No more students will be enrolled because
housing for the fall semester is full, recruiting
director Kathy Baugher said.
As of May 1, all accepted students who had not
paid the deposit required for a room reservation
were put on a waiting list Cindy Henring, an
admissions and financial aid counselor, said IS
students were put on the waiting list the first
week after the deadline. The admissions office
returned 10 applications with a letter of thanks
on Friday, but with a refusal to accept the ap¬
plication.
This marks the first time in five years a waiting
list has been used.

May 1," Residence Life Director Colquitt Clark
said, “even if it means making off-campus ar¬
rangements.” In 1990, students lived in hotel
rooms for two weeks during the fall semester
before on-campus housing was arranged.
Baugher said the optimum number of students
for die freshman class is 650. Already, 737
students have paid the deposit for a room.
Usually April and May are the months for
students to cancel, Baugher said. However, the
number of cancellations and deposits are about
even.
“Throughout April housing has been consis¬
tent,” Baugher said. “But we assume cancella¬
tions will continue through the summer.”
. Housing is a problem because university policy
requires that all unmarried undergraduate stu¬
dents must live on campus, unless they obtain
special permission to live off campus through
Residence life. The Samford University Bulle¬
tin/Catalog says, “An admitted student may
