parish South Korea will host next Olympics By MORLEY MYERS LOS ANGELES (UPI) - The world's greatest five-ring circus folded up camp for another four years Sunday, with the message \Goodbye Los Angeles, see you in Seoul.\ But for many sports fans, the Olympic farewell to arms should have finished with a question mark. The last three Summer Games — 1076 in Montreal, 1980 in Moscow and now Los Angeles — suffered political boycotts. To many~~01ympic followers, the choice of Seoul as the 1988 host ci- ty was akin to a passenger order- ing ice from a barman on the Titanic. South Korea has no diplomatic relations with the Soviets and their satellites, nor with China, which sent a full team to the Summer Olympics for the first time. Juan Antonio Samaranch, president of the International Olympic Committee, has warned that a boycott in Seoul could do irreparable harm to the Olympic movement. The Soviets, who led the East Bloc boycott of the Los Angeles Games saying they feared for the safety of their athletes, have already voiced their concern over Seoul. However, the two Soviet delegates were among the 83 IOC members who met in Los Angeles and pledged their full support to the 1988 Seoul Olym- pics. Samaranch stressed there was no question of the IOC reversing its decision to hold the Games in the South Korean capital. \Wo know Sooul hat no diplomatic contact with mony coun- tries, but wo took o docislon In 19tl and wo stay with this doc is ion. Wo signed a contract and wo will honor this con- tract.\ — Juon Antonio Samaranch \We know Seoul has no diplomatic contact with many countries, but we took a decision in 1981 and we stay with this deci- sion, \ Samaranch said after 4 the meeting. \We si$nt&a contract and we will honor this contract.\ But the boycott fear lites on far^KK has railfidnnrTr- traordinary two-day sesslbn^at- its Lausanne, Switzerland head- quarters Dec. 1 in an effort to find a solution to the boycott pro- blem. Meanwhile Seoul, its con- fidence boosted by the full back- ing of the IOC, has been going ahead at full steam with its preparations. The Seoul Olympic Organizing Committee sees itself in the role of Olympic peacemakers and it is no accident it chose \Harmony and Progress\ as the 1988 Olym- pic motto. \We are not a super power. We are not about to threaten anyone,\ said San-Jin Chyun, the committee's secretary-general of international relations. \Our relations with China have been improving. They have sent basketball and rowing teams to Korea and we are sending a basketball team to Shanghai in October,\ he added. Tae-Woo Roh, president of the organizing committee, said his government was making over- tures to the Soviets, aimed at Ex-radical Hoffman distrusts youths NEW YORK (UPI) - The slogan of the '60^ radicals was once, \Don't trust anyone over 30,\ but Abbie Hoffman, 47, now says it may be the other way around. ~ \' Hoffman, co-founder of the Youth International Party dur- ing the 60s — better known as the \Yippies\ - told Newsweek Magazine in an interview published Sunday he doubts the commitment of today's students to social change. \I'm like a Chinese meal to these students,\ Hoffman said. \An hour after my talk, they're back to watching 'Dallas' and playing video games. \I think the reason a lot of the young people are against nuclear war is because it would screw up their careers. The situation has been reversed from the '60s. It's now the young people who are cynical and in despair, while the older generation, the '60s people, are the ones working for change. \I now think it's legitimate to wonder whether people under 30 can be trusted,\ said Hoffman. Hoffman, who spent seven years as a fugitive on cocaine charges, said he came up from underground because he saw young people heading into the era of \designer brains, and I wanted to tell them fashion isn't everything.\ Hoffman told the magazine he will soon be on the lecture circuit with Bobby Seale, a former Black Panther leader and his co- defendant in the Chicago Seven antiwar case. The two will talk about black-Jewish relations. Hoffman was arrested on co- caine charges in 1973 and went underground, working in an en- vironmental group and. on one occasion, testifying before Con- gress. He surfaced in 1980, plead- ed guilty to a lesser charge, and spent a year in jail. Hoffman lives in a cottage in upstate New York, continues in the environmental movement, and recently published a collec- tion of essays. He told the magazine he owns no stocks, bonds or real estate, \and I don't even have health insurance.\ Catty fcrtel Electrolysis] Unwonted Hair lemoved Permanently Appointments for FREE Consultation 293-7530 torn 14..

Relations between Moscow and Seoul have been frosty since the downing of a South Korean passenger plane that strayed into Soviet airspace last September. M We have no intention to review the past difficulties. We -eirty want-to alleviate tensions between the East and the West. The wounds will have healed by 1988,\ he said. Un Yong-Kim, a South Korean member of the IOC, estimated it will cost $1 billion to stage the Games. „ _ \Funds will come from five major sources,\ San-Jin said. 'The marketing of the emblem anctmascot, television rights, ad- mission tickets, the sale of com- memorative coins and the sale of lottery tickets.\ The Seeul organizers are also able to cut down costs by using existing facilities. They estimated 33 competition vgnues would be needed, 17 of which were already in existence. \Construction on nine competi- tion venues is well under way and construction on seven others hat just begun.\ Security, which alone cost $100 million at the Los Angeles Games, will be provided by the Army and police. \AH the appropriate security measures will be taken,\ SanJin said. '\Our government has writ- ten to President Samaranch guaranteeing the personal safety of all athletes, protecting the Games and participants from any disturbances.\ Nautilus COMING SOON Pittsburgh YMCA — 561-4290 Press-Republican—Monday, August 13,1984 7 ITS INCREDIBLE!
