However, it’s an edited version with some text covered by black blocks.

Members were elected annually by Wilgenhoffers, with the “Chief” automatically serving as Vice-Primarius of the residence. Today, the committee comprises ten members elected each September to serve for a year and remains an unofficial residence committee.has periodically attempted to halt initiation rituals, including Nagligte activities.

Hool 88, a grim room with graffiti and symbols, was where the Nagligte berated the accused. Sanctions involved consuming linseed oil and bitter aloe crystals, depending on the infraction, before being released. This sense of ownership is also manifest in the fact that the members of the Wilgenhof Bond” – not the University – have secured the registration of the names “Wilgenhof”, “Willows” and “Die Plek” in their favour, states the report. “All this feeds into a profound sense that the Wilgenhof community owns the residence and that Wilgenhof is special and set apart from any other residences at the University.
