We present preliminary measurements of the relative rates of atmospheric [nu][sub [mu]] and [nu][sub e] interactions from the first 0.5 kton-year exposure of the Soudan 2 experiment. The results are consistent with deficit of [nu][sub [mu]] relative to [nu][sub e] reported by the water Cerenkov experiments, which may be evidence for neutrino oscillations.
