Tom Ferry thanks friends he can't see By WARREN HINCKLE I IK IIIIKV 1,1.1... 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 TOM FERRY 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." san CRAncisco foghotm OL. 51.
