Perspective: The naked truth about streaking at the University of Maryland
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!”
