Fort Lauderdale Reports
Rules For Vacationers

In a effort to avoid "unpleasantness,"
the city of Fort Lauderdale
has published a list of suggestions
and policies for vacationing
students.

1. Do not come to Fort Lauderdale
unless you definitely have a
confirmed housing reservation.
Our policies and ordinances prohibit
sleeping in cars and/or sleeping
the open. Campers or trailers
are not permitted to park on the
beach. If this type vehicle is to
be used as living quarters it must
be parked in a trailer park
specifically licensed for this purpose.

2. All the laws that govern the
conduct of the individual will be
enforced. A person must be 21
years of age in order to purchase
or consume alcohol. Persons
guilty of intoxication, (it
should be noted that drinking in
the open is not permitted) narcotics,
use of false identification,
creating unnecessary noise or any
other form of disorderly conduct
and any other unlawful act will
be arrested and prosecuted: Violations
of the traffic code will
result in apprehension and prosecution
of the offender.

3. Parents and school officials
of any and all students arrested
during this period will be officially
notified.

It is the feeling of the City
Commission, this office and all
of the City departments involved,
that if your conduct while in Fort
Lauderdale follows your personal
guidelines while on campus, that
your vacation will indeed be a
pleasant and memorable experience.
