What I could discern from the Westminster College Student Government Association's page on Volley Rock is that the event is a volleyball tournament and a concert. Sounds like it may have been fun.

My guess is that the volley and the rocking occur around the end of a term to allow the students to unwind from their scholastics. I can only wonder about the quality of the play and the sound of the tunes of this or any other year.

I went to two different universities. One had an end of the term celebration and the other one doubtfully ever will have such celebrations. I found that I did not miss the celebrations because I usually had better things to do with people I knew and liked instead of what was planned to occur.

I did get to see the Roots on their Things Fall Apart tour at the Kent State Flash Fest for free because of this. I am glad to have seen them live before they started their sharp decline into garbage. It is amazing how quickly money changed their drive.

Student government associations, in my experience, tend to be nothing other than some kids working for their egos and a checkmark on a future resume. One rare exception was when the SGA at my university secured student workers a nice enough of a raise. Otherwise, it seemed to be a social club for overachievers both actual and attempting. I suppose the participants see it as a power vacuum to fill. Sad, that for the most part, the associations have no real power other than persuasion.

Yet that rationalization would never stop the student government association candidates from trying to get my vote. I do not understand why the candidates would waste their time talking to me when I would tell them that I did not believe in the body in which they were trying to be elected. Seriously, solicitation only angers the disassociated.
