Will explain what's up with these grip and grins next week.  Just keep these
and the cutline info for our permanent files.


U.S. Reps. David Price, right, and Bob Etheridge, left, talk with Chancellor
James Moeser, center, during a briefing for the Tar Heel Congressional
delegation about Carolina's proposed Morehead Science Discovery and Outreach
Center July 10 at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C.

Below, Walter Bollenbacher, biology professor, Betty Brown, science
education coordinator, and Eric Brown, operations manager, pose with the
U.S. Capitol as a backdrop with Destiny, the university's traveling science
laboratory. Destiny was in Washington for the Morehead Center presentation.

Price announced that Carolina would receive a $1.5 million appropriation for
the proposed center under a fiscal 2002 spending bill approved by a House
appropriations subcommittee that funds the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA). Price is a member of the subcommittee. That
recommendation now goes to the full appropriations committee as part of the
Congressional budget process.

Destiny, a key component of the outreach strategy for the Morehead Center,
attracted members of the N.C. delegation and their staffs for tours during
its D.C. stop. The science bus aims to increase student access to modern-day
science and information technology learning, especially in underserved and
rural areas.

Building on the long tradition of science education and outreach at the
Morehead Planetarium, the planned Morehead Center will feature
state-of-the-art technology, an unwavering commitment to discovery and the
groundbreaking work of Carolina researchers in an engaging environment that
allows the general public, especially children, to directly experience the
wonder of science. A steering committee chaired by Holden Thorp, professor
of chemistry, is seeking a combination of private and public funds to launch
the center. Among other Carolina officials joining Thorp and Bollenbacher in
Washington to promote the center was Richard Superfine, professor of physics
and astronomy, Moeser and Provost Robert Shelton.
