I discuss a survey of X-ray sources in regions of star formation. The survey has revealed at least 30 low mass PMS, naked T Tauri stars (NTTS) in Tau-Aur, and a comparable number in Oph. I summarize the properties of these stars, and argue that the spectra of the classical T Tauri stars are due to the interaction of an underlying NTTS with a dominant circumstellar environment. I discuss the impact the NTTS are likely to have on our understanding of the PMS evolution of low mass stars.
