College Streaking - Part 1

 College Streaking - The Craze Begins

A curious craze swept college campuses in the early 1970s, peaking in the spring of 1974, namely, streaking.  Although there were female streakers, it seems that 99% were male.

The first streak that we have a picture of occurred at Columbia University in New York City on November 11, 1973.

Followed shortly after by this guy at Texas A&M on November 20, 1973.

Then Florida State University on January 15, 1974.

Then this one happened in Manhattan on Feb. 11, 1974.

Tomorrow: the craze spreads to Canada.

Didn't it begin as a hazing stunt?

Possibly. The sources I've seen just say college streaking originated as "pranks".

Capital. A capitol is where legislative bodies meet.

If you're not naked outdoors with a bunch of other dudes at least once, what are you even doing? Even in the 90s, there were more guys not wearing pants at outdoor concerts than guys wearing shorts.
