Show SMq Chmbon Support Orem-Gen.pvi Times January 18, 1973 Winter Olympics to fffefej The State Chamber of Commerce representatives voted unanimously to support Salt Lake City as the site of the Winter Olympics at a meeting held last Friday in Salt Lake. Attending from the Orem Chamber were 1972 President Ernest Evans, new board member mem-ber Jim Brown and Ron Wilkinson, Wilkin-son, 1973 president. President Ron Wilkinson explained ex-plained that most of the negative comments come about because the people do not understand the condtions that Salt Lake has insisted in-sisted upon before the Olympics can come to our area. With these stipulations the chances of being accepted are slim. 1. The total cost of the games would be about 15 million dol- lars, this would come from the federal government because in reality it is the United States hosting the games not Salt Lake or Utah. 2. There would be no permanent perm-anent structures built in our Canyons and then only temporary tempor-ary ticket boothes and refreshment refresh-ment stands. 3. The third stipulation requires that the Olympics be returned to the athletes and the commercialism that has followed them discontinued. With the above stipulations the Olympics would not be a detriment detri-ment to the State of Utah. It would eliminate the riff raff and return to the Olympics the prestige pres-tige they rightly deserve. Salt Lake City is an ideal site for the Olympics, as all skiers know we have the greatest snow on earth. The Olympics would focus World attention on SLC and Utah and on something other than the Salt Lake desert. Utah suffers from an image problem throughout most of the world, they don't know the great beauty that we have. If we can get the Olympics as stipulated by the three very stringent restrictions set down by Mayor Garn and the Olympics committee, the state of Utah would benefit by: 1 The vast television audience that would realize that Utah's desert has blossomed and would help Utah with visitors, conventions, conven-tions, and tourism in future years. 2. After the Olympics were over the state would own, without k-any direct expense to the citizens, f one of the finest speed skating and winter complexes in the world. This facility would be built next to the University of Utah on federally feder-ally owned property that would be turned over to Salt Lake City. 3. The jumps built on the ski resorts would become permanent. perm-anent. It has been constantly emphasized by the Olympics Committee that they eventually would be toned down - There would be no extravaganzaj this would eliminate the problem that other cities have experienced. I have great faith that the state of Utah could set a great example for the rest of the world to follow. I also believe .that Utah is the ideal site for the Olympics. Much of the expense that other cities have had will not be necessary because of the closeness of the mountains and the availability of all the facilities. It is true that we would probably fill up every hotel and motel in Salt Lake, Ogden, and Utah County. But we are within 45 minutes of any event. With the new Howard Johnson Royal Inn and the new 540 Hilton going into the Salt Lake City area we will be prepared pre-pared for them. Needless to say, I am in favor of the Olympics if the stipulations outlined are met Utah can only benefit from them; but the chances of the "Olympics" meeting our conditions con-ditions are slim, therefore my prognosis is that the Olympics will not come to Utah. World Famous Violinst And Symphony Play at Y Yehudi Menuhln, world famous violinist, will appear in concert con-cert as guest soloist with the Utah SymphonyOrchestraThurs-day, SymphonyOrchestraThurs-day, Jan. 25, at 8 p,m. in the George Albert Smith Fieldhouse at Brigham Young University. The Orchestra, which is counted coun-ted among the top 12 symphony orchestras in the United States, will be conducted by Maestro Maurice Abravenel. Mr. Menuhin is a figure of such towering stature that recommendations recommen-dations of his concerts seem almost al-most superfluous. Those who heard his interpretation of the Beethoven Violin Concerto with the New York Sumphony inCarn-egie inCarn-egie Hall in 1927 knew they were a part of concert history. It was debatable that a lad of eleven should attempt such a feat, but his technical brilliance and emotional and intellectual insight assured him of a lifetime of triumphs. His name has become synonymous synon-ymous with the highest standards of musicianship, and audiences to this day from New York to Moscow, from London to Bombay, Bom-bay, from Buenos Aires to Tel Aviv still experience the sense of being a part of history when hearing him play. Maestro Abravanel last year guided the Orchestra through 170 concerts in 9 States and countries coun-tries of Latin America to celebrate cele-brate his silver anniversary with the Utah Symphony. In 1966, at the invitation of the Greek government, theUtahSym-phony theUtahSym-phony made its first European tour, giving five concerts at the Athens Festival and eleven other concerts In Belgrade, Vienna, Berlin, London and other major European cities. In route the group gave its debut concert at Carnegie Hall. To date, the Orchestra made 65 long-playing recordings of over 100 works, which are distributed dis-tributed worldwide on 30 different diff-erent labels and have sold over a million copies. With a home base in Salt Lake City, the Utah Symphony regularly reg-ularly serves all of Utah and parts of Idaho, Nevada, Wyoming and Colorado. Maestro Abravanel is considered con-sidered by leading critics as a major figure among orchestra conductors today. BornlnSalon-ia, BornlnSalon-ia, Greece, and reared in Lausanne, Lau-sanne, Switzerland, he began his career in Germany where he conducted at the Berlin State Opera and in Paris where he conducted at the Paris Opera and for Balanchine's Ballet. He came to America as the youngest conducter ever engaged at the Metropolitan Opera and has since conductedmany of the major orchestras of the world, including theBerlin Philharmonic, Philharmon-ic, Philadelphia Orchestra and Others.
