THE SEWANEE PURPLE
Sewanee
Thursday, March 14, 1974
Streaking:
Goldfish Anyone
Streaking, the simple art of running around naked as
a jay bird, has invaded the cloistered halls of Sewanee.
The idea seems to be to shock as many people as
possible by running naked through public places. Tennis
shoes and ski masks are required for the event, although
the less inhibited may shed even these accessories.
After an initial incident last week, the fad assumed
gigantic proportions, enlisting new recruits every day.
Participants called it a rite of spring, a symbol of
liberation. Nonetheless,
streaking soon peaked and
quickly faded from the campus scene.

them by
maintaining that it is a statement of sexual liberation.
Obviously no one knows what they are talking about.
Streaking has no profound significance, no hidden
meanings. It is a prank—nothing more.
It is a nostalgic trip back to the 50's, when the
greatest fun in the world was pulling some amateurish
prank. You remember the 50's. There was cruising,
driving around local hangouts looking for dates:
cramming, seeing how many students could be stuffed
into a telephone booth; rolling, decorating front lawns
with rolls of toilet paper; and mooning, riding around
with a bare behind sticking out of a car window.
It is an unconscious retreat from the 60's, when the
only fun on campus was protesting the Vietnam War.
You remember the 60's. There were sit-ins, occupations
of administration buildings by protesting students;
protest marches, demonstrations by college students in
front of government offices; and draft card burnings,
objections by potential drafte es to military induction.
Streaking has nothing to do with protesting.
At the University of Pennsylvania, students were
quick to announce that the "streak for impeachment"
they had talked about doing around the White House
was only an April Fool's Joke. "We were afraid we
would get into trouble, " said one student. "We do have

It is a retreat from militant protest, a revival of
innocent pranksterism. Students yearn for a simpler
world. Streaking symbolizes withdrawal, not activism. It
would be very hard to start a riot in the nude.

purpose of smoking grass is to get high,

however, that I do not believe it is the

Commentary
Aaron Controversy
Not Kuhn's Problem
The decision by the Atlanta Braves front office to
hold back Henry Aaron from a shot at the barely
immortal Babe Ruth record of 714 home runs until the
Braves open their 1974 home schedule in Atlanta
Stadium has put new life into the old game and caused
some unique controversy among baseball circles and
sports writers alike. For those of you who haven 't been
near a newspaper or television set for the past year or
so, you should know that the Braves slugger currently is
one home run shy of tying Ruth's lifetime record andtwo shy of breaking the 4 7 year old mark. Because it is

For the life of me I can 't see why so much cain is being
raised. The Braves have been in Atlanta for going on
eight seasons and the little pleasure we've had in those
long, long years has been to watch with pride and
satisfaction as Henry Louis Aaron, the Hammer, whacks
baseballs out of that lovely park in contrast to watching
other teams do ,it. Why now deprive us of the one
