Narrative:

Was cleared by grr approach control for visual approach to runway 18. At PM54 was handed off to tower control and was cleared to land runway 18. There was traffic in a left hand pattern for runway 8L doing takeoffs and lndgs. Student was cleared to land runway 8L, but did a touch and go landing instead of a full stop. When my aircraft on runway 18 approach was #1, I was instructed by the tower controller to 'go around.' a go around was executed and was instructed by the tower controller to make right traffic for runway 8R. Conflict aircraft passed approximately 50-60 ft below my aircraft. There seemed to be a communication problem between the student pilot and tower controller on exactly what he was supposed to do.
