May Day (Washington College)

[1] Each year, on the nights of April 30 and May 1, students from the college run naked around the flag pole on the campus green.

[4] In the 1970s, a case of beer was given to the first male and female students to walk into the liquor store across the street naked.

[3] One student, Peter "Miami" Abronski, was arrested in 1978 for indecent exposure and disturbing the peace.

[7] In recent years, the student body have toned down the celebration, partly owing to the introduction of camera phones and the Internet.

[2] The school discourages nude May Day celebrations, but its public safety officers are on duty for the event.
