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.
The desks are the same.
It’s your future
that will be different.
