# 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

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.
