A random crowd-surfer tests the hands of many yesterday during Z-lO3's festival at the Red
long, Lollapalooza-Iike event to rock out. till students James Butler (above, I-r), Eric Langan.

Live acts bring amps, energy and heat to alt-rock fans

n a day where the tempera-
ture was almost as hot as the
music. 10.000 people braved
the elements to attend Z-Fest
‘98 at the Red Mile on Sunday.
The all-day event sponsored by Z-
103 drew bands like Better
Than Ezra. the Romantics
and Candlebox. Things went
strong all afternoon on the

event‘s main and side
stages.
Far Too Jones kicked off the

show around noon. The
. show went on all day with
closing act Third-Eye Blind
finishing up around 9 pm.
The event was a statement for
the city of Lexington. which in
the past has missed out on some
of the larger events that often
headed for the bigger markets of
Louisville or Cincinnati.
“1 think this is a great thing for
the community as a whole." said

student.

For several UK students. it was
nothing more than a fancy way of
kicking off the academic year.

“This is great," business fresh-
man Jeremy Langley said.

“Everyone is partying and just
having a good time.“

The heat did get to some people.
The first aid stations were busy all
day with people suffering problems
from the heat. Promoters said more
than 200 people were treated during
the event.

For some people the heat was a
welcome addition to the day’s festiv-
ities.

“There's lots of music. lots of sun
and a lot of people. I‘m having a
great time.“ said Stefane White. a
pre-med freshman.

Whether Lexington can keep
events like this is anybody’s guess.
But how can 10.000 people be wrong.

Disputes
settle on
pizza deal

Despite protest from other
chains, UK says it will still
award contract to Papa John's

By Hallsll Bllaﬂl
surr more

After several weeks of lingering dis-
pute. the crust seems to have settled on the
Plus Account contract initiated by UK Food
Services.

In a statement issued to the disputing

companies, UK reiterated its decision to
grant exclusive rights to Papa John’s to ap-
ply the Plus Account for pizza purchase.
“The award stands with Papa John's."
said George DeBin. Vice President for Fis-
cal Aifairs. “We reviewed the entire
process and are very conﬁdent with the in-
tegrity of the process."
In April. UK Food Services conducted
an informal survey of 220 students that
showed Papa John's to be the favorite
brand. receiving 44 percent of the vote. The
other participants in the bidding war in
cluded Pizza Hut. Domino's and Mad Mush-
room.

Several factors such as menu. price.
commission paid to UK and the vendor‘s
ability to handle high volume sales were
considered in awarding the contract.

The controversy isn't over yet.

“We plan to appeal the decision." said
Thomas Bullock. attorney for Domino's
and Mad Mushroom.

In a formal protest filed in July. Bul»
lock said UK‘s decision-making process
was riddled with discrepancies. For in-
stance. the evaluators did not go through
the mandatory inspections, and put too
much emphasis on student preference. he
said.

“Our position has not changed even in
light of the reasons set forth in the denial
by UK.“ he said.

But UK is going full steam ahead to put
finishing touches on the new payment 0p-
tion.

“We are working out some difficulty
about social security numbers being given
off campus.” DeBin said.

Instead. UK was considering the use of

only the last four digits since that would
not violate student privacy. he said.
DeBin stressed the fact that students
retained the option of ordering from any
delivery chain. because the contract mere
ly affected the use of the Plus Account.

Although the exact date for the new
system was not assigned. DeBin said UK
was working with Papa John‘s to clear any
bumps in the implementation of the bid.

“We are doing everything possible to
get this done as soon as possible." he said.

Garage sale
attracts UK
students

International students hunt
for cheap bargains during
weekend shopping spree

By Jessica Coy
NiNS EDITOR

Garage sales. An American tradition
for bargain-hunting and treasurefinding.

At least that's what 20 international
students thought when they went garage-
sale hopping Saturday in search of a good
deal.

“This is fun; there is a little bit of
everything here." said ﬁrst-year marketing
graduate student Gaelle Duret. “Every—
thing here is so cheap."

Finding cheap but practical things for
the students was the idea behind the garage
sale tour.

Bill and Nancy Franklin. a Lexington
couple who hosted an international student
for two years. helped organize the event.

”My husband and I go garage sale-ing
every Saturday. and just thought the stu-
dents would enjoy it," Nancy said. “it‘s also
