    The University of Louisiana at Monroe was founded as Ouachita Junior College in 1931. During the inaugural year, the Girls' Athletic Association organized the first sports activities for the women students. This program grew until there was competition in baseball, tennis, and track for girls. Track competition included the 50 yard dash, 100 yard dash, 1/2 mile run, high jump for girls over 5 1/2 feet, high jump for girls under 5 1/2 feet, broad jump, ball throwing, javelin hurling, and discus throw.
    In 1932, Coach Paul Kemerer organized the Intramural Program, which was sponsored by the
Athletic Department. Sports offered were football and basketball. The program consisted of ten teams, not one of which could use any two lettermen, and all players had to be approved by the coach.
    In 1933, Intramural baseball, basketball, handball, track, volleyball, tennis and boxing were added to the schedule of activities. The Athletic Association gave awards to the students achieving athletic excellence in the Intramural Program.
    The college became affiliated with Louisiana State University in 1934 and was named Northeast Center of Louisiana State University. During this period a softball league was added to the program, and the season was highlighted by the selection of an All Star team.
    In 1937-39, under the direction of Miss Ada Bess Hart and Mr. Alva S. Huffman, the Physical Education Department at Northeast Center took over the direction of the Intramural Program with almost total male student participation. The activities provided then were basketball, badminton, and softball.
   In 1939, the school was taken over by Louisiana State University and was called Northeast Junior College of Louisiana State University. In 1940, Mr. Huffman organized the first Intramural Council of Men. They were responsible for supervising the Intramural activities for men. Miss Hart and the Women's Athletic Association maintained control of the Women's Intramural Program.
    There was a slight lag in the men's intramurals in the early 1940's because of the many boys sent over-seas to war. During this period, the main interest here at home was centered around basketball and football teams. However, in 1944, a revival of interest in the Northeast Intramural Program was instigated.
    In 1950, Northeast Junior College became a four year institution and the name was changed to Northeast Louisiana State College. Co-educational Intramurals were established in 1952 under the direction of Mr. Huffman and Women's Recreational Association became the ruling intramural organization for women.
    In 1971, Northeast Louisiana State College became Northeast Louisiana University.
   Within the last 12 years the Intramural Office has been under the leadership of many prominent people:  Dr. Carl Meeks in 1957, Robert Murdock in 1959, Dr. Patrick McLane in 1965, John Nipper in 1966, and Dr. Richard Buck from 1967 to 1974. Miss Ida Chadwick administered the Women's Intramural Program in 1965 and Ms. Betty Faught directed the Women's Program
from 1966-1976.
    The Department of  Recreation and Sports was established at The University of Louisiana at Monroe August 26, 1974, with Jack C. Rowan as Director. Intramurals for both men and women and intercolle-giate athletics for women were incorporated into this department which functions under the Division of Student Affairs.
    In August, 1975, Camile Currier became The University of Louisiana at Monroe's first full-time
Intramural Coordinator for men and women.
    In July, 1976, Miss Betty Faught became Director of the Department of Recreation and Sports.
    In August, 1977, Recreation and Intramurals was placed in the Department of Student Development, which is under the directorship of Charles H. McDonald.
    In April, 1982, ULM students overwhelmingly passed a referendum to help finance Intramurals through a self assessed tuition increase.
    In December 1987, ULM students passed a refer-endum to finance the new Activity Center.
    In April 1991, construction began on the new student funded five million dollar Activity Center.
    On Monday, March 1, 1993, the ULM Activity Center officially opened its doors to the ULM student body, faculty/staff, and graduated alumni.
    The Department of Recreational Services was established in January, 1997, with Camile Currier as director. Intramurals, Wellness, Recreation, Oxford Natatorium, University Park, and the Activity Center were incorporated into this Department.

Purpose Back to Top

The ULM Office of Intramural Services strives to provide progressive and comprehensive programming designed to meet the interest and needs of the students, faculty, and staff regardless of their athletic ability or skill.

These offerings include league play in competitive team sports such as football, basketball, volleyball, soccer, and softball, as well as individual and co-rec activities in frisbee, darts, pool, bowling, racquetball, and table games. A complete list of events is contained in the Intramural Handbook. A detailed schedule is available at the beginning of each semester.

    The units for competition of this Intramural Program are based upon the permanent campus organizations that are a part of this institution. The campus organizations are divided
into four specific groups: social fraternities and sororities; resident halls; professional and religious organizations; and independents.
    This program is student oriented and requires the assis-tance of student intramural managers and team captains.  Remember that the success of an organization is proportionate to the dedication of its student leadership. The duties are as follows:

l. Intramural Manager Duties

        managers meetings
    b. contact the intramural office frequently
