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)

October 11, 2011
NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana is
in the top 10 for the second straight year on the NAIA Champions of Character Scorecard released
last week by the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics.
Xavier scored 91 points in 2010-11 to tie for fourth
nationally with Biola University of La Mirada, Calif. Xavier climbed three places and four points from the previous
year. NAIA members earned the Champions of Character Five Star Award
by scoring at least 60 points.

Schools earned points in each of the following categories:
character training, conduct in competition, academic focus, character recognition
and character promotion. Institutions earned points based on exceptional
student-athlete grade-point averages and by obtaining zero ejections during
competition throughout the academic year. The scorecard process is based on the NAIA's
flagship program Champions of Character, which emphasizes the five core values of
integrity, respect, responsibility, sportsmanship and servant leadership.
Cornerstone University of
Grand Rapids, Mich., repeated as the NAIA leader with 103 points. Xavier's point total ranked first in Louisiana,
first among Catholic universities, first in the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference,
first among HBCUs (historically black colleges and
universities) and first in the South. A year ago Xavier was second in the South
but first in the other categories.
The GCAC was the only conference with three of the top 10
schools and four of the top 22. The GCAC's Tougaloo College of Tougaloo, Miss., placed eighth with 88
points, Talladega College of Talladega, Ala., tied for ninth with 87 points, and Edward Waters College
of Jacksonville, Fla., tied for 18th with 85 points.
More than 80 percent of NAIA members — 220 in all —
will receive the Champions of Character Five Star Award for 2010-11.
