SignOn San Diego Neil Morgan -- Good news bits: Campus heroes, Globe manners, local winners The twilight conversation centered around Munk, the first oceanographer to win the Kyoto Prize; nuclear physicist Herbert York, honored this year with the Fermi Award; and Yuan-Cheng (Bert) Fung, a bioengineer who has received the Presidential National Medal of Science. The trick lay in the 54 years that oceanographer Walter Munk had served on adjoining campuses: the venerable Scripps Institution of Oceanography, and the UC campus that took Scripps under its wing 40 years ago. Munk, Austrian-born, dapper and twinkly, was introduced as the man who wore knickers to the White House when President Reagan handed him the National Science Medal. www.signonsandiego.com /news/metro/morgan/20010510-9999_1n10morgan.html   (517 words)
