Journal.<br />
GEORGE JOUGANATOS, economics, has<br />
been working as a consultant and expert<br />
witness in a precedent-setting housing<br />
discrimination case being tried in the<br />
San Francisco Federal Court. His<br />
primary role involves analyzing the<br />

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

“Access to higher education is<br />
critical and the opportunity to promote<br />
education to other people is important,”<br />
said Steele. “I enjoy being in this<br />
environment with faculty and students.“<br />

system versus a private institution will<br />

JEANNIE KELTNER, English, was<br />
profiled in the February issue of<br />
<strong>Sacramento</strong> Magazine. The focus of<br />
the article was her work with social<br />
justice issues.<br />
JEAN TORCOM, government and liberal<br />
studies, was quoted in a Feb. 8<br />
<strong>Sacramento</strong> Bee article about the<br />
media and Chelsea Clinton.<br />
MIKE MCCRYSTLE, criminal justice,<br />
was quoted in a McClatchy News<br />
Service article about police agencies<br />
becoming more lenient in hiring<br />
officers who have used drugs.<br />
GEORGE JOUGANATOS, economics, was<br />
interviewed by KXTV Channel 10<br />
news on Oct. 8 for a story on the retail<br />
labor market. On Jan. 27, he appeared<br />
as a guest on Soapbox, a talk show on<br />
local public access channel 73. The<br />
topic was the economy and the<br />
impeachment process.<br />
be his biggest challenge, said Steele.<br />
Many people are not aware that CSUs<br />
still must raise 10 percent of their<br />
budget privately. “My job is to make<br />
those linkages so it’s a win-win<br />
situation for both the donor and the<br />
institution.”<br />
Steele received his bachelor’s<br />
degree from USC in Los Angeles,<br />
where he also completed MBA and<br />
Public Administration courses toward<br />
his master’s degree.<br />
Steele lives in Elk Grove with his<br />
wife, Elizabeth, son Christopher, 8,<br />
and daughter Allison, 5. A big fan of<br />
college athletics, Steele helps coach<br />
his son’s soccer teams.<br />
After a family illness, Steele<br />
became involved with the Leukemia<br />
Society of America and now serves on<br />
its board of trustees. That experience<br />
has helped him learn to take advantage<br />
of the joys each day brings, he<br />
said.<br />
“Life is not a dress rehearsal – it’s<br />
the real deal.”<br />
