Frohnmayers mourn relatives
■ German relatives of the
University president are killed
in a European plane crash
By Andrew Adams
Oregon Daily Emerald
University President Dave Frohn
mayer and his wife Lynn received
word Sunday that several members
of their extended family in Ger
many died as they were returning
from France in their private plane.
Lynn Frohnmayer said her family
was “utterly devastated” upon hear
' ing the news that two of their German
relations had been killed when their
plane went down near Lyon, France.
Dave Frohnmayer is currently in
Washington, D.C. and could not be
reached for comment.
The only information she had is
that the plane crashed, Frohnmay
er said, and all aboard were killed.
Victims of the crash included the
University President’s cousin
Heinz Frohnmayer, also the plane’s
pilot, and his teenage son, Paul, as
well as another young woman.
Dave Frohnmayer’s parents met
the European relatives when they
were traveling through the family’s
ancestral home of Goppingen, Lynn
Frohnmayer said. She said the two
Frohnmayer clans can trace their
roots back to the 15th century and
quickly renewed their family bonds.
“The two families became very
good friends,” she said.
The recent plane crash is espe
dally tragic for the German Frohn
mayers, she said, because the family
lost a daughter to a car accident a
few years earlier.
Paul Frohnmayer had lived with
the Frohnmayers in Eugene last
year, and the loss of such an “in
credible young man” was extremely
hard to take, Frohnmayer said. She
said Paul had stayed with the family
while he attended South Eugene
High School and had excelled at
golf, tennis and soccer.
She said even though German had
been his native language, he had easi
ly mastered English and was at the
top of most of his high school classes.
“He was exceedingly intelligent,”
she said. “He became a very cher
ished part of our family.”

and financially able to go to col
lege,” she said.
But Deckert said that in contrast
to Georgia’s scholarship, the Oregon
bill would also consider students’
financial well-being to ensure that
the scholarship only benefits those
coming from lower- and middle
class families.
Deckert also said alternatives for
the scholarship’s funding have been
looked at, such as using money from
the state’s unemployment insurance
to ensure that the scholarship would
n't take money away from need
based grants.
Amy Scholerman, an OS A board
member and senior at Western Ore
gon University, said that instead of
working on merit-based programs,
the state should focus on ensuring
that all students eligible for the need
based grant get money and that it
should also increase the amount of
need-based money granted.
As a low-income single parent, Sc
holerman has struggled to pass her
classes and work at the same time.
And because of the lack of state fund
ing, her need-based grant only covers
two terms of the year. As tuition in
creases, she has to work even harder
to make up for the loss, she said.
“Books and living expenses are
increasing, and the need-based
grant hasn’t kept up,” she said.
Currently the bill states that if a
student is granted money from both
the HOPE scholarship program and
the Oregon Need grant, the scholar
ship will be paid with funds from
the opportunity grant.
Melissa Unger, ASUO legislative
organizer, said she is concerned
about this part of the bill because
students with lower incomes who
need federal funding would not be
helped by the HOPE scholarship.
ButDeckert said he plans to amend
that part of the bill. He said he would
make the HOPE scholarship and the
need-based Oregon Opportunity
grant be two separate entities, so one
would not affect the other.
The Senate Education Committee
will discuss the bill later this week
and vote on whether or not it should
get passed on to the Committee on
Ways and Means.
