Oklahoma State University
Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, Oklahoma, participated in the nationwide student streaking craze in March, 1974. The next year, it became an annual event when students organized another streak called Streaker Night. Above is a streaker in 1975.
Here's one of only about a dozen streakers who came out to streak in the rain in March, 1977.
Here's a guy mooning the crowd in 1979.
And this guy got into the spirit in 1979, going totally naked.
Unfortunately, the newspaper censored the front view of him.
However, OSU was a conservative campus, and local authorities cracked down on the event. Above is a streaker being arrested in 1978. In 1979, 174 people were arrested for streaking or "disturbing the peace." Turnout for the event dropped year by year until the last year, 1984, and after that, OSU Streaker Night was no more.

All good things must come to an end.
I was at OSU for the first streaker night in 1974. The Strip is the college bar area south of campus. Just off the Strip is world-famous Eskimo Joe's, my favorite bar and snooker hall in Stillwater. Garth Brooks was a bouncer there.
Campuses are no longer a place of freedom, without naked men along, so sad
Old days..... I miss the days when men walked freely naked in the locker room with no shame or fear.
