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)

NEW ORLEANS — The second annual Jacoby Jones Celebrity Basketball
Slam Jam, a fundraiser game for the Xavier University of Louisiana men's basketball

Jones is a New Orleans native and a wide receiver with the NFL's Houston
Texas the past five seasons. He signed a two-year contract with the Baltimore
Ravens earlier this month.
Additional NFL players expected to participate include
former New Orleans Saints Robert Meachem and Tracy Porter. Also scheduled
to participate will be NFL players Vonta Leach, Brice McCain, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, Jimmy Smith,
Tyrod Taylor and Torri Williams.
The event will include a free autograph session from 5:45-6:15 p.m.
and a performance by the Honeybees dance team.
"Last year's event was fun and quite entertaining,"
XU coach Dannton Jackson said. "I'm certain it will be just as fun and entertaining this time."
