Sorrow and Terror Envelope Olympics
As 11 Israelis Die In Arab Bloodbath
“Eh, my brothers, after a spot
of miloko-plus, how about seek
ing a little ultra-violence, and
perhaps even some of the old in-
out, in-out?” Alex said, it in
Clockwork Orange, but these
thoughts could have easily been
lyrics from any song on Alice
Cooper’s latest album, “School’s
Out”. On stage, Cooper is the
real life counterpart of Anthony
Burgress’ futuristic character,
and even more nauseating.
In a concert this past summer
Alice Cooper strutted into the hot
pink spotlight wearing a silver,
sequin covered evening gown, one
side slit to his waist, his pet boa
constrictor wrapped around his
neck. Throughout the perform
ance Cooper exchanged insults
and obsenities with his happy,
youthful crowd. The show cul
minated with him simulating his
own death by hanging as pun
ishment for beheading a baby
doll with a butcher knife.
Alice Cooper demands to be
either actively accepted or ac
tively rejected. His music is bit
ter, rebellous, pointed, enthusi
astic, polished and, above all, en
tertaining. His stage conduct is
gloriously perverted from the
generally accepted norms. Coop
er’s voice is vulgar, spitting out
contempt for everything around
him. “I slipped into my jeans,
rock hard and feeling mean,’’ he
says in the song “Luney Tune”.
“We got no class, we got no
principles, we got no innocence,
we can’t even think of a word
that rhymes,” he sings in the
title track, “School’s Out,” which
made the “top 10” nationally as
a single.
Those excerpts exemplify the
theme of his album. It is well
produced and has Cooper’s in
tensity throughout both sides,
which is no easy accom
plishment. This intensity forces
the listener to give of himself,
and enjoy doing it, whether it be
love or hate.
In real life, Alice Cooper is a
mild-mannered young man who
lives with his parents when not
on the road traveling. A former
track star, Alice is called “Clark”
by his father, a Baptist minister.
However, outside in the business
world, Alice Cooper and his
“droogs” are not only the crea
tive leaders in the rock music
scene, they are a burning com
ment on the condition of society.
To some, Alice Cooper is a
refreshing break from the wave
of monotonous, sweet, carpenter-
ish music that’s breaking against
our ear drums. To others, he is
the sordid focal point of all that’s
wrong with the younger genera
tion. But for many of his pant
ing followers, Alice Cooper is the
wonderful, warm embodiment of
every evil thought available to a
13-year-old stroker’s mind.
Budget Tapes and Records in
the Northgate area should re
ceive credit for providing Coop
er’s album for analysis.

MUNICH <A>)_A day that be
gan with murder and terror by
Arab commandos ended in a
bloodbath at a military airport
20 miles from Munich. Eleven
members of the Israeli Olympic
contingent were reported killed
at the hands of the terrorists,
plunging the Olympics into sor
row.

Four of the Palestinian com

A band of Arab guerrillas in
vaded the Israeli team’s quarters
at the Olympic grounds before
dawn Tuesday and shot down two
Israelis.
They held nine others hostage
through a day of tense negotia
tions that ended when captors
and hostages were taken by heli

that was to fly them to Cairo.
Bavarian Interior Minister
Bruno Merck said the Israeli
hostages had agreed to go with
the Arabs to Cairo. But the
German authorities ' felt “this
would have been a certain death
sentence for them ... We had
to take a chance and attempt to
free the hostages.”
Merck said the wreckage of the
helicopters was being searched in
the hope that one or two of the
hostages might still be alive.
Police sharpshooters opened
fire on the Arabs when the heli
copters landed, but missed some
because of the darkness. The

helicopters with the helpless

Frenchman Sees Daylight
DEL RIO, Tex. (A*) — French
scientist Michel Siffre emerged
into daylight Tuesday after six
months underground trying to

see if man can break the 24-hour
time cycle in which he lives.
Greeted by his wife, he walked
to the living quarters of the
above-ground crew and collapsed
on a bench with his head across
his arms.
“A boire, a boire. Give me a
drink,” he murmured.
Later he told at a news con
ference that twice during his
time under ground he achieved
a 48-hour day. The average liv
ing cycle was 25 hours, he said.
The tip of his white helmet
emerged from the cave at 11:49
a.m. His wife reached into
cave and helped him out.
Siffre looked around at the
