# The Advice Place Welfare Handbook is distributed to all new students at

# 
#   "Cocaine, (a class A drug) is a white powder derived from the Cocoa
#   plant" (page 6)

Since then I have received E-mail from a student at this University
saying that he can't see what I was complaining about, since the above
statement is grammatically correct and cocaine really does come from the
Cocoa plant.  I shall keep the twerp's name a secret, unless I decide
not to. 

By the way, another piece of well-meaning but erroneous advice reads:

  "If you need emergency dental treatment (for which you may have to pay)
   go to: 

        Edinburgh Dental Hospital 
        31 Chambers Street 
        9-11am, 2-3pm"  (page 23)

Edinburgh Dental Hospital is closed, and at no time did it make a charge
for emergency treatment.
