Exposition building will be in conformity to Civic Center design and will provide a
major contribution to the Civic Center, providing public use for decades to come.
The Council later adopted the DSAB recommendation on utilizing the Civic Auditorium
as the shell for a modern 3^000-seat concert hall.

With an International Cruiser Race already assured for the Exposition Year,
the newly-formed Sports Advisory Committee under Chairman Gene Walby has started

areas during 1961. Among those suggested at the kick-off banquet: a world's
championship boxing match, various NCAA meets, and a "Far East Little Olympics"
competition.
