        NICKNAME 
        ULM's athletic teams have been known as the Indians since the school 
        began as Ouachita Parish Junior College in 1931. It is believed the 
        nickname was taken because of the legend of the Ouachita Indians, a 
        sub-tribe of the Caddo Indians who supposedly roamed and raided along 
        the Ouachita River basin.  
  
		
        
        
		  
          
          
          
        
        ULM ALMA MATER 
        By the bayou's tranquil water, 
        Where friendships thrive and grow, 
        proudly stands our alma mater 
        ever home for us to go. 
        Here cypress stand in splendor 
        and gracefully they touch the breeze. 
        Though friends may leave 
        and lives may change 
        faithful we shall always be. 
        Shining bright the bayou's gem 
        ever loyal to ULM.  
         
        ULM FIGHT SONG 
        Cheer for the ULM Indians, 
        With their fighting spirit bold. 
        We will keep our banners waving, 
        The old maroon and gold. 
        Our battle cry rings to the sky, 
        Our goal is victory. 
        But win or lose, we'll stand by you, 
        And ever loyal we will be.
