ÍÍ This is the music, speech, and theater department We have the right to jam here. Kimberly Hockemeyer Clackamas Student Many of the music students feel that they have a right to Niemeyer and the right to sing, play guitar and talk in the center. “All of us that were there were music majors,” said Tyler Stratton, who said he was not kicked out of Niemeyer but told to quiet down. Stratton said he feels that the music majors have a right to hang out in Niemeyer and play music to express their thoughts and feelings through song. He said being told to be quiet felt like Mills was “squash ing our creativity.” One of Mills’ reasons for asking the students to be quiet was because classes were happening at the same time, according to Stratton. “When his class is going on we should be more quiet but, if you need a quiet class, close the door,” said Stratton. Jennifer Schwartzman, who works in the communications and theater arts department, said that she had not heard of students getting kicked out of Niemeyer. “There are no rules,” she said. “If you are a stu dent or have business at the college you are welcome to hang out here.” She said students have been asked to leave before but that was because of them being overly dis ruptive, such as playing football. She also said that she has had to ask students to stop singing in the gallery because they were being too loud. However, she said that as long as the noise level is not out of con trol, students are allowed to sing, play guitar and express themselves through music in Niemeyer. The room is the same.
