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)

NFL's Saints to honor XU alum, journalist Champ Clark

Peter W. "Champ" Clark

November 27, 2011
NEW ORLEANS — Two-time Xavier University of Louisiana
graduate Peter W. "Champ" Clark is one of 10 New Orleans sports journalists and publicists
honored by the New Orleans Saints with press-box plaques in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
Saints spokesman Justin Macione said the plaques will
be displayed on the third row of the press box in time for the Saints' Monday home game against the New York Giants.
Clark, who died in 2006 at age 92, received bachelor's
and master's degrees in English from Xavier. He was a pioneering and award-winning African-American
journalist, writing for a variety of publications and doing play-by-play
of XU basketball games on radio.
The Saints Hall of Fame awarded Clark in 2001 with its
Joe Gemelli Fleur De Lis Award for contributions to the franchise.
"My dad was the whole nine yards," Clark's son Mark said.
"He was gumbo, he was French bread, he was a snowball,
and he was a neighbor sitting on your front porch. He never stopped trying to figure
out ways to improve our city."
Bill Curl, Buddy Diliberto, Peter Finney, Hap Glaudi,
Wayne Mack, Bruce Miller, Bob Roesler, Jerry Romig and Frank Wilson are the Saints'
other honorees.
