So last night I got word from someone that the Mifflin Streak would be happening, and I should probably get down there to cover it for the blog. But I, ahem, had some other plans for the evening, so .... Anyway, it shouldn't be shocking to anyone that at least seven people were arrested for Open Lewdness/Disorderly Conduct. I mean this thing has been happening for over 30 years and people seem to get arrested every year. Because we can't have naked people running around this campus. I'm not sure why we can't, but obviously we can't.

I got my hands on a copy of the Penn State University police report, which details exactly what went down last night/this morning. Reading over it you know that the police were probably tipped off that the streak was going to be happening. As the report reads, at 11:33 last night, "University Police personnel monitored a large crowd along Mifflin Road." Hmm, wonder why?

Then, from 12:13am to 12:58am six guys and one girl were charged with open lewdness (which btw is a sex crime. Pretty messed up huh?). A couple of the reports that stand out are the guy who "fought with several officers when they attempted to arrest him" and was also charged with resisting arrest, and the "nude male exposing himself in a window at Mifflin Hall." Fantastic!

Clearly this is a tradition that must be upheld. It's as much of a tradition at Penn State as THON (at least that's what Urban Dictionary says). So hopefully Safeguard Old State helps get on board to protect it. Come on Tom Shakley, this is obviously more important than State Patty's Day!

Oh, and if you have any pictures, get them to me ASAP!
