COMMUNITY WORK
Nursing Students Help
High-Risk Families
Nearly two dozen CSUS nursing
students will be helping
children with disabilities and
those at risk of abuse this semester,
through a new partnership with
Lekotek Family Resource Center.
The students will join Lekotek
professionals for both home visits and
playgroup sessions. They’ll give basic
information about health and nutrition,
while learning firsthand the challenges
facing both types of families.
“They’ll be providing a valuable
service and learning to intervene with
high risk families, which will be
important in their careers,” says nursing
professor Susan Petersen, who is
coordinating the program.
Petersen says health care workers
who don’t understand families with
special needs may give unrealistic
suggestions, such as a long daily
exercise regimen for one child when a
single parent is trying to meet the needs
of numerous children.
“We see working with these
students as a way of both
enhancing our services and
improving the quality of
family care in the future.”
Founded eight years ago, Lekotek
serves children with special needs and
also those at risk of abuse and neglect in
El Dorado, Placer, Sacramento and Yolo
counties, focusing on children from
birth to age eight.
Last year the organization served
more than 700 families, and typically
works with 170 families at any one time.
Various state agencies refer children
with disabilities such as Down Syndrome,
autism, Cerebral Palsy, and
chronic or terminal conditions, while
Child Protective Services refers other
families with children at high risk of
abuse or neglect.
“We see working with these students
as a way of both enhancing our services
CSUS
BULLETIN
and improving the quality of family care
in the future,” says Linda Schwartz, codirector
of Lekotek.
Each student will work about six
hours in either home visits, playgroups
or a mix of each. If the program is
successful, Schwartz and Petersen hope
to offer service opportunities to even
more students next semester.
The Lekotek partnership isn’t the
only work Petersen’s students do that
both prepares them for their careers and
helps the community. For instance, they
have helped give Hepatitis A vaccinations
in schools and will soon be
assisting with the Ride-to-Walk
program, in which students with Cerbral
Palsey are taken horeseback riding.

Journal.
GEORGE JOUGANATOS, economics, has
been working as a consultant and expert
witness in a precedent-setting housing
discrimination case being tried in the
San Francisco Federal Court. His
primary role involves analyzing the
economic arguments used by Fair
Housing in their calculation of damages
as well as their method of calculation.
In the News
ARTHUR WILLIAMSON, history, was
interviewed in October on Lithuanian
television. In the interview, he
contrasted Lenin’s efforts to create a
trans-national state with the objectives
of inter-war Lithuanian leaders such
as Antanas Smetona and contemporary,
post-Soviet political figures in
Lithuania.
JIM HERNANDEZ, criminal justice,
appeared in a Feb. 11 story by Fox 40
news on the increase of police chases.
Scott Steele, the new director of
development for the College of
Business Administration, is pumped
up about what students can contribute
to Sacramento business.
“I think the College is one of the
best kept secrets in the whole region,”
Steele said.
Worthy of note is the College’s
Center for Small Business, Steele said.
Local businesses needing help
designing a marketing or business plan
can receive specialized assistance
from some of the College’s students
and faculty. That’s a little-known
resource that should really help his
fund-raising efforts, Steele said. “It’s
my task to get the word out to enhance
an already good reputation.”
Steele’s work as an admissions
director for the University of Southern
California brought him to the area
about four years ago. Several years
with the American Heart Association
and USC alumni relations before that
gives Steele a strong background in
development.
RICHARD ADAMS, English, was
interviewed by KXTV Channel 10 for
a Feb. 10 story, related to the movie
Shakespeare in Love, about why
Shakespeare is still relevant.
AYAD AL QAZZAZ, sociology, was
interviewed by KXTV Channel 10 and
KFBK Radio on Feb. 5 about the
impending death of Jordan’s King
Hussein.
HENRY CHAMBERS, history, was
interviewed twice in December by
KOVR Channel 13 on the renewed Iraq
bombing. He was also interviewed by
KXPR Public Radio on Iraq, and in
January on King Hussein’s death. In
mid-December KXPR Public Radio
aired a half-hour discussion with
Chambers and a Green Party member
on the Iraq bombing, Islam, and the
impeachment crisis.
MICHAEL TOTARO, M.D., health center,

Many people are not aware that CSUs
still must raise 10 percent of their
budget privately. “My job is to make
those linkages so it’s a win-win
situation for both the donor and the
institution.”
Steele received his bachelor’s
degree from USC in Los Angeles,
where he also completed MBA and
Public Administration courses toward
his master’s degree.
Steele lives in Elk Grove with his
wife, Elizabeth, son Christopher, 8,
and daughter Allison, 5. A big fan of
college athletics, Steele helps coach
his son’s soccer teams.
After a family illness, Steele
became involved with the Leukemia
Society of America and now serves on
its board of trustees. That experience
has helped him learn to take advantage
of the joys each day brings, he
said.

the real deal.”

CSUS N ews
Professor Works to Continue the ‘Peace Doll’ Mission
A child’s doll is a simple, treasured
item to share happy times with and to
love.
In 1926, the exchange of a special
group of children’s dolls took on
greater significance, becoming an
international symbol of friendship
between the United States and Japan.
They became known as “peace dolls.”
Now, Shotaro Hayashigatani,
professor of Japanese and ethnic
studies at CSUS, is trying to further the
spirit of international friendship by
helping locate and restore the old dolls
and open another chapter of doll
messengers with new exchanges. He’s
helping organize a conference for
2002, the 75 th anniversary of the peace
doll mission, to bring together the
remaining dolls.
Hayashigatani has retold the story of
the dolls countless time, including
during the International Friendship
Forum “The Mission of the Peace
Dolls” hosted by CSUS in 1992 to
rekindle the peace and friendship the
dolls created before World War II.
In 1926, community churches across
America collected 12,789 dolls from
local children to send to Japan. Each
one was dressed and accessorized in
regional attire. In return, Japanese
children contributed their candy-money
to have 58 dolls made and sent to the
United states.
The American dolls, affectionately
called the “Blue-Eyed Dolls,” arrived
in Japan in early 1927 during the
Japanese Girl’s Festival and were
distributed to school children in all 47
prefectures, including Korea, Taiwan
and Sakhalin.
The Japanese dolls arrived in San
Francisco at the Japanese Language
School later that year, and were sent to
sites across the country. Known as Doll
Ambassadors of Good Will, the dolls
were 32 inches tall and elaborately
dressed in traditional festival costumes
from the region they represented. Each
came with its own furniture, tea-set and
accessories.
World War II took a toll on many of
the dolls, but in recent years there has
been a renewed interest in restoration
of the existing dolls.
Before the bombing of Pearl
Harbor, the dolls had come to represent
