Fresno State Classics professor Dr. Honora Chapman will be featured on this week's edition of KFSR's radio magazine program "Campus and Community."

In the interview, which is available now online via Real Audio, Dr. Chapman discusses the evolution of the games from the first Olympiad in 776 B.C. to the modern games of today.

She also talks about how many of the issues facing the modern games, such as cheating scandals, the influence of sponsorhip money, and political conflicts were present in the ancient Greek games as well.

"Campus and Community" is a production of Fresno State's radio station KFSR 90.7 FM, and features weekly in-depth interviews with noteable guests from Fresno State and throughout Central California. "Campus and Community" airs every Sunday morning at 11:30am on KFSR 90.7 FM and is hosted by Joe Moore.
