The Student Councils of the Classes of 2026 and 2027 teamed up to rent out Coney Island last Thursday! For one night and one night only, 21 and 22-year olds who go to Columbia University will be able to enjoy the park in peace.
One council member, Davis Seeflies (CC ‘27), had the idea for the event after a sour experience there two weekends ago. “A deviant crew of misfit kids, probably between the ages of 7 and 12 years old, stole the stuffed animal that I won playing Whac-A-Mole. When I yelled at them that I won it fair and square, they just ran away, giggling to themselves like kids in a candy store. Coney Island feels very immature these days,” the council member told us.
Seeflies warned that they are expecting a harsh, and perhaps violent response from the children who will be denied access to the park on Thursday evening. However, he assured that the council is “working with Public Safety to assure that we have all the necessary materials to suppress any kind of resistance from these little rabble-rousers.”
