Show Spring Quarter not only inspired students to take fewer classes and spend more time in the out-of-doors, but it also drove streakers to make their debuts in the dormitories, parking lots, and Union Buildings of campuses across the nation. The first pre-season occurrence of streaking at Weber occurred during a snowstorm in early February. A male dormitory student, clad only in boots, ski goggles, and a watch, ran from Promontory Tower to Dee's on Harrison Boulevard and back. March brought with it not only winds, but also an intensive outbreak of streaking that lasted two weeks. Nightly streakings were reported at the dormitories, with daily occurrences in the Union Building and at Promontory Tower Cafeteria. The streakers were hearlded with shouts of surprise and laughter, promoting a special kind of spring fever.

Baseball at Weber State was off to an early start as sixteen returning lettermen and nineteen other players showed up for fall practice at John Affleck Park. The Wildcat team began with the idea of repeating their 1968, 1970, and 1972 performances by capturing the Big Sky Conference Championship again this year. New faces at later indoor practices included right-handed pitcher Jim Tillotson, all-stater from Viewmont High School, with Dave Day, Craig Clayson, and Dean Miller returning to lead the mound staff. Ross Caputo, Dave Hoch, Brad Hawkins, and John Edwards, all hitting above a .300 average, come back to strengthen the Wildcat team.
