The annual event featured an Almost Anything Goes obstacle course that included males and fe- males from each living unit. After seemingly endless months of training on Greencastle roads and rid- ing rollers, Little 500 week culminated in one short afternoon of bike racing. Competition in the men's 160-lap race was tense, especially after last year's confusion over the winner. This year, however, Delta Chi not only was the official winner, but also was given the checkered flag. In 1981 Alpha Tau Omega was given the flag, but Delta Chi later was declared the victor. Delta Chi took first place with a 1:39:5.14 clocking. Alpha Tau Omega snatched second with a time of 1:39:46.14 and Phi Kappa Psi moved up from last year's sixth-place finish to take third at 1:40:25.04. In the 100-lap women's race, Pi Beta Phi set a new track record and took first place with a time of 1958. Delta Gamma followed with a time of 1:11:28 and Kappa Alpha Theta took third place at 1:11:43. According to Women's Race Chair- woman Dayle Ohlau, the timing was much more accurate this year in both the men and women's races. Without last year's controversies, Delta Chi and Pi Beta Phi celebrated their victo- ries without delay. The rest of the campus also took the opportunity to celebrate and soon the race was no longer around the track, but to the nearest victory party. q - by Susie Ehlens l1 Kt'v E h IE 9: I- w?

w The Ultimate in Camp 3 Weeken s I ittle 500 week at DePauw once again topped the excitement of any other weekend on campus and gave students an excuse to leave their books before plunging into prepara- tions for final exams. Living units were paired for a week of spirit-building events that tested students' skills in Ultimate Frisbee, Tomatoe Dodgeball, a Burrito Chow- down and a Greased Pig contest. However, the week was not without controversy. The Greased Pig contest was criticized for being cruel to an animal, and the Indianapolis Humane Society sent a letter to the Little 500 Steering Committee in opposition to the event. Despite an organized pro- test, the event occurred as scheduled. The Rocky Horror Picture Show was the mid-week highlight, and stu- dents coated the Union Building Ball- room with rice, toast and rain-soaked newspapers in keeping with the mov- ie's tradition of audience participa- tion. DePauw's annual Little 500 Cycler- ama Sing contest attracted much of the student body to Kresge Audito- rium in the Performing Arts Center. Living units were once again paired to perform acts that related to the This This page, from top down: The Delta iS it . . . The Waiting iS Over Little Chi, Delta Gamma cheering block; 500 theme.
