Mark Yarbrough, 18, ofEastaboga, Ala., was moved from the coronary care unit of a city hospital by mid-day Sunday to a regular room. He was listed in good condi tion Monday and was expected to remain in the hospital until Wednesday. “This is the most remarkable thing you’ve ever seen,” said Dr. William J. Pitts. “He is sitting up in his bed and he’s as bright-eyed as he can be. He is out of the woods and over it.” Yarbrough was bitten Saturday by a cobra while help ing his father at their rural home, about 50 miles east of Birmingham. Pitts said at one point Yarbrough was almost completely paralyzed by the snake’s venom — capable of only wiggling his toes to respond to questions by doctors. “I got in a big hurry because I wanted to watch the Alabama football game on television,” the high school senior said Sunday, smiling and sitting up in his hospital bed. “I’m a big Alabama fan and I wanted to see the game. I didn’t find out until today that Notre Dame Snake experts responded immediately to plight. The Atlanta zoo rushed a shipment ofanthesJ By There s a to Birmingham by jet.

The l* immediate, positive response prompted doctors tsi cide against the transfusion. “This looks like a normal 18-year-old boy,” Pitts a; “There is no loss of tissue. He is shaking hands witf left hand because his right one is still swollen. Bntjn better watch out he’s so strong he’ll mash yoi Yarbrough said he was moving the Siamese dr also known as a Naja Kauphia, from one when he was bitten. “I think it gave me some respect for the snakes, m Yarbrough. “Next time, I won’t be as careless »it them. I wasn’t worried. Ijust waswonderinghowtil bite it was. It didn’t hurt. I never felt like I wasgoie die.” Thomas Yarbrough, the boy’s father whose businesi giving educational programs on the 450 poisonous® non-poisonous snakes he keeps in cages in said he knew his son would pull through they survive ter to put oi formances o * of foh the A iied to tie A tory slipped Quill maker carves history final 6 The turn; character w the face of, Wilson who smile about weeks, pei looked ge pleased by h he held his ters. “It’s the United Press International CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Lewis Glaser recre ates a small piece of history with each stroke of his penknife, carving a product presented to notables rang ing from Supreme Court justices to Leonid Brezhnev. Although he bluntly maintains his work has no rela tion to art, Glaser, 82, makes something once consi dered essential by the Shakespeares and the Beeth ovens of the world — quill pens. “The hell with the money,” said the craftsman. “I work seven days a week. When you have time to worry about things and have nothing to do, you start getting aches and pains.” Big green bags of goose feathers are piled in the corners of his studio, flanked by tables stacked with elaborately decorated boxes that contain the finished product. “You can make pens from swan or turkey feathers. But the most desirable one comes from a goose,” he said, citing size, resiliency and tradition as the reasons he works only with goose quills. “I have to import the feathers from Czechoslovakia, ” he said. “The average person (who raises geese) in the United States has a flock of only 10 or 12 geese. They’re not popular for eating in this country, maybe because goose is all dark meat.” Since a chance encounter with Mamie Eisenhowi the 1950s, Glaser has parlayed what was ahobb thriving enterprise. She heard through mutualM that Glaser carved quill pens and mentioned it to It husband. President Eisenhower’s aides promptly sumnd Glaser to the White House to present the president^ a set. The ceremony was covered by reporters audti/ resulting publicity launched Glaser, a former advei ing executive, into a second career. “I’ve gotten orders from all over the world,”heal "I don’t have to advertise because word gets arounl 1 Glaser’s business received an additional boost do the U.S. Supreme Court commissioned him in carry on a tradition dating back two centuries—pr» tation of quill pens to lawyers who argue before thekj court. Carving each nib in less than 15 seconds, Gte estimates he produces about 50,000 pens each year,! Supreme Court places an annual order for 1 “ them. “These pens have an awful lot to do with Amerisi history,” Glaser said. “Thomas Jefferson usedthemiii so did a lot of the other Virginians who helped foundth country.” ATTENTION OFF CAMPUS STUDENTS OFF CAMPUS STUDENTS MAY PURCHASE BOARD DINING FOR THE SPRING SEMESTER.
