No end seems in sight. Student organizers at several universities were rounding up participants for an assault on the largest streaking record (see box). At Stanford University, preparations were being made for the longest streak, an 18-mile jaunt between Palo Alto and San Jose. At the University of Pennsylvania, students staged an undressed rehearsal for a fanciful "streak for impeachment" around the White House. Even President Nixon got into the spirit of things: when Reporter Sarah McClendon commented that his hair was graying at the temples, Nixon quipped, "They call that streaking."
It was all too much for members of the Seminole Health Club, a nudist colony in Davie, Fla. "We can't understand what the fuss is all about," said one. "Why don't they go nude all the time?" In protest, the members staged a "Gnikaerts" ("streaking" spelled backward) and raced round town fully clothed.
