| A lone male student wearing only a ski mask, shoes, and
socks ran in 58-degree weather from Thach Avenue to an awaiting car in
front of Commons at 10:10 a.m. on February 15, 1974--Auburn's first streaker.
Within days, there were singles and groups of streakers at Auburn, and
it became almost ho-hum until the night shown here. A member of the
University Disciplinary Committee said the coed "was an attractive woman
of great modesty and found it impossible to say she was naked." She
was quoted as saying, "A large crowd had gathered on the Social Center
lawn and on the Concourse, and I was just there with the crowd. I
had no intention of doing anything, but I suddenly found myself taking
my clothes off. I took all of my clothes off!" She was placed
on probation for a year. Note the expressions on the faces of Mike
Cooper, right and other male students. The authors selected this
shot knowing full-well they would be criticized by some for printing the
picture at all and by others for printing it too small. -- Copyright Dan
