DMA* i I ■ James Madison University Monday, March 24, 1986 Vol. 63 No. 43 Housing goes through changes By Mark Miller news editor \ There will be many changes in campus housing this year, and the office of residence life is ex- ploring ways to make room signups as fair as possible.

Sometimes upperclassmen cannot live in the hall they would like because during in- hall sign-ups, some roommates split up to pull in two underclassmen and then switch rooms in the fall. "We need to talk about the problem, because it's very im- portant to those, people af- fected. We want to get an idea of how we can address it." Bolding said he encourages Staff photo by Ming Laong students' comments or sugges- tions about pulling in. JMU fans cheer for the Dukes in their 72-51 loss to Western Kentucky in the NCAAs.
