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)

Free student tickets ready next week for XU arena debut
October 17, 2012
NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana
students can pick up free tickets Oct. 22-26 at XU Student Services
(room 305 of the University Center) for the season-opening basketball
doubleheader in the new Convocation Academic Center.
Dennis Cousin, XU's athletics director, said Wednesday
that students with a valid XU identification card can pick up one free
ticket for the Nov. 3 games featuring Xavier's men against Morehouse at 1 p.m.
and Xavier's women against Johnson & Wales (Fla.) at 3 p.m.
"These are first-come, first-served tickets," Cousin said. "We hope our
students will take advantage of this opportunity to be part of something special
as we move into our new arena. These five days will be the only opportunity
for XU students to get a free ticket to the opening games."
Students and everyone else — including faculty, staff,
alumni and fans — may purchase additional
tickets for $10 each at The Barn and at the cashier's office on the third floor of Xavier South.
Those tickets will go on sale Thursday.
Nov. 3 activities will include tailgating starting
at 10 a.m. and a ribbon-cutting and blessing of the facility at 11:30.
Former Gold Rush basketball players will be introduced at halftime of the men's
game, and former Gold Nuggets basketball players will be introduced at halftime
of the women's game.
