Another (Bonus) Go-Wrong

There will be lots of ways to earn money with your Harvard diplomas. One grad received $150 for appearing in an ad showing the damage caused by using too much speed-methedrine, benzedrine, and dexedrine.

The National Institute of Mental Health sponsored the ad, which appeared in several campus newspapers, including the CRIMSON.

The ad said that the haggard man pictured was a 21-year-old strung out on speed. "Most people take him for about 35," the ad said.

Theodore T. Daniels '61 was 30 years old when the photograph was taken a few months ago. Daniels is an actor living in New York. He wore makeup for the photo.

Daniels wrote the CRIMSON a letter thanking the paper for belatedly recognizing his 21st birthday. He said he has never taken speed in any form although he does smoke grass occasionally. Daniels added that he is personally against the use of speed.
