Hoosier Fiji Editor Mike Mulroy Armstrong Makes Pig Dinner Big Success This past year's Pig Dinner was held on an unseasonably warm February ninth. The main speaker was lU's legendary Bill Armstrong. Graduates from around the country came home to Beechwood to hear Bill speak and reminisce about college days. While exact attendance figures aren't available, the dinner netted the undergraduate chapter an unheard-of profit of over $700. Fortunately, the undergraduate chapter was well repre sented as Bill delivered a very inspirational speech. Indiana's soccer stadium/Little "Foot" track is named after the Indiana University Foundation's most famous personality. While present undergraduates have not had the opportunity to work closely with Mr. Armstrong,Pig Dinner illustrated why his reputation precedes him. Mr. Armstrong's son-in-law.

Most teams with this much inexperi ence would have just settled for being able to finish this 200-lap race, but that was never the case with this year's team. After qualifying in seventh position, the team was looking for a Top Ten finish, but ended up getting a lot more than that. In the middle of the race, the Cutters and Team College Life began working together to get away from the pack. They were joined soon by the Fiji Cycling Team. These three teams, along with Acacia, were able to work together and lap the field. No other teams in the history of the Little 500 have ever been strong enough to lap the field in Bill Armstrong Stadium. However,this changed late in the race when a crash involving lapped riders in the front of the pack took out several teams, including the Fiji team. The team was able to still finish the race, but were pushed back into eighth place. Besides an eighth place finish, the Fiji Cycling Team had two other accomplish ments in the form of Rookie of the Year Awards to Rob "Hix"Pruitt and Troy "Blades" Lewis. Next year should be even more successful for the Fiji Cycling Team. All five riders will be returning, as well as Little 500: FIJI cyclist, Rob "Hix" Pruitt makes his way to the the great team support from John "Oscar" front the pack.
