Welcome to Bag, Dad!

Back in the carefree Sixties, when students had only the Vietnam War to worry about, a certain Colorado Daily editor christened Boulder "Baghdad-by-the-Flatirons." (That Daily editor is now a Denver Post editor, considerably more portly and listing distinctly to the starboard.)

When the war with the real Baghdad was still just one more ultimatum away, and a Hollywood film crew was headed for Boulder to start filming "Spring Break: The Movie" (and the draft but a distant memory), Boulder City Councilperson Spense Havlick felt moved to write (spelling and punctuation as in the original) on the City's HOTLINE:

"... Let's have CU students go to Bagdad as a symbol of solidarity with peace -seeking peoples ....instead of CU students going to some tropical beach.Or for those students who need to stay here due to financial concerns ,let folks sign up to work for Habitat for Humanity,or other charitable local non-profit."

Way cool idea, Spense!
