weather to continue into the
weekend, although the National
Weather Service said there is a
chance a new cool front might
bring scattered showers by
Saturday and slightly cooler
weather on Sunday
It was clear to partly cloudy
and warm across Texas today
except for near the coast, where
there were low clouds and some
fog in early morning.
A weak cool front remained at
a standstill across the state's
midsection for a second straight
day, stretching along a line from
near Lake Texoma through the
central part of the state to the
Pecos River Valley.

in Evanston. Ill., about 120
male streakers paraded along a
four-lane road early this morn-
ing. One source said police
closed the street to traffic for
about 45 minutes, but author-
ities denied that they had taken
any action at all.
Other nude runners were re-
ported at Eastern Illinois Uni-
versity in Charleston, where the
campus paper urged students to
"be chic and streak;” at
Northern Illinois in DeKalb, and
at Parks College of Aero
Technology in Cahokia, which
claimed 300 streakers at one
time.
The fun in Oklahoma was
marred by the accident.
The New Yorkers- 45 men
and a lone coed—claimed a
record for the length of their
streak, a sprint of a mile and a
half that started at about 11
pm They were accompanied
by a 16-piece university band
and cheered on by about 1,000
supporters.
Across the country, small
groups of students from the
University of Washington
braved the cold to streak past a
row of fraternity and sorority
houses near the campus
Among the stars: a streaker

Streaking spread to the
streets of New York overnight
as a group of big city students
dashed nude across the Colum-
bia University campus, follow-
ing a trail blazed by .collegians
elsewhere.
The fad has led to scattered
arrests-mostly for indecent
exposure. An Oklahoma
streaker was critically injured
when the motorcycle he was
riding crashed into a car.
On the whole, however, the
streaking syndrome has caused
few problems. Authorities gen-
erally take a lenient attitude as
long as the streakers stay on
campus and don't interfere with
anyone else
