Visitors infest college By James Rhoades Of Thè Print Venomous snakes, taran tulas and scorpions infested the College last Wednesday when University of Idaho venom researcher Darwin Vest brought his fearsome en tourage of creatures.on campus for a mini-program in the Fireside Lounge. Vest brought with him a cobra(which has enough venom to kill 15 men), and several varities of rattlesnakes, two of which are found in Oregon. The snakes were not defanged in any way. “I’ve been handling the snakes for 12 years, ” Vest said. “I’ve been bit very, very rarely, maybe six or seven times in that period. I have never spent a day in the hospital from a snake bite. The last serious bite I had was in 1972 from an Asiatic cobra.” Vest, besides doing research on venomous snakes, also gives many lectures. “Recently I haven’t been giving too many. I’ve been busy with research and other projects,” he said, “but I have given lectures to as many as 60 to 70 universities a year,” Vest also lectured some Alternative fundin topic of meeting Alternatives concerning the future of the John Inskeep En vironmental Learning Center at the College, following elimination of CETA (Com prehensive Education and Training Act) funds was a topic of an advisory committee meeting for the center, last week. Pending elimination of the temporary CETA funding that the center has enjoyed since it’s birth, prompted discussion on alternative funding sources and Darwin Vest shows no sign of fear as he takes ahold of one of the venomous snakes that accompanied him to the college campus last week.
