ALMA MATER
In the Mississippi Valley,
In the Crescent Bend
Stands our loved and noble Xavier,
Far her praises send.
Refrain:
Wave her colors bear them onward
Gold and white so true
Hail to thee, all hail, dear Xavier
Hail, all hail, X.U.!
Xavier, ever be our guide
And lead us on the way,
Through life's journey, onward, upward
To the eternal day. (Refrain)

"Think Pink" from the WBCA
|
Saturday the Xavier Gold Nuggets joined the national effort to
increase breast cancer awareness — the "Think Pink" initiative
— when they played Tougaloo at The Barn. Fans were
encouraged to wear pink to the game, and some did. At halftime a breast
cancer survivor, XU employee Eloise Doxie Dixon, addressed the crowd, and there was a raffle
for two tickets to the March 1 Crosstown Classic. Xavier
donated raffle proceeds and other contributions to benefit breast cancer research.
