As if ... web site gives streakers exposure

Every organization seeks, well, exposure.

So it figures that the streakers from Hamilton College who bared all at Union's Homecoming on Oct. 1 have a web site: www.hamiltonstreaks.com.

According to the site, the Union appearance was the season debut for the Hamilton College Varsity Streaking Team, which is not listed among the College's athletic programs. The team's fall schedule began Sept. 10 at Colgate with a "scrimmage," whatever that means.

The site features a journal from runs at 12 colleges between Oct. 1 and 5, photos, a short film and a call for more photos. It details several detainments by campus security officers, a few run-ins with campus tour groups and a highlight at Middlebury, where the hosts joined the visitors for a jaunt through a dining hall.

The team made appearances at all NESCAC schools and a few other close associates such as Union and Wellesley, according to a press clip on the site from the Hamilton Spectator.

"We mean no disrespect," says one organizer. "We wish only to illuminate, to dazzle, to amuse and astonish. And, of course, streaking is wicked fun."
