The Park Record from Park City, Utah • 36

Wednesday, October 31, 2001 C-4 The Park Record Arts in the spotlight li i 7 extensively throughout Europe while he was growing up. "We went all over England and Scotland in a Volkswagen camper van," he recalled. His travels helped to develop a sincere interest in history. The powerful influence of a high school volleyball coach and physical education teacher motivated Wenn to pursue a bachelorls degree in physical education at the University of Western Ontario. It was during his years as a graduate student at Western that he truly uncovered his interest for the history or sport.

Wenn decided to complete a Ph.D. in sports history at Pennsylvania State University. In 1992, he traveled to Lausanne, Switzerland to do research for his dissertation at the International Olympic Headquarters. At that time the IOC placed a 10-year embargo on the access of IOC executive board minutes, and a 50-year embargo on access to personal correspondence between IOC members. Through the influence of Karel Wendl, former chief archivist for the IOC, Wenn succeeded in lifting the IOC restrictions.

He has since completed four research trips to Lausanne. "I was able to trace the IOGs approach to media correspondence," Wenn explained. The Committee changed its philosophical approach from one of not wanting to be linked in any way to commercial entities, to skillful, adept dealings with commercial sponsorship. In his lecture, Wenn will examine the commercialization of the Winter Games and reactions to this movement "I want to provide a lecture the Tanner Humanities Center, was immediately fascinated. "It was a way to offer depth to what we were going to be involved in socially," Campbell said.

"The Olympic phenomenon is much broader and deeper than one might think." The Center enthusiastically agreed to provide financial and staff support for the Olympic Lecture Series. Participating guest lecturers will contribute a variety of disciplines and research specialties to the series. Steven Wenn is scheduled to give the next lecture on Nov. 8. Wenn is an associate professor and chair for the department of kinesiology and physical education at Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.

Wenn's main area of expertise and research deals with the relationship of sport and commerce, with a focus on the International Olympic Committers relationship with international television stations. Wenn is the co-author, with Robert Barney and Scott Martyn, of "Selling the Five Rings: The IOC and the Rise of Olympic Commercialization." The book will be published by the University of Utah Press in April 2002. It examines the IOCs management of television rights negotiations and corpo-. rate sponsorship initiatives in the 20th century. Throughout his adolescent years Wenn was convinced he wanted to be a high school science teacher like his father.

"I participated in a lot of different sports as a kid," Wenn said. In addition, his family traveled thatls meaningful to all that are there," Wenn said. "That my goal." He will discuss the problems associated with commercialization of the Games. "Salt Lake Oty was not the first bid process to be tainted" Wenn explained. However, he believes the scandal forced the IOC to confront what was becoming a "festering problem." Wenn will also take the opportunity to discuss ways in which the IOC can improve the use of its money.

"If itls truly an international movement," Wenn explained, "it needs to do a better job of supporting sports in developing countries." He believes the IOC should establish adequate training facilities and world-class coaching for these nations. Professor Stephen Wenn will present "Commercialization and the Winter Games'' on Nov. 8, at 730 p.m. The Olympic Lecture Series is held on the University of Utah campus, in the Waldemer P. Read Auditorium in Orson Spencer HalL Subsequent lectures by Olympic historians will follow on Nov.

Heber Art Council to debut book by Jessica Romine-Peterson RECORD GUEST WRITER In celebration of the 2002 Winter Olympic Games, a series of public lectures by noted international Olympic historians will be offered every month at the University of Utah through March. The Olympic Lecture Series was made possible through the joint effort of University of Utah history Professor Larry Gerlach, and The Obert and Grace A.

Tanner Humanities Center. Three years ago. Professor Gerlach, now in his 33rd year of teaching at the University, presented his idea for a lecture series based on the history of the Olympic movement to the directors of the Tanner Humanities Center. The 11-year-old Center is a nonprofit organization dedicated to intellectual debate and community outreach. "There has been a lot of publicity about the Winter Olympics," Gerlach explained.

"But, none tends to be a serious examination of the Olympics." The professor wanted to provide the community with various perspectives that revealed the Games as being much more than athletic competition. "It's important for scholars to be able to communicate their knowledge with members of the community," Gerlach said.

This book, spon- sored by the Heber Valley Arts Council, was created to share the rich artistic heritage of the Heber Valley with valley residents as well as visitors coming to Soldier Hollow for the 2002 Winter Olympics. Arts Council members met with' both amateur and professional photographers and writers who live in the Heber Valley. They were invit- ed to submit previously unpub- lished works reflecting artistic per-, ceptions of heritage through photography, prose and poetry.

All entries were juried by an impartial I committee and the resultant book includes the work of over 30 writers and photographers. Each photo- graphic image is partnered with a i written impression. In February of 2002, as part of the Cultural Olympiad, there will be public exhibits of the original photographs and writings as well as; a panel discussion with the artists. The panel discussion will share with the public the process used to ere- i ate the book. This book project and, it accompanying public exhibits and panel discussion have been I funded by The Heber Valley Arts Council and a 2002 Cultural Olympiad Heritage Invitational Grant.
