DOUGLAS COLLEGE INTER OFFICE MEMO

To Robin Ryan DATE Mar. 11/74
FROM: John Patterson
RE INTRAMURAL STREAKING PROGRAMME

In light of the current interest in the sport of streaking, | would like
to suggest that Douglas College establish an intramural streaking programme. As

you well know, it has been difficult to get students involved in intramural sports

to date but the fantastic popularity of streaking should ensure maximum participation.

Streaking offers several advantages as an intramural sport:

1. It requires no equipment and no uniform (with the exception of running
shoes and a ski hat).

2. It requires no special facilities - streaking can be done anywhere,
anytime by anyone of any age.

- There are few, if any, rules to learn.

3

4, Any number can participate.
5 It is a coeducational sport.
6

5. Individual events are of short duration, so that other student
activities (such <s studying) are not interfered with.

7. (It is a participation sport, not a spectator sport.

I'm sure you will agree that streakina is as close to the ideal intra-
mural sport as one can get.

May | also suggest that Douglas College shift the emphasis in the sport
of streaking from quantity to quality. Thus far, the success of Streaking events
nas been measured in numbers participating but t would like to suggest that other
criteria be used. For example, how about arranging a streakers' 100 yd. dash or mil
run or some other such event? At the risk of seeming presumptious, might | further

suggest that participating streakers dye themselves blue and call themselves the

Blue Streaks. | can see the headlines now after the first intramural streaking event -

"'Bouglas College Blue Streaks Hit the Woad!!!
| hope you will find this suggestion useful and look foward to seeing such

Cheers.

@ programme established in the near future. In fact, | can barely wait!
