Though the fields for the men’s and women’s Little 500 were set Saturday, the biggest story of the day was who didn’t make the race. Defending men’s champion Alpha Tau Omega failed to make the field for the 57th men’s Little 500 after faulting on all three qualification attempts.

Internal investigation

By Alyson Brodsy · Monday, March 26,2007 12 a.m.

Forgive the cliche, but with great power comes great responsibility. In accordance with incoming President Michael McRobbie’s new contract, with a substantial pay-hike comes greater accountability. The details of McRobbie’s contract were made public last week, complete with some changes from President Adam Herbert’s contract including a $40,000 pay increase (making his salary about average among similarly-sized schools) and basic annual reviews by the board of trustees.

Theme parties: Dress outside the box (or closet)

By Teri Rosenbaum · Monday, March 26,2007 12 a.m.

The walk of shame. Ordering Pizza Express at 3 a.m. and passing out before it arrives. Trying to be the first person to pee on one of those ridiculous $50,000 musical clocks on campus. What do all of these have in common? Well, they were all pretty fun for me last night! Just kidding, there was no way I was going to pass out before I got my cheese bread and ranch. Forget my diet. I stop counting calories when I start losing the ability to count.

The voluntary review by a panel of seven prominent museum directors gives recommendations to strengthen each museum and is similar to an external examination of the Smithsonian’s science programs in 2003. The review was adopted by the Smithsonian Board of Regents in January, though it was not released until Wednesday.

The spirit of this year’s Little 500 will proceed as it has since its inception in 1951. The riders have and continue to prepare tirelessly for April 20 and 21. Sweat, blood and tears have been shed over hours of self-discipline, and for one team in each respective race, it will pay off in victory. Those who are defeated can hold their heads high in accomplishment of completion.
