Streakers in Seguin

Streakers in Seguin
    "Streaking" became a reality in Seguin about midnight Tuesday when some 52 Texas Lutheran College students line up behind a classmate wearing a lighted miner's cap, and at a given signal, shed their shorts and dashed into the moonlight.
    All were male "show-vinists" who had been waiting around for a coed to make good her vow that she would  "streak"  before the night was over.
     When waiting became tiresome, the group, representing more than five percent of the TLC student body, took matters into their own hands and formed their own "streaking" party.
    Their lack of clothing couldn't really be called offensive because of the blinding speed of their mad dash.
    For the most part, they wore headgear and shoes for the "streak."
    An adult, reported to be a school administrator, was heard to remark: "It looks to me like they're getting a lot of good strenuous exercise!"
    The boys raced across the campus and returned, leaving a few stragglers behind who subsequently joined the group and donned their clothing.
    It has been rumored that some 50 coeds took their turn a little after midnight, but no information has been uncovered to substantiate that report.
    The latest incident of "streaking in Seguin" occurred during the noon hour Wednesday when a student dashed through the crowded college cafeteria wearing only a ski mask.
