Why does the man mention that he is a new student at the school?

W: I’m sorry, But I can’t let you check out these books.
M: What do you mean?
W: Well, the computer shows you have an overdue book, art book and your circulation perpetuity is revoked until you return it.
M: (l)But that’s impossible. I only started going to this school last month and I’m a business major, not an artist.
W: Um. This is pretty strange. Let me look up the records.
M: OK.
W: You are Robert Smith?
M: Yeah.
W: You live at forty twenty-three western.
M: No, I am living on campus, in the new...
W: You did say you are Robert Smith, right?

M: No, but I think I could probably try.
