ASC NEWS: We now have interviewers assigned for all of the applicants to Princeton from Korea this year. Many thanks to YS Chi, Andrew Bogan, Christina Cragholm, Kirsten Jerch, Hae-joon Lee, Kyung-hwan Kim and Yong-Jay Lee.
PRINCETON CLUB "NEWS": I guess this isn't really news, since much time has passed from the dates of the events. However, today, Jay Lee has translated from Korean to English the information from the Princeton Club web site. (Thanks, Jay!) To those of us still learning the Korean language, it is certainly news. The contents of Jay's email follow:

Title: Woon-Chan Chung, President of Seoul National University, was voted as the new President of the Princeton Club of Korea at the year-end party
Contents:
The year-end party of the Princeton Club of Korea was held on December 21, 2003. About 40 people in total attended the merry event. At the event, a plaque was presented to Dr. and Mrs. Jin Jang for their invaluable contributions that have played a crucial part to the club’s prosperity over the years. Also, Professor Woon-Chan Chung, President of Seoul National University, was elected as the new club President, succeeding Professor Byung-Joo Kim. On his acceptance speech, he suggested that the club should gather at least twice a year, and promised to actively contribute to the development of the club during his term.

That’s about it.

Jay.
