The 30th running of the women’s Little 500 is set to kick off at 4 p.m. Friday at Bill Armstrong Stadium. Last year’s winner, Phoenix, was composed entirely of seniors — and thus did not field a team this year — so a new champion will be crowned Friday. Perennial powerhouses Delta Gamma and Kappa Alpha Theta look to lead the pack. With the two fastest qualification times, the two teams will begin the race in the first and second slots, respectively. In addition to solid starting positions, both Delta Gamma and Kappa Alpha Theta have had

a history of race-day success. Delta Gamma has finished fifth or better in six of the past seven years with two first-place finishes. Kappa Alpha Theta has been just as good in terms of finishes, if not better. In the past five years, the team has won the race twice — in 2015 and 2016 — and finished second twice. The only time Kappa Alpha Theta failed to finish in the top two in that span was last year, when it ended in fourth. SEE WOMEN’S RACE, PAGE 5

Men prepare for rainy race Saturday tjsorg@indiana.edu | @t_sorg

MEN’S 67TH LITTLE 500 RACE Tickets $40 2 p.m. Saturday, Bill Armstrong Stadium

Men’s teams will most likely be riding on a wet track when the 67th running of the Little 500 starts at 2 p.m. this Saturday. The current forecast predicts between an 85and 95-percent chance of rain in the eight hours leading up to the race. However, by the start of the race, the chance of rain drops to 20 percent and will not go above 25 percent during it. Junior Joe Krahulik of Sigma Alpha Epsilon said he does not see the rain changing the way his team approaches the race but does believe his team could benefit from a wet track. He said riding in mud-like conditions can wears riders down.

“I think teams that are physically smaller are going to have to be a little more conservative because the wet conditions benefit bigger, stronger guys,” Krahulik said. “I think it’s looking good for us. It will slow the race down a little bit, and hopefully it makes it easier for me to get to the last lap.” The potential of rain does not intimidate senior Charlie Hammon of Black Key Bulls. Hammon said he’s disappointed the race will likely be cold because the team has prepared in mid 70-

IU Health leaders encourage caution as Little 500, allergy season clash By Jordan Guskey jguskey@umail.iu.edu | @JordanGuskey

As the weekend of Little 500 arrives, allergy season is in full swing. The two have crossed paths in the past, but Dr. Diana Ebling, medical director for the IU Health Center, said warmer weather in February and March partially sped up the timeline. OASIS Director Jackie Daniels stood before a School of Public Health class last week to educate students about information that might serve them well during the week leading up to, and the weekend of, the Little 500 bike race. OASIS is an IU Health Center department that works to provide alcohol and drug

prevention, education and intervention to students. Mixing a depressant like alcohol with something like Benadryl, which Daniels said she considers a sedative, could be dangerous. As she said this, Daniels noticed a student’s eyes widen. “What’s your reaction about?” she recalled asking. “I just never thought about that,” the student replied. The IU Health Center saw 111 patients in March for allergy visits and two-thirds of the way through April has seen another 209. Ebling said usually the patients exhibit similar expressions of surprise to that of the student SEE ALLERGIES, PAGE 5

Soul Revue plans show full of visual, musical mastery By Sanya Ali siali@indiana.edu | @siali13

The IU Soul Revue’s Spring Concert is a celebration of African-American musical tradition, but this year, there will be a show unlike any other the ensemble has performed. The concert, titled “Evolution of Soul,” will take place starting at 8 p.m. Saturday at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater and will incorporate elements of theatricality in with their traditional lineup of funk, rhythm and blues, and soul music. “There’s also going to be the first half which is more of a musical performance and the second half is going to be more of a concert type,” IU Soul Revue director Crystal Taliefero said. “We’re going to have props, which we’ve never had before, and we’re going to have more stage and light design than we’ve ever had before – it’s just going to be a pop rock concert.” The theme of evolution deals not only with the music, but with the

One student will narrate this transformation through the performance. He will begin speaking as an African storyteller or music man at the show’s start and eventually turn into a present-day emcee. “You’ll see the transformation takes place visually and orally,” Taliefero said. “There’s also the context of the history of evolution of AfricanAmerican music. He’s going to give you the background and story behind how all of this is changing and what took place during the times.” Raynetta Wiggins, road manager for the group, said the incorporation of the history is one of the most SEE CONCERT, PAGE 5
