Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ new student March through the Arch set Aug. 25
August 23, 2013
March through the Arch: the "New Student March through the Arch," a tradition for Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ freshman, will begin at 5 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 25, at Reed Gymnasium.
Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ President Arthur Vailas, other Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ officials, and the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Marching Band will be gathered to welcome new students a day before the fall semester begins on Aug. 26.
The Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Marching Band, Benny the Bengal, Cheerleaders and Bengal Dancers will lead a spirited processional from Reed Gym to Swanson Arch. A barbeque will follow on the Hutchinson Quadrangle.
The "March through the Arch" was started in 2000 to symbolize the beginning of new students' academic careers and as a tie to Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ students through the years who have walked through the doors of Swanson Hall, the first building on campus. Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ graduates march through the Arch prior to commencement to symbolize the start of their careers.
Members of the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Marching Band will lead participants in singing the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Fight Song.
Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Fight Song lyrics are: "Growl, Bengals, growl. Fight, Bengals, fight. Gnash your teeth and bare your claws and drive with all your might. Roar, Bengals, roar, you decide our fate! Bring the vict'ry home to us, you Bengals of Idaho State! Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Fight Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Fight Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Fight. Go! Go! Go Bengals, Go!"
