Burgers continued from p. 1
John Weir, director of public relations for Burger King, said Burger King imported only 5 percent of its beef from America and used it only in Florida.
Burger King never has used imported beef in Kansas because it can buy lean beef.
In the letter, Vogel and Higberger said. "We feel that in an institution that should be committed to examining the beliefs and assumptions of this society, inviting these companies into our midst is highly inappropriate. Their presence is only too further degradation of the goals and mission of the University."
Placek said that by rejecting the petition, Vogel and Highbager were favoring the interests of a special group over the interests of the senators and students.
"These are people with sour grapes about a campaign issue," he said.
LAST FALL, Kevin Walker, Momentum Coalition presidential candidate, used a fast-feed franchise in the Union to win the House (Gogel and Highberger opposed the idea.
In the letter, Vogel and Highergera said, "In our election campaigns we repeatedly and emphatically expressed our support, and we got more votes than anybody else."
They said in the letter, “There are 12 students on the Union Memorial Board. How many KU students do you think are on the board of directors? On Burger King’s?”
Vogel and Highberger said they also opposed the fast-food franchise because the University of Kansas would lose control of food services.
"We feel that a private profit-making corporation has no place on the Universal Market."
Placek said the corporations would provide jobs and management training for 60 to 80 students. He said that the institution had offered speakers on management

Nationally, a spring blizzard piled up to 4 feet of snow on parts of the northern Plains yesterday with another 2 foot accumulation forecast.
"When I was 13, my sister had a lot of beaus. One of them had hopes of being a tenor," he said. "Anyway, he had some beaus and a soprano, but he took to take my sister and impress her with
The storm dropped up to 13 inches of snowy snow in New Mexico and two people were killed in separate, storm-related accidents in New Mexico and Wyoming.
"I guess I've been on the radio almost as long as Jack Benny," Seaver said.
National Weather Service radar indicated possible tornadoes. Reno and the adjacent towns were evacuated.
"I went out the next afternoon and bought my first record, and I've been bulky since then."
IN ADDITION TO his interest in sports, Seaver developed a passion for opera as a child. He has narrated a weekly radio show, "Opera is My Hobby," on KANU radio since 1982.
"I thought for a while I might have a career as a singer." Seaver said. "I sang around the house, howling in the shower."
Eleven persons were injured when a twister hit a shopping mall in St. Louis.

"I enjoyed it, but I wasn't terribly impressed. But the next week the same thing happened, only this time it was a blood-and-thunder opera, with castles and duels. For a kid of 13, that was just what I wanted. In the terms of St. Augustine, I was catastrophically converted overnight.

Although he is retiring as director of the Western Civilization program, Seaver said he did not plan to quit teaching.
He said a music teacher offered to train him for opera, but by then he had been accepted by Stanford.
"I was interested in music and tennis before I became interested in scholarship, but then I got my priorities straightened out," he said.

HAVANA, Cuba — Cuba, in its first mission on an April 19 car bomb in Angola, accused the United States of planning to kill a soldier said killed 14 Cubans and 10 Angolans.
An editorial in Granma, the Communist Party newspaper, and reports of the explosion carried by state radio and television were the first official Cuban admissions of casualties in Angola, Western diplomats said yesterday.
The editorial, first published Wednesday in Granma, said 14 Cubans and 10 Angolans were "brutally assassinated in an explosion caused by means and techniques that could only have been wielded by revolutionary bands by the developed criminal machine of the United States and its South African allies."
The South African-backed Union for the Total Independence of Angola said it was behind the attack, in which a car loaded with explosives rammed a building housing Cubans in the central Angolan town of Huamco. UNITA said the blast killed 200 people, including three Soviets and 37 Cuban officers.
