Trouble
Bad Scene Before the Opera
An agreement made two
years ago to host the state
Georgia Music Teacher’s
Association (GMTA) meeting
last week on campus led to
confusion and trouble last
Thursday at the ‘‘Trouble in
Tahiti” performance during
which three students held a
mini-protest.
The three students, who were
only a fragment of the total
number, were upset because
they felt they were being
refused admission to a college
function so that members of the
GMTA could attend.
‘‘For the performance, there
were 70-80 seats available for
everyone, and it was my
decision initially to reserve a
certain number of seats for
GMTA because we were
committed to this,” said Dr.
Robert Coe, chairman of the
Fine Arts department. About 30
to 40 were reserved and the rest
were available to the students.
These were available on the

The three students
barricaded the door to the
auditorium protesting that
GMTA members were given
priority for seating
arrangements.
The three refused to leave
their positions in front of the
door but were finally persuaded
to leave by President Ward
Pafford.
Many students said later that
a special performance for the
GMTA should have been held,
avoiding the conflict. However,
according to Dr. Coe, the
Thursday night production had
been planned as a special event
for two years.
“We have known for two
years that we would be hosting
the GMTA conference, and, as
the host, we knew we would
have to present an opening
night performance Thursday.
This was the ‘Trouble in Tahiti’
production,” Dr. Coe said.
The professor said that some
students were confused because
Problem Solving
Smith Planning Student Forum
Charles Smith, assistant dean
of student services, is an
ticipating favorable response to
the latest attempt by the ad
ministration to deal openly with
campus problems. The idea, he
said, is to create a forum of
campus organizations to handle
possible troubles in the com
munity.
The forum, according to
Smith, ‘‘will contribute sub
stantially to identifying and
solving problems and creating
an overall atmosphere of
community cooperation ”
The initial organizational
meeting is scheduled to be held
Thursday at 7:30 p.m.’ in
meeting room two of the student
center. Further meetings will
be held later in the quarter,
contingent on any desire and
need for them expressed by the
student leaders. Lamar
Chambers, president of the
Student Government
Association, will serve as
moderator during all forum
discussions.
Smith said, “Since most
students on campus belong to
one organization or another, it
seems possible to create a flow
of information through these
organizations and their
leadership.” He added that it
will serve “as an organized,
representative, student ad
visory body.” Each campus
no seats for the Thursday night
production were available prior
to the performance. This was
done, he said, because the fine
arts department first had to see
how many GMTA members
would be attending the play.
Dr. Coe said that the first
responsibility was felt for the
convention because it had been
planned for two years and the
performance had been
regarded as a special
production for the GMTA
members.
