As soon as I read Jennifer McMichael’s column in Wednesday’s Optimist that the “town was still painted purple,” I got in my car and drove around campus looking for remnants of Homecoming. Jennifer herself could have taken down the one bandana I found in much less time than it took to write her biting prose. That’s oversight, not lack of clean up.

We attend an awesome school on a great campus. The alumni office is all about celebrating the spirit and special nature of ACU and the students who attend here. Find more positive things to write about ACU and Abilene. They’re all around you. And before you criticize next time, lend a hand.
