CLORADo PERSPECTIVE Colorado-it is many things to many people. It is a state that wears many different faces-from boom state of the gold rush days to ski heaven to wilderness areas and cattle ranches to the promise of energy enough to run the na- tion. To the students of Denver University, it may be merely a step between school and a career; a place in which to gain independence or, perhaps, it is home. No matter the focus or context, however; there is simply no denying that Colorado is a unique state, and it has had a unique year. Politically, big things are hap- pening in Colorado as the 1984 presidential election approaches. Senator Gary Hart is actively seek- ing the Democratic nomination in an already crowded field of can- didates including former Vice President Walter Mondale and California Senator Alan Cranston. If Hart is successful, he would be the first Coloradoan in the White House. For other Colorado politicians, there has been a rough road. Jack Swigert, former astronaut and Sixth District US. Representative- elect, fell victim to bone marrow cancer and died before he was able to resume his post. Governor Richard Lamm had a nasty bout of sneezing which proved to be too much for his already weak back and left him hospitalized with damage to a disc. An avid athlete, Lamm was for a time unable to return to his more vigourous pur- suits, such as jogging. Denver saw itself on the interna- tional theatre circuit, hosting the World Theatre Festival which hosted shows from fourteen coun- tries this summer. On the music scene, Colorado has seen the best and the worst. The Colorado State Fair, held annually in Pueblo, found itself with severe financial losses. Singer Linda Ronstadt agreed to give a benefit concert, but ticket sales were anemic and the show was cancelled, incurring more debts on the State Fair Com- mission. On the brighter side, The Who included Colorado in its final concert tour and played to a sold out audience in Boulder, while other popular acts, including Fleet- wood Mac and Neil Young, per- forned in Denver throughout the year. Additionally, Colorado resi- dent Willie Nelson agreed to help the beleaguered Colorado State Fair with a benefit concert. Quixotic mother nature has been both kind and cruel to Colorado. For the skiing industry, lots of snow has made skiing conditions excellent in contrast to the previous years drought and the resulting poor snow conditions in all of the states ski areas. The HBlizzard of i82il, which dumped two feet of snow in Denver crippl- ed holiday travel and, possibly, the political careers of Denver Mayor McNichols and Governor Richard Lamm, as allegations of poor snow removal have been leveled by many Denver residents. For the first time in its history, Colorado has a lottery, approved by ballot by the states voters. Tickets are being sold for one dollar throughout the state and prizes ranging from two dollars to one million dollars are being awarded.
