dan gulino #12 Zombies


Am I the only person who thinks this zombie madness going on among us is obnoxious? Earlier today I saw a kid climbing a tree by the SAC, holding his hand above his eyes, as if he was trying to see zombies approaching him from afar. As much as I would love to carry a nerf gun with me to class, I have can’t understand how campus allows this game to continue. After the Virginia Tech shootings, which was not very long ago, I feel that campus would urge students to not carry weapon replicas to class, and all over campus grounds.
Sure, one can argue that they are only nerf guns, and no real harm can be done by them. Yes, physically I do agree that a nerf gun is harmless. However, the psychological impact that carrying a “weapon” around campus is very high in my opinion. It puts students into somewhat of a gang mentality, which I feel Stony Brook would usually try get its students to avoid if possible. Also, watching students play this game all over campus makes me somewhat embarrassed to be a student here at Stony Brook. Can’t everyone just grow up, get a girlfriend and put the nerf guns down? Middle School is over people, these are your college days.
