The new paper has a circulation of 2,000 and Sweeney claims it now supports itself on advertising revenues. The circulation is unpaid. "The state of Utah has. more lawyers per capita than any other state, yet all other state bar associations publish some kind of newspaper for their members," said Sweeney. The paper is published by the young lawyers section of the Utah Bar Association, which includes all attorneys in the state under 3S years of age. Sweeney said they were previously publishing a "little newsletter, but a group of us got together apd decided to issue a tabloid monthly newspaper. We found the format the Enterprise uses very interesting, and more or less modeled our own after it." The paper recently incorporated with the Secretary of State because, as Sweeney put it, "We limit our liability and get better mail rates for being a non-prof- it FLORENCE BIRTCHER VINCE ALLEN For having qualified for the MILLION DOLLAR CLUB.

"I will remain as chief executive officer," Norton said, "and Eagle has informed us it anticipates no other management changes."

B Shore continued from page 1 mile, he added. Development could occur from one or many firms, Tippetts concluded. Since the lake alone draws more than a million tourists yearly, development of a comfortable resort area at the site would seem to be a sure financial bet. But no one is willing to admit to a corporate interest in investing there. Disney cxccs ranger at the lake says he led a tour of Disney officials on the lake grounds and Antelope Island during the past legislature, but Disney denied interest in the area. "I couldnt be more emphatic that wc arc not looking," proclaimed vice president of Disney marketing Larry Pontius. "Wc have enough projects going right now to keep us busy for 25 years," he told the Enterprise, KCC was equally vehement about its lack of interest in the south shore. Robert N. Pratt, general manager, told the Enterprise the rumors are "untrue." Wc have no plans on the south shore except to complete our A smelter. Ken Kcfauvcr, public relations director for KCC spec- ulated the rumors originated from his private interest in the lake and meetings he held with KCC officials trying to persuade the copper magnate to look into south shore devel- opment. "They said they had no financial interest in development and were in no position to diversify since copper is in such bad shape," Kefauvcr said. Trolley Square developer, Wally Wright, Lagoon vice president Boyd Jensen, Pearson Enterprises, Manny and Trammell Crow manager Randy Paul were uninterested in south shore development from a 'personal view.' "Weve been insulting the public with a south shore doormat long enough," Jensen said. "And Lagoons involvement with the lobbying was to insure wc could change the situation so tourists could enjoy the lake." But, as Wally Wright also asserted, "wc have no personal interest in the lake, but will support whoever decides to develop it." Floor, |
