IU Little 500 bicycle races
Women's race: April 21, 4 p.m., Armstrong Stadium, Bloomington and
Men's race: April 22, 2 p.m., Armstrong Stadium, Bloomington
-- The Little 500 features a 200-lap men's race and a 100-lap women's race, both on a quarter-mile cinder track. Entrants ride one-speed Roadmaster bicycles which must meet rigid specifications. Teams are made up of as many as four riders. The riders treat the race much like a running relay -- when one rider is tired, s/he exchanges the bicycle with a teammate. The Little 500 is much more than a bike race. It is the biggest intramural event on campus and the largest collegiate bike race in the United States. Going into its 52nd year, the Little 500 boasts a tradition like few other college events. More than 20,000 people attend the men's and women's races every year, with the proceeds used for working student scholarships at Indiana University.

As a result, physicians and their patients have to slog through some of their own "clinical trials" before they find a drug or dose that works. Now, the deciphering of the human genome promises an era in which drugs and patients can be much better matched in advance -- the era of pharmacogenetics. By Eric Schoch
