Tom Ferry wants to thank
| ihe friends he can't see.
The   blind   sophomore,-   whose
I manifold difficulties  brought
I pledges of friendship and  dona-
I lions   totaling   over   $150   from
li sT students last-week, isn't able
L„ thank  his classmates  in  pern-
He's  in- St.  Mary's  Hospital
undergoing   treatment   for  an
| arthritic knee condition.
This new  blow  is but one of
nJny the plucky prelaw student
■ias undergone recently. His see-
In:: eye dog, frightened  by construction   noises   about   campus,
has turned shy and must be sent
a ranch for re-education.
"She almost pulled  me into
a ' ■"' the other day when shoot
ing was going on  in  the rifle
range," he said.
Besides Ferry's dog, his knee
is giving him trouble. He was
unable to walk from his rooming
house on Cole street to the campus last week, and missed classes
—and food. He normally eats at
Phelan Hall but was unable to
leave his rented room: "I had to
get along with whatever food I
could dig up," he said.
Most of Ferry's readers are
girls, whp cannoteomedowntothe
all-male boarding house to read
to him. His long hospital stay,
which began Friday, has cut ■
further into his limited study opportunities.
Mid-terms begin next week,
but Ferry hopes to take most of
them delayed. "I just can't study
in   the   hospital,"  he  said.   "I'm

an artificial blind eye
either all doped up from tests or
whenever anyone starts to read
to me some nurse conies along to
stick a thermometer in my
mouth."
But the blind student's biggest concern is for his friends
at USF. "I'm sorry I let them
down, geting in he hospital like
this," he said. "I hope to get
out real soon and get back on
the job."
Dr. J. Anderson, St. Mary's
physician, said last night that
"Ferry will "most probably" be
released by the end of the week.
Ferry has immediate plans for
the money his USF friends supplied through the FOGHORN
fund drive. "I'm going to get
my teeth fixed," he said. "There's
clinics that will take you but
you need cash to get in them —
I never had  that before."
His teeth are in a state of decay   from  years  of   manutiition.
"I haven't been able to go to the
dentist  for  nine years," he said.
The    sophomore,    who    has
been   blind   since   he  was   five
years  old,  has  one  more  plan
for the  money — he wants to
buy  an   artificial  eye.
"It  improves my appearance,"
Ferry said. "1  used to have one
in     high     school,     but     people
thought 1 was faking being blind
and would pick fights with me."
Ferry has trouble sleeping  in
the   hospital.   His  hearing  sense
is so  acute  that  all  the  normal
hospital noises are magnified to
him and  interrupt his rest. "But
I like it here for one reason." he
said  with a  grin, "the  food's  so
much better than Phelan Hall."
