Ski-U-Mah

Ski-U-Mah was the name of the college humor magazine of the University of Minnesota from circa. 1929-1950. Its most prominent writer was Max Shulman, who later wrote the stories that became the television program The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis.

Ski-U-Mah (pronounced SKY-YOU-MAH) is a cheer used at the University of Minnesota since 1894. Two rugby players, John W. Adams and Win Sargent, created the cheer by combining "Ski", a Sioux battle cry with "U Mah" for the University of Minnesota. The cheer is used in the Minnesota Rouser, Go Gopher Victory, and Minnesota March.

A meeting room at the McNamara Alumni Center at the University of Minnesota is named "Ski-U-Mah", as is one of the campus parking lots.
