I this phoned the Office of the Registrar to find out exactly what meant. A kind lady read to me from a paper which "The tie that binds since 1926" said thatI must withdraw from Honours Psychology and that I could remain in Honours Anthropology on academ- ic probation.
I explained to her that I had already withdrawn from Honours months beforehand, but apparently there is

When I received my second registration form, I noticed a comment at the bottom stating that I had not yet met
