ACFT WAS INVOLVED IN TOUCH AND GO LANDINGS WHEN IT VEERED OFF RWY AFTER LANDING, MISSOULA, MT. (.4)THE STUDENT PILOT WAS ATTEMPTING A TOUCH-AND-GO ON HIS FIRST SOLO FLIGHT.  HE STATED THAT HE TOUCHED DOWN AND WAS APPLYING POWER FOR THE TAKEOFF WHEN THE AIRPLANE TURNED TO THE LEFT.  THE PILOT APPLIED RIGHT RUDDER PRESSURE; HOWEVER, THE AIRPLANE CONTINUED TO THE LEFT.
