[KS] news re: the korean program at uc berkeley

[Ju Hui Judy Han]

Also, might I add:  the organizers/students show an impressive use of  
the internet, e.g. blogs, online petitions, Facebook groups, and even  
a Flickr photo group.  In particular, the blog contains student  
testimonials, downloadable petition forms, fact sheets, and links to  
local and national media coverage.
