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 adjusts competition schedules after Hurricane Isaac
September 4, 2012
NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of
Louisiana's cross country and women's volleyball teams are adjusting their
schedules after Hurricane Isaac.
XU's distance runners withdrew from this past week's
Mississippi College Opener because of the storm, and the host school subsequently canceled the meet.
Coach Joseph Moses replaced that meet with the Azalea City Classic
at Mobile, Ala., on Sept. 15.
The Gold Rush and Gold Nuggets will open their seasons
Saturday in the Loyola Wolfpack Invitational at Lafreniere Park in Metairie, La. It will be XU's
only local competition of 2012. The men's race will begin at 7:50 a.m., and
the women will run at 8:25.
Xavier did not lose any volleyball matches while the university
was closed but postponed
its home opener against Loyola, which had been scheduled for today (Tuesday, Sept. 4). Coach Christabell
Hamilton said no makeup date has been determined.
The Gold Nuggets (1-2) will travel to Jackson, Miss., for the
Belhaven Tournament on Friday and Saturday. Xavier will play Pensacola Christian,
Mississippi College, Rust and Belhaven in that event, then return home to
play Spring Hill — which was 40-3 a year ago — on Sept. 11 at 7 p.m. in The Barn.
The university received no major damages from the hurricane,
which made landfall on the Louisiana coast on Aug. 28. Classes resumed today.
"Our Xavier staff members are doing an incredible job in
making the campus available for classes and the other required services," XU president
Dr. Norman C. Francis said. "We will continue to pray for all of those who have experienced
the effects of this hurricane and ask that we be spared further hardships during the
remainder of the hurricane season."
