Frohnmayer to accept
public service award
School of Law Alumni Associa
tion will present its first award for
public service today to University
President Dave Frohnmayer dur
ing the association’s annual dinner
in Portland.
Assistant Director of Communi
cations for the law school Eliza
beth Schmidkunz said the Frohn
mayer family demonstrated
commitment to public service,
which inspired the association to
create the award.
An association representative
notified Frohnmayer about the
award three weeks ago. He said he
was immediately surprised.
“I am very touched to be the first
recipient of this award,” he said.
Oregon Court of Appeals Judge
and former University law Profes
sor David Schuman will present
the award during a reception cere
mony at the group’s annual dinner.
Frohnmayer helped Schuman get
his first job as a lawyer, and the
two have worked together through
out their careers.
Schmidkunz said future recipi
ents of the award do not have to
be law school alumni. She said
the recipient’s commitment to
public service is the most impor
tant factor.
“They have to be committed to
increasing public good in the
Northwest,” Schmidkunz said.
The event begins at 6 p.m. at the
Portland Embassy Suites.

Saturday Market
to begin 33rd season
The sweet smell of spring will
waft through the air as Eugene’s
Saturday Market begins its 33rd
season Saturday.
The oldest open-air crafts mar
ket in the United States features a
music showcase, two dozen food
booths and nearly 200 local arti
sans selling their wares. The mar
ket will open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
each Saturday and run through
mid-November.
Market organizers said they
made minor infrastructure changes
over the winter, including a new
credit-card machine and speakers
for the soundstage.
“We tend not to mess with the
basic formula,” said Kim Still, Sat
urday Market promotions manag
er. “It’s worked for 33 years.”
The Saturday Market also shares
space with the Lane County Farm
ers’ Market, where people can buy
fresh produce, herbs and starter
plants. Both markets occupy the
park blocks of Eighth Avenue and
Oak Street.
Weather forecasters predict a
chance of showers Saturday, but
Still said the market employs a
marimba band as a good luck
charm to keep away the rain. In
her ten years’ experience at the
Market, Still said the sun has ap
peared each time a marimba band
plays at the soundstage.
“It’s very weird,” she said. “The
marimba band rolls up and hauls
out their instruments and the sun
comes out.”
Zambuko Marimba appears on
the soundstage at 3 p.m.
