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)

Xavier moves up start times of season-opening matches
August 25, 2010
NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana has
moved up the starting times of its Saturday home women's volleyball matches to
assist with campus preparations for President Obama's visit this weekend.
Athletics Director Dennis Cousin announced the
changes Wednesday.
Xavier will play Belhaven at 1 p.m. — two
hours earlier than originally scheduled — and Alabama State at 5 p.m.
Saturday at The Barn. A match between Alabama State and Belhaven will start
at 3 p.m.
The Xavier-Belhaven match will be the Gold Nuggets'
first since 2004.
The president and members of his Cabinet will visit
New Orleans on the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, which hit the Gulf
Coast on Aug. 29, 2005. The hurricane's damage forced Xavier to suspend
intercollegiate athletics for the 2005-06 academic year, and volleyball
remained suspended until its return this season.
The president is scheduled to speak at Xavier on
Sunday. As a U.S. senator he was the commencement speaker at Xavier in
August 2006.
