BECOMING A CRIMINAL..

And now a word about crimes you might feel like committing.

• The word here, a contraction, is "don't". Though we all have the best intentions toward you, there is very little that the University or the State Department can do for you if you land in jail in a foreign country. Generally speaking, it is not difficult to stay out of jail. You simply have to refrain from mischief, avoid political demonstrations (as an active participant), and obey the laws of the land. We want especially to warn you about drugs and to urge you to have nothing to do with them. While some countries are very lenient about drug possession and commerce, others are very much the opposite. And since drug laws even in the lenient countries are complicated, we suggest that you conduct yourself at all times and in all places with great circumspection. We cannot state this too strongly. Using, possessing, or selling drugs in a foreign country is a highly dangerous game to play. If you are in the habit of using controlled substances, we suggest that you renounce this habit while you are abroad (and perhaps forevermore).
