College Classrooms Invaded By STREAKERS!
<snip>

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. -- Professor Eva Grudin was about to lead her students in a discussion of whether an abstract painting was meant to invoke a certain part of the male anatomy when her class was interrupted by the real thing.

With no warning, two naked students barged into her Williams College lecture hall, struck a quick pose for the 150 students there, and ran out.

Nothing abstract here. Grudin and her students had just been streaked.

But this was no one-time prank by some drunken college students. It was yet another performance by two members of the Springstreakers, the latest unofficial student activity club at this elite liberal arts college.

"It's hard to get your bearings back and continue with your lecture after that," said Grudin, who let out a shriek that was followed by her students' laughter, then applause when the streakers stole everyone's attention Monday from a slide projection of Robert Motherwell's vaguely phallic depiction of a bull.

With two weeks before the end of final exams, Grudin and many of the students on the prim 2,000-student campus in the Berkshires say the Springstreakers are offering just the kind of stress relief that so many need right now.

The Springstreakers -- the name is a riff on Spring Street, which cuts through campus -- boast nine active members, all men except for one, and they're always looking to recruit new ones.

Membership requires a willingness to shed clothing and an ability to run quickly. "A big part of our protocol is streaking while sober," said Andy "Tex" Whinery, one of the founders.

1. Ah, responsible streakers (streaking while sober)
Friends don't let friends drink and dangle. :P

2. How about a 6'5" dude walking up to the salad bar
wearing only a football helmet. What a hoot!

That happened when I was in college (back in Medieval times).
