See ACROSS, Page 6 Salt Lake City finally takes the Gold Mike Slaugh News Editor When Salt Lake first applied to host the Olympics in 1966, it was nothing more that just a city known for the huge saltwater lake located next to it. Now, after almost three decades and millions of dollars in improvements, Salt Lake will be the newest member on the list of cities to hold the Olympics. Salt Lake won a landslide victory, receiving 55 of the 90 votes. Ostersund, Sweden and Sion, Switzerland both received 14. Quebec City, Canada rounded out the list, receiving only seven. Over 50,000 people were in Salt Lake when Juan Antonio Samaranch, president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), proclaimed that Salt Lake would host the Winter Olympics in 2002. A roar of applause, which lasted longer than the announcement itself, erupted through the crowd that packed the sidewalks and lawns of downtown Salt Lake City. "It's a great thing for the western part of the Entertainers of all sorts came out to the Salt Lake Olympic party, thing from rock bands to fresh strawberry shortcake. United States and indeed for our whole country," said President Clinton after receiving the news. Even though they walked away losers, the three other cities who lost to Salt Lake vow to try again. "We will continue to bid and we will continue to hope," said Francis Clivaz, of the Sion delegation. Salt Lake's victory was no sur prise to some cities. Not long after the decision was announced, members of Sion's delegation gave members of the Utah delegation lapel pins. On the pins were the Sion Olympic logo and the words "Congratulations, Salt Lake City 2002." This was the fifth time Salt Lake applied to host the games in the past three decades. The closest Freedom Festival to be Provo's biggest celebration ever Kami Fehrenbacker Feature Editor Local Fourth of July celebrations are in the final preparation stages, including Provo's Freedom Festival. The theme for the 1995 America's Freedom Festival is "America the Beautiful."

The first event to take place will be the annual Concert Series at the historic Provo Tabernacle. Mary Bethers, producer of the Concert Series, has screened and booked a variety of talent. All performances are free and begin at 7:30 p.m. The Dutten Family will start the series on June 24. This family of seven will perform their professional touring show. On June 25, Ralph Laycock's Municipal Band returns to the stage. In previous years, the band has been one of the crowd's favorites. On Monday, June 26, the Utah County Suzuki Strings and Private Collection are scheduled to appear along with the Bar-K-Wranglers. Other performers will be the Richfield Dancers, Music Express, and pianist Dustin Gledhill. The final event of the Concert Series will be held on Tuesday, June 27, and will be a showcase of choruses.
