Paula Ensor is 20, and like many other South African girls of her age, is thinking of getting married. This is not as easy as it sounds, because Miss Ensor is one of eight student leaders who have been banned by the Vorster Government under the Suppression of Communism Act.

Up to the time of her banning she was vice-president of the National Union of South African Students.

She is now prohibited from any further participation in the union's affairs, but that is not all.

Miss Ensor's banning notice also says she must not attend any social gatherings, and a social gathering, in the opinion of some eminent legal writers, is two persons.
