KTRU Tuesdays: Streaking

On the 1974 News Master 4, there are two brief stories about the changing sexual mores at Rice University. The first is an academic take, while the second is about planning a streak-off with the University of Houston.

Streaking has not disappeared from campus. A form of streaking lives on at Rice under the name Baker 13.

Read more about Rice's obsession with streaking in 1974.

Ran Baker 13 for the first time, now it's crossed off the Rice senior bucket list. No regrets!

It's 9:33 pm, everyone's in position, balloons, hoses, and trashcans are at the ready, less than 15 min to go, there's a megaphone alarm going off that might be the signal that they're coming

Oct 31, 2013: Baker 13

I didn't go trick or treating, but I got to participate in one of Rice's finest traditions: Baker 13.

200 students running around campus wearing only shaving cream. Pelleted with water balloons by "defenders", as we attempt to leave shaving cream prints on their college.  Needless to say my lower part has never felt so much liberty and breaze before.
