The LAW Streaker Madness (CPS)—Despite claims that streaking is merely fun and games, police and university authorities across the country have reacted in a very negative manner to streakers. Although streakers interviewed at most schools expressed a desire to let off steam or have fun in an absurd manner as the reason for for the streaks, most police have taken a hardline approach by ar resting and handcuffing all the streakers and bystanders they were able to catch. A survey of events at just 45 colleges and universities showed 94 arrests of students for streak ing or participating in the general melee that has accompanied most streaks, an indication that the total number of streaker arrests nation wide may be in the hundreds. Most of the arrests were on a brabbag of local ordinance vio lations; disorderly conduct, public indency, indecent exposure, indecent behavior, lewd behavior, and disturbing the peace. The largest number of arrests seemed to occur on the evening of March 7, when mild weather conditions promoted streaking throughout the country. At the University of Colorado/ Boulder and the University of Texas at Austin, campus police have taken photographs of streak ers and crowds, with the expressed intent of later matching the photos to student ID records. Any pos itive identifications will result in arrests, police have promised. In dozens of other news stories, police and local authorities pro mised arrests and resulting police records for streakers, while uni versity officials threatened sus pension or probation. Obviously, such threats had little effect on the fad, but arrests occurred and streaker crowds engaged in major confrontations with police of ficials at several schools. The worst confrontation came at the University of Georgia at Athens, during the establishment of the still-standing record for number of streakers, estimated at between 1000 and 15000. Prior to the streak student leaders had met with Athens police, at which time Public Safety Di rector Edward Kassinger said he was going to gather information in case it was requested by a grand jury, but that he would not initiate action against any streakers. When the streak took place, however, police began making arrests, which allegedly involved some streakecs being dragged along the ground by police. The crowd, angered by the bru tality of such actions, became un ruly, and police attempted to break up the estimated crowd of 12,000 by driving patrol cars through the mass of students. When this tactic failed, police fired tear gas which affected approximately two thousand of the bystanders, including some students who were trying to dis perse the crowd. Following the tear gassing, the crowd broke up, but not before police had made at least 17 arrests. At the University of Delaware in Newark, nearly 500 persons, many of them intoxicated patrons of a large local bar, blocked a street during streaking festiv ities, and began throwing rocks and beer bottles at any cars that tried to appoach the crowd. After several police units on the scene were surrounded by rioters and an estimated crowd of three to four thousand, local police called in county and state police. Eventually over 200 police came to the scene and fired tear gas, until the crowd broke up. The day after the incident, the Newark City Council passed an ordinance empowering the major to ban liquor sales and declare an evening curfew for 30 days. At the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, a crowd of 4000 spectators caused an estimated $1000 property damage for un known reasons before police broke it up. Firecrackers and missiles such as burning paper, broken glass, rocks, cans and water balloons have been reported as streaks where police-student confron tation did not escalate. S\ John Christ Theatre workshop at MHC — only one approved in North Carolina for Teachers The Theatre Arts Department of Mars Hill College will offer a two week workshop this summer which will be the only such the ater program in the state to carry approval by the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction for teacher training. Until the Fall of 1972, the N. C. Depart ment did not offer certification to drama teachers; consequently, while there has been a great deal of activity in high school theatre, virtually all of it has been directed to teachers who have not been trained in theatre arts. * The Mars Hill College work shop was designed to help im prove the quality of theatre arts instruction in high schools. The workshop, which will start on June 24, and last until July 5, will consist of two three-hour sessions each day. The first session will last from 9 a.m. until noon, and the second session will be held from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. in the afternoon. The course will carry four semester hours of credit. Work in the program will largely be organized around the needs of the partiepants. Possible topics include; problems involved in simplified production techniques on a limited budget; directing principles and problems; basic principles of stage lighting; stage make-up; and problems of play selection. Generally, one session each day will be concerned with design and other technical problems, with principles and techniques re lated to play directing and actor training discussed in the other session. The agendas may also include observation of high school theatre classes and field trips to play performances in the area. Enrollment is limited, however, and those interested in the class should get in touch with Dr. John Hough, Director of the Summer School, Mars Hill College.
