GMC Says Streakers Are A Sign Of Freedom

A group of about a half dozen streakers made the unassuming audience chuckle and gasp as they whisked their naked bodies across the front the stage after the last Bachelor of arts degree was given Saturday afternoon and President Paul Fonteyn shook the last student’s hand.

The shocking moment lasted no more than 30 seconds as the group of students, some with painted green letters on their backs and faces hidden by masks or bandanas, ran in front of the graduates and then out behind the stage.

Later, two of the streakers were seen clothed, returning into the crowd, as if nothing happened. The only sign of their mischief was peeking out of the back of their black dresses — peeling green paint at the base of their necks.

Coburn, who did not see the streaking, said he did not believe any disciplinary action would be taken by the school nor criminal charges filed.
