The University of California at Los Angeles is engaged in a massive coverup. Officials there, citing safety concerns, have declared an end to the Undie Run, in which thousands of students dash across the campus in their skivvies.
A handful of students started the Undie Run in 2002 as a way to release stress during finals, but the celebration — which took place three times a year — has grown to as many as 10,000 people, many of them not students. People drank too much, fights broke out, someone got robbed, skin was bared.
No more, say administrators. The next run would have taken place in December. But some traditions die hard. Is UCLA prepared to crack down in order to get students to zip up?

We didn’t have the drinking and fights, etc. but when I was a freshman in college in 1973 at Morehead State University (Kentucky) we did have a few streakers. It is one of those things I’ll never forget.
