called “the epidermis epidemic.” Wrote Time: “With astonishing swiftness, streaking, the art of the point-to-point dash in the buff, has burgeoned into an unabashed, pandemic American fad.”It may have seemed as if the streaking pandemic had exploded swiftly, but it had been percolating for at least five years at the University of Maryland.
When an Associated Press story about of this and other nude runs at Maryland spread around the country, appearing in such places as San Angelo, Tex., Charleston, S.C., and Rockford, Ill., it omitted the protest angle. For their part, the nude runners told the Diamondback reporter that running naked helped relieve the monotony of campus life. They said it was a fad they hoped would bring attention to their dorm.
Dulberg argued that he had not been charged with indecent exposure, had not jeopardized anyone’s safety, and had acted totally within the customs and traditions of the university. He was found guilty and ordered into academic probation. He appealed the decision and won. Some sources claim the word “streaking” was born around this time when a Washington television news reporterone of the mass nude runs at Maryland said, “They are streaking past me right now. It is an incredible sight!”
Looks like a real sausage party.

“Right down the middle of the court. Didn’t have nothing on but his PFs , made a hook shot & got out thru the concession stands. I hollered ‘Don’t look Ethel!’ but it was too late , she’d already got a free shot! Grandstandin right there in front of the home team!”
The birth of the phrase, “Like a scared turtle “.
WTF is a 'Terps?'
Streakers repent your end is in sight! 😂😂
It went from 'streak ' to 'stroll' at The University of Tennessee. That was pretty much the end of it.
elonmusk Does Twitter get a commission if I sign up using Twitter? I want to read the article on Twitter and don’t know what this means. The last time I signed up for something, I wasn’t able to connect to read it. It didn’t “recognize” I paid.
That was happening in my freshman year at Florida State University in early 1973!
“Lawmakers wanted to know what Elkins was going to do about it. “The filthy minds have taken over the colleges,” said state senator Frederick Malkus (D-Lower Shore) at the impromptu hearing. “Would good schools like Brigham Young or Notre Dame allow this sort of thing?” 🤣
Streaking is just skinny dipping without the water
