While traveling away from home during spring break, many students think that they are invincible and that no harm can come to them. But rules concerning alcohol, drugs, and indecent behavior still exist and can be even more crucial while away from home. Students can get away, have fun and relax on spring break, but they should also be aware of the risks that can accompany their good time. The issue of spring break safety is one that Secretary of State Madeline Albright has stressed recently. Albright has sent a national message to students listing the "hard facts" about travelling abroad. The State. Department wants students to act responsibly when traveling, since many have served time in foreign jails or been detained to await trial because they were unaware of the risks of using or possessing drugs while in other countries. According to Albright's press release, more than 2,500 Americans are arrested on spring break each year, usually on drug charges involving very small amounts of substances, most often marijuana. Even minuscule amounts of drugs could e have a student tried as a trafficker. The legality of a drug in one country may not be the same in another country, and not being aware of the laws in a given country is not an excuse. Another common problem during spring break is that many Americans believe they can escape punishment because they wear the United States citizen label. The truth is that just because certain behavior, like getting drunk, is often accepted in the United States doesn't mean it is allowed in other countries. It is essential that students do research on the basic laws of the country to which they are traveling, or they could end up in jail, she said. large-scal- The New Hampshire (U-wir- e) Quote of the Day for me, I'd rather save the $3.08 for the eight kids I plan on having when it's a little Harvard Tuition Reaches announced the University would also increase the payout from its Harvard's tuition will increase for 0 the school year, rising by 3.3 percent to $32,164, which includes room and board. The percentage increase is the smallest it has been since 1968, besting last year's 3.5 percent rise. This is the eighth year in a row the rate of tuition growth has diminished. In the last 20 years, the average rate of increase has hovered around 8 percent. Dean of the Faculty Jeremy R. Knowles yesterday emphasized the college's continued commitment to meeting the financial needs of accepted students. "The vitality of our institution as well as the quality of our students requires that Harvard be affordable for families of all income levels," Knowles wrote in a statement. "We arc absolutely committed to d admissions and to conour costs, now and in the straining future," he wrote. In Knowles September, announced a $9 million increase in Harvard's financial aid budget, which resulted in an additional $2,000 for each student receiving financial aid. In December, it was 1999-200- more than $12 billion dollar endowment by 28 percent. Financial aid officials reiterated their commitment to meeting the needs of students, acknowledging that any increase in the cost of tuition affects the number who apply for aid and the amount of need students have. "In my 18 years here, Harvard has found the money to make packages that will ensure that students will choose to attend Harvard," said Associate Director of Financial Aid David P. Illingworth. The College's increase compares favorably with peer institutions, although it is higher than the current rate of inflation. has Princeton University announced a 3.4 percent increase in its tuition and fees for next year, bringing their total costs including "miscellaneous expenses" to need-blin- more economically practical for me ." $3,ooo $34,180.
