vancement activities in planning
homecoming activities and reunions.
Activities for homecoming have been
planned throught of the university
advancement office this year because
the university has not selected a new
alumni director Givens said.
She also said said she and Goodrum
began planning from scratch this
year because there is no alumni
director. The hardest part to this
point was selecting a theme to tie in
with the musical "Fiddler on the
Roof1 Givens said.
'We chose the theme Tradition!'
because 'Fiddler on the Roof is about
families and traditions and that is
the feeling we have about ACU"
Givens said
Goodrum said that as Student
Foundation president last year he
worked closely with the Alumni
Association in planning homecoming
events which he feels will be helpful
in preparing for this years
homecoming.
"We want to have as many ac-
tivities as possible to please both
students and alumni" Goodrum said.
