August 21, 2012
March through the Arch: the "New Student March through the Arch," a tradition for ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø freshman, will begin at 5 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 26, at Reed Gymnasium.
ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø President Arthur Vailas, other ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø officials, and the ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø Marching Band will be gathered to welcome new students a day before the fall semester begins on Aug. 27.
The ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø 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 ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø students through the years who have walked through the doors of Swanson Hall, the first building on campus. ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø graduates march through the Arch prior to commencement to symbolize the start of their careers.
Members of the ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø Marching Band will lead participants in singing the ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø Fight Song.
ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø 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! ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø Fight ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø Fight ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø Fight. Go! Go! Go Bengals, Go!"
