Cancer Claims Movie 'Tough Guy'
The death of Humphrey Bogart, probably Hollywood's most renowned "tough guy" character actor, brought an end to a stellar career which lasted for 20 years.
Mr. Bogart died early Monday morning of cancer at the age of 56.
He got his start in the acting profession as a stage performer in "Swifty." In 1932 he acted in the film version of the stage show "The Petrified Forest." and his screen career was begun.
Mr. Bogart muscled into the "tough guy" field dominated by Edward G. Robinson, Paul Muni, and James Cagney. Some of his early films were "Kid Galahad," Angels with Dirty Faces," "Bad Sister," and "The Maltese Falcon."
He was married four times, to Mary Phillips, Helen Mencken, actress Mayo Methot, and finally to Lauren Bacall. He and the latter Mrs. Bogart
had two children, Stephen, now 8, and Leslie, 3 years old.
His more recent films include "Key Largo." "Knock On Any Door," "The Desperate Hours," "The Harder They Fall," and "The Caine Mutiny." In 1951 he won an Oscar award for his performance in "The African Queen."
Tough guy Bogart was unable to return to top film roles because of an operation last March for a cancerous growth on his esophagus. Scar tissue which formed made him unable to regain the weight he had lost while in the hospital.
On Nov. 26 he entered a Santa Monica, Cal., hospital for treatments to dissolve the scar tissue. At that time doctors found no more traces of cancer, and he was released.
Sunday morning he went into a coma at his home and didn't regain consciousness.

'This Is Paris' By Les Compagnons
"What have you done to my heart?"
“This Is Paris,” the new Capitol hi-fi recording ($3.98) inspires these words. Those who have been to Paris will testify that this new long playing disc by Les Campagnons de la Chansen and Annie Cordy is as much of Paris as could be put on wax.
Recorded in Paris, "This Is Paris" is alternately sentimental, sauce, tender, sexy, nostalgic and some other things for which there are not words.
The style of Annie Cordy, charming young lady of the "personality school," has been best described as "minxish." Even if the listener has little or no knowledge of French, Annie's style manages to get across meanings as few French singers are able to do.
In fact, if you have a good imagination, you'll be able to see the motions typical of a chanteuse de "cafes de chez nous." In plain talk, Miss Cordy is at times downright seductive.
By contrast, the sentimentality of "Sur Ma Vie" (On My Life), sung by Les Compagnons, is touching.
For many years since World War II Les Compagnes have appeared in such American prestige spots as the Waldorf-Astoria, the Coconut Grove and Palmer House. This isn't their first record—another record "Les Trois Cloches" (The Three Bells) was a best seller in the United States.
Included in this 40 minutes of Paris are "Elle Chante" (She Sings),
"Le Violon de Tante Estelle" (Aunt Estelle's Violin), "Je T'Appartiens",
(I Belong to you), "Alers Raconte" (Go On, Tell Us), and "La Java de Diable" (The Java of the Devil)

Well, as we members of the class of 1956 $ \frac{1}{2} $ proudly say, this is the last gasp.
As a matter of fact, this is the last time any of our faithful readers will have a chance to read this deathless prose, the Lord and several faculty members willing.
And all writers are expected to have something earth-shaking to

Songs by Miss Cordy, which are arranged so that they are followed and preceded by Les Compagnons, are "Du Soleil" (Some Sun), "Mon P'tit Pote" (My Little Honey), "Cafes de Chez Nous" (Our Cafes), "Bill," "A Pied, a Cheval" (Walking, Riding) and "Non Merci" (No. No Thanks).
The intimations, exaggerated "R's" and skill of Annie Cordy plus the humorous and sentimental offerings of Les Compagnons make up the most accurate musical picture of Paris in the 1950's. Permit us a cliche—Ooh la la Annie!

mood arises, and occasionally when the mood hasn't even begun to come up.
During the course of the semester, a couple of guys have expressed curiosity as to how a columnist—and we use the term loosely—come up with an idea every day. The answer is quite simple. Quite often this column has been written without any idea whatsoever, much in the manner of an unprepared student answering a Western Civ essay.
Since we won't be around to keep all the campus affairs running smoothly, we would like to leave behind a few words of advice for posterity.
In the first place, keep after those artists to get busy on the solid bronze Jayhawker. Nothing provides more interest than a complete farce, and once it's completed, it'll be more fun than Jimmy Green.
And a word to the class of 1957, with which we boast a vague association. In considering the possibilities for a senior gift, how about considering something worthwhile, such as a statue of Jayne Mansfield. Knowing the misguided leadership provided by some of our younger generation, we wouldn't be surprised if they came up with a statue of Elvis Presley, Fats Domino, or both.

And, in closing, we'd like to announce that we've given our parking permit—only 24 blocks from the campus—to the guy at the next desk. Don't bother to call and ask for it, unless you happen to be a girl, pretty-type.
