I know that many of the intro textbooks I have perused have mentioned Andrew
Martinez for breaking the norm of wearing clothing to class. One of my

'Naked Guy' ex-student dies in jail
Berkeley nudist was in custody on assault, battery charges
Saturday, May 20, 2006; Posted: 3:39 p.m. EDT (19:39 GMT)
SAN JOSE, California (AP) -- The former college student known as the "Naked
Guy," who gained notoriety in the early 1990s for attending class in the buff,
has died in jail, authorities said.
Andrew Martinez, 33, whose stripped-down strolls at the University of
California, Berkeley, got him expelled and prompted the city to adopt a strict
anti-nudity ordinance, was found unconscious Thursday in a Santa Clara County
jail, said jail spokesman Mark Cursi.
Officials are investigating the death as an apparent suicide.
He had been in custody since January 10 on charges of battery and assault with a
deadly weapon, authorities said.
In 1992, Martinez organized a "Nude-In" protest at the university. He said he
was trying to make a point about free expression.
The message caught on, and nude spottings spiked on campus. Martinez, who landed
on national talk shows, was expelled the next year after the university banned
nudity.
