In 1974 Walter Cronkite designated Knoxville as the "Streaking Capital of the World." It was in the spring of that year that an estimated 5,000 people on Cumberland Avenue took their clothes off... stripping on the "strip".

Not only that a few businesses offered free drinks, food, etc. to any female students who streaked. There were also, ahem, makeout sessions and public sex acts between students. It was wild as hell but hardly the only time UT has been wild.

Debauchery on a grand scale is how the Strip got its name.
