I n : Continued From Page 1 The image study has shown the only thing the world knows about Utah is what they read in history books. The Mormons came to the valley in 1840, planted some crops that crickets devoured and they were eaten up by some sea gulls, the end. The lifestyle and dress of Utahns has been frozen in the 1800s. The next thing to read in books is about Kennecott Copper the biggest hole in the world, and the Bonneville Salt Flats. Nothing about contemporary people in Utah ! " According to preliminary results of the current study, Utah's image has changed. Nationally, Utahns are thought to look like an average citizen, as opposed to the bearded and black-clad Mennonites they . resem-x, resem-x, bled in the study a deeade,agq. The endless deserts, salt flats and unbearable un-bearable heat has been replaced with the more realistic image of mountains, moun-tains, farm land and moderately-lengthed moderately-lengthed seasons of average temperatures. tem-peratures. Nationally, Utahns were thought to be religious, moral, progressive, natural and warm. According to the same study, Utahns perceive themselves as religious, helpful and moral, But old-fashioned, old-fashioned, serious and common were also high on the list, indicating that Utahns have a low self-image. According Accor-ding to Dr. Hunt, Utahns tend to live up to their self-image of belonging to an isolated, close-knit society a philosophy left over from the pioneer days. A visitor coming to Utah with an image of the average helpful American may leave thinking Utahns are tight-lipped and unfriendly. Mike Dalton, who is researching the image study with Dr. Hunt, said a few questions concerning liquor were included in-cluded in the study and give some indication in-dication of the national and local sentiments. sen-timents. When 5,000 randomly selected Americans were asked if liquor was available in Utah, 74 per cent of the respondents said yes; 31 per cent said liquor availability was a neutral subject sub-ject to them, while 54 per cent said it was unimportant or very unimportant Locally, 54 per cent said liquor availability was important to tourists visiting Salt Lake City. When asked nationally how Utah liquor laws compared com-pared to other states, 54 per cent said they were restrictive or unrealistic, indicating that the potential visitor is confused as to what the laws really are. "The liquor laws are not turning a lot of people away," Dalton said. "But there is obviously confusion as to what the position is in the state." Dalton attributes the boom tourist business in neighboring Colorado, and in particular Denver, to the railroad, not liquor. Visiting Denver from the coasts was fashionable in the 1860s, and Colorado capitalized on its popularity early. Almost 100 years later, Dalton said, Utah tourism was first being actively pursued. Colorado became the "Ski the Rockies" state while Utah's motto a few years ago was "Experience the Different World of Utah"-further solidifying the oddball odd-ball image. Dr. Hunt said Utah is finally "coming out from the under the bushel basket," and added that although a change in liquor laws could speed the process, other major problems, such as the minimal mass transit system, also need attention. "I am a proponent of liquor-by-the-drink. But it's obvious, you can't compare an economic issue with a religious issue because you'd be IS lit saw -Tfi; mm p"' fcka beating your head against the wall. I think the hotels today feel the market is better. Their attitude is they'll live with the laws." Hilton Hotel general manager Mike Squires supported that theory. "We've overcome any hard times we've had with the liquor commission. com-mission. My personal feelings are hard to express. We run tours from all over the world through here Japan, Germany, France. They get here and they're so confused. There's no big difference between mini bottles and free pour, but explaining it..." Park City resident Rob Morris, co-owner co-owner of the in-progress Holiday Inn. said the liquor laws are not enough to deter him from fcuilding in Utah. ' Floor plans for the facility include a pub with beer and a mini bottle license licen-se and a private club. "It's really necessary for a major convention facility to have access to liquor. Under Utah's laws, it is certainly cer-tainly not as profitable for a hotel. It comes down to a bar or private club can be profitable in Utah if run properly. It's not as good as in other states.. .but what's the alternative?" In Salt Lake City, Victoria Station manager Frank Fondrisi said it's difficult dif-ficult to explain to customers that liquor is a 100 per cent cost item and the only profits are derived from the set-ups. "The out-of-state customers don't understand when you tell them a glass of ice costs $1.80. We could make a killing if there was liquor-by-the-drink. In other states there's a 12 to 15 per cent profit. A shot costs from 8 to 12 cents and you can sell it for $1.50." "Dumb, dumb, dumb," local restaurateur and state liquor store operator Don Millecam said of the existing liquor laws. He defined the laws as "anything that is logical and legal in other states is illogical and illegal in Utah." Reacting to complaints that his package store, Rosie's Delicatessen, is not always well-stocked, Millecam said 50 to 60 per cent of his orders are scratched because the state warehouses are poorly stocked. During the ski industry peak months of January and February, the warehouses are at their yearly low, and make no substitutions or back orders or-ders for the package stores. The state has recently determined that a conflict of interests may exist when a restaurant and state store are dually operated. Millecam says he is not upset that a new operator is being sought for his package store. "It's impossible to do a good job and it doesn't look like there is any improvement im-provement in sight. As far as the laws go, until free enterprise gets involved, the general public is getting ripped off." Lloyd Stevens of the Claim jumper said, "People hate like hell to pay for a membership just for the privilege of spending money here. A lot of people travel to ski areas to party but they don't come to Utah because there is no party." Utah's image may be changing but it's doubtful that the liquor will follow suit. The last free pour movement went down the drain with gusto and it could be true that "you only go around once" in this state. So, it seems visiting and resident drinkers will have to be content packing their own or carrying club cards. And with a glass of ice costing $1.80. It's going to be difficult convincing convin-cing people this isn't a "dry" state. 9:05 Adolph's Restaurant discussion to grant approval for a sign located on North Park Avenue. 9:10 Old Business Holiday Village Shopping Center continue discussions on the economic and traffic analysis. 24 HOUR SERVICE FOR ALL YOUR DRY CLEANING NEEDS etropolitan Laundry & Dry Cleaners Mt.
