Turner anticipates roughly 5,550 retur- ning students, 700 transfer students and 1,650 freshmen. He also expects to see another 115 re-entry students—those who have dropped out of the university and re- applied for admission. An exact figure cannot be given, said c Turner, because there are always a number of "no-shows," students who were admitted to the university but decide not to take classes at JMU. This number varies each year. No problems are forseen to housing the 8,000 students, according to Len Rose, director of residence halls. . "After everything settles with the no- shows, we plan to house between 5,020 and 5.040 students," said Rose. That figure in- cludes Greek Row and Howard Johnson's Motel facilities. Rose said that transfer students often have some difficulty finding housing, usually because they wait until orientation to begin looking for a house. "What happens is several 100 students are all looking for apartments at the same time," said Rose. There is a waiting list of between 300 and 400 students for campus housing, but that list is not necessarily valid. Some students on the list find places to live and then do not notify the department that they no longer need a dormatory room.
