UTAHNS NOT CONVINCED 2002 WINTER GAMES CAN PAY THE BILLS

          Utahns appear "ambivalent" about hosting the 2002
     Winter Games, and a majority "do not believe" the Olympics
     "will pay for itself," according to Terry Orme of the SALT
     LAKE TRIBUNE.  The poll was conducted through October for
     the Tribune by UT-based Valley Research.  When asked if they
     would go through the process of seeking the Olympic bid
     again given what they know now, 53% of respondents said yes
     and 41% said no.  The poll also found that "just more than
     half doubt that Olympic organizers can raise the money to
     pay for the Games."  The poll has a margin of error of +/-
     4.5% (SALT LAKE TRIBUNE, 11/9).
