was wonderful to have it turn out
so well.”
After the family exchanged greet
ings, a thinner, paler Frohnmayer
stepped off the plane and friends
and co-workers cheered. He slow
ly made his way to the podium
hugging and shaking hands.
Friends wiped tears from their
eyes.
“It is very good to be home and
very good to s,ee you all,” the pres
ident said resuming his place in
front of the public and camera
lights.
“I plan to take it slowly,” he
said about his plans to work from
home for the first few weeks.
“It would be foolish to be hero
ic about this. I will listen to the
advice of my doctors,” he said.
Before being released from
Suburban Health Care Systems in
Bethesda, Frohnmayer received a
cardiac implant, which monitors
his heart rhythm and administers
an electrical shock if another ar
rhythmia occurs.
There was no heart damage
found during hospital testing,
but arrhythmias can be caused
by extreme stress.
Frohnmayer’s wife assured
that some lifestyle changes are in
order.
The last thing Frohnmayer re
members on the day he collapsed
at the National Institutes of
Health conference in Maryland
was falling down mid-sentence
and then seeing faces gathered
around him, he said.
Quick thinking and CPR is
what saved him, Lynn Frohn
mayer said.
“I am just feeling that we are ex
tremely lucky he was clever
enough to do this in a room full of
doctors,” she said.
• There is a larger purpose for
things and if you only have a cer
tain number of minutes, hours or
days you need to use them well,
the president said about his expe
rience.
His wife echoed his statements
as she asserted that every day
from Oct. 22 on is a gift.
Unfortunately, the Frohnmayers
have had more than their share of
family tragedies. Two of their
three daughters have died from
complications of Fanconi Anemia,
a rare blood disease. Katie died in
1991 at the age of 12 and Kirsten
died in 1997 at the age of 24.
Grievance

hands dirty helping the pro
grams,” Grzybowski said.
Gabbe said he did not hold “set
office hours” but did spend a more
than adequate amount of time in the
senate office during the summer.
Sen. Eric Pfeiffer, who serves as
the senate’s ombudsman or rules
person, said each senator received
$25 per month in the summer. He
added that he is also “99 percent
sure” all of the office hours were
not held.
All four of the summer-session
senators currently serve on this
year’s regular senate.
DePoe also objected to a summer
senate decision to give approxi
mately $400 to Family Housing, an
ASUO group that should not receive
funding from the incidental fee.
“Senators are responsible for
managing funds. If they cannot
manage funds, they shouldn’t be
senators,” DePoe wrote in her
grievance.
“We didn’t mean to make a mis
take,” said Timpany, who is also
Senate president.
Pfeiffer said Gabbe, as summer
session president, could solely be
held responsible for this breach of
regulations or the four senators
could be reprimanded by the ASUO
Constitution Court.
“It’s suspicious to say the least,”
Pfeiffer said.
Finally, DePoe claimed the senate
knowingly attempted to break state
revised statutes and senate rules last
week when they considered allocat
ing $463 into the Black Student
Union’s fund-raising budget.
According to the Green Tape
Notebook, title 9, section 13bA,
“fund raising, the purpose of which
is to generate funds for a purpose
that could not otherwise be funded
with incidental fees, is restricted.”
For a precedent, DePoe cited a
situation over the summer where
the ASUO asked for money in oth
er budget areas to be transferred
into fund raising and the senate
did not approve it.
Grzybowski said he didn’t un
derstand why DePoe filed a griev
ance on a decision that has yet to
be made and a rule he considers
vague. Timpany agreed, saying
that the senate did not approve the
BSU’s request.
“It does not clearly say we can
not allocate surplus money for
fund raising,” Grzybowski said.
Hamlin said DePoe had many
personal issues with some of the
summer-session senators, al
though he would not say which
ones. He added that he thought the
grievance seemed to be a personal
attack by DePoe.
Pfeiffer will finish the investiga
tion into the grievances within the
next few days. Then, he will deliv
er the Findings to the ASUO Con
stitution Court for a ruling. In re
gards to the funding of Family
Housing, Pfeiffer said he “will at
least recommend verbal repri
mand of Gabbe as summer chair
and possibly the other senators.”
