindness that Hartley
will leave at APU.

For a week every spring semester, APU and other colleges nationwide recognize students who thrive
as both scholars and student workers.
Student Employee Appreciation Week, due to the efforts of the
National Student Employment Association (NSEA), seeks to spread
awareness of the valuable contributions student employees make to college campuses. While positions and
departments vary, student employee
appreciation is meant to recognize
workers through gift giving, notes of
appreciation and free food.
At APU, Student Employee Appreciation Week is celebrated with
vigor, featuring day-to-day acts of
appreciation and culminating with a
celebration at the end of the week. In
many offices, this week is a chance to
celebrate students who have worked
all year while also staying on top of
schoolwork, social events and rest.

Serena Williams even said
Moores statements were very inaccurate.
Junior womens tennis player
Natalie Johnson couldnt agree with
King and Williams more.
Im trying to understand
[Moores] viewpointsmens tennis
and womens tennis have always been
separate. They are not competing
against each other, Johnson said.
Johnson states that women tennis players have been her role models
from a young age.
As far as my game, I look to
Roger Federer for his strokes, I like
his forehand and I try to emulate that,
[but] he wasnt necessarily the person
who inspired me growing up, Johnson said.
Instead, it was Steffi Graf and
ments.
We all have to fight for what we
deserve. This was never meant to be
made into a fight between genders
and difference in pay, but in the way
all players are rewarded for their play
and effort, Djokovic said.
Prize money should be equal for
men and women. A win is a victory
and deserves to be treated as such.
Gender discrimination in the
sports world is no new issue. In fact,
in early April 2016, the Womens U.S.
National Soccer team announced its
lawsuit against the U.S. Soccer Federation with the Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission for wage
discrimination.
Despite the womens team winning the World Cup and generating
almost $20 million more in revenue
last year than mens soccer, they were
paid about a quarter of what the
mens team earned.
Is a lawsuit something that is on
the horizon for the tennis world?
It is not because of men that
women are successful in tennis or
any other sport. It is because other
women have continuously fought for
their right to play the sport. Women
have fought for their right to to be
treated as equals and to receive equal
treatment. And they will continue to
do so.
Chris Evert, Billie Jean King,
Maria Sharapova, Steffi Graf, Serena
and Venus Williams among many
other female tennis players paved the
way for women in tennis like Johnson
and Yeom at Azusa Pacific University. Men do not deserve the sole attribution.
