Breaking Away, a sculpture by artist Joe McDonnell, hangs from a crane as workers lift the piece to its new resting point on the south plaza between Meany and Gerberding Halls. Placing the bronze sculpture took most of the morning and slowed pedestrian and vechicle traffic in and around Gerberding. photo by Kurt Kiefer PHOTO: KK20000728_16a |

Poster time David Phillips, a junior majoring in physics and astronomy, explains his poster illustrating that gullies visible on the Martian surface might be evidence of liquid water, a necessary component for life. Phillips was one of 61 undergraduates who on Sept. 27 presented the results of their summer research projects. His work was done under the guidance of faculty adviser Conway Leovy, emeritus atmospheric sciences professor, in conjunction with the UW’s pioneering graduate program in astrobiology.

Campus Haunts “One of my favorite campus haunts is in the unlikely space between the F,G & H-wings above the G-wing dock of the Health Sciences Building! Surprisingly, there’s an intimate courtyard that brings the concrete & glass of the buildings into harmony with nature. Curving concrete forms provide cosy niches for benches. There, you can commune with the crow family in their nest above, watch the squirrels hoard acorns from the California evergreen oak shrubs for winter and share your lunch with a pigeon or two. On good Seattle days, you can choose a sunny or shady spot to rest and relax amongst the rustic plants chosen for this urban landscape design. Best of all, I can enjoy it every day through the windows of the lab where I work. For this, I am thankful.” Cherry Tamblyn
