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)

XU celebrates Midnight Madness on Friday at The Barn
|
October 18, 2011
NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana will
celebrate the 2011-12 basketball season with Midnight Madness at The Barn.
The free event will run from 9 to 10:30 p.m. Friday (Oct. 21),
followed by a block party with free food and soft drinks from 10:30 p.m. to midnight
in the parking lot in front of The Barn. Midnight Madness and the block party
will be open to all.
"We want Midnight Madness to generate strong spirit for XU on
our campus and in the community," said Dannton Jackson, in his ninth season as coach
of Xavier's men. "And we hope it will boost our attendance at The Barn
this season and give the Gold Rush and the Gold Nuggets the best possible home-court advantage."
Fans can participate by entering a costume contest
— the person whose costume best demonstrates Xavier spirit will win $100 —
and more prizes will be awarded during a 3-point shooting contest.
The Rush and Nuggets, both 27-game winners and NAIA Division
I National Championship participants this past season,
will conduct 15-minute intrasquad scrimmages. Xavier's three spirit groups — the cheerleaders,
the Gold Star Dancers and the Golden Girls pom squad — also will perform.
"You can expect a few surprises too," said Bo Browder,
in his 13th season as coach of XU's women. "Our fans will have fun and
be entertained at Midnight Madness."
