to do business in the ra< inlh segregated nation
hastily.
"Before we went to South Africa to open an
office, we talked to South Africans.' Massengale
said. "I just came hack from there and 1 talked to
just about everybody under the sun
"We haven't gotten anv feedback from any group
in South Africa that we're premature, and they nil
know we re there, including the African National
Congress." he said, referring to the primary black
led group working to end whites-onlv rule
Massengale said the ANC is expe< ted to issue a
worldwide call for lifting of sum turns against
South Africa within the next month or two. after
a date has been set for universal elections in the
nation.
But Marjorie Prince, head of a task force on
Southern Africa with the Church Council of
('.renter Seattle, said Microsoft's move sends the
wrong message
"To do business in South Africa prematurely, as
Microsoft is. only strengthens the apartheid appa
ratus and makes demoi racy and pe.u e more diffi
cult to achieve," she said
"The African National Congress and the Con
gress of South African Trade Unions want the anti
apartheid community in the United States to keep
tfic pressure on." Prince said "Apartheid is still
killing people, and (ANC leader) Nelson Mandela
still can't vote "

companies that do business in South Afric a as long
as they subsc ribe to the Statement of Print iples.

Brand smiled "Hi* learned a lot in one day,” fie said
Brand's main tasks as a student were to attend a class at the library
on using computer databases and act as chair of the social commit
tee for the Theta (.'hi fraternity
"I had to call off some of the parties," fie said. "I enjoyed meeting
the guys at the fraternity. I was impressed with how serious they were
about their studies. Wo talked alxiut sports and ufiout Measure 5 They
seemed well-informed."
Dichter said he didn't make any sweeping changes during lus one
day reign. "I don't know what 1 would change," lie said He turned
to some friends who had joined him at the table, and they made some
•suggestions: lower tuition, move toward a more multii ultural i ur
riculum, and open doors for a more diverse i ampus.
"Everyone 1 worked with was enthusiastic about the t Jniversity and
wants to see it run better," Dichter said. "I always had the miscon
ception that administrators just sat behind their desks and got angry
about budget cuts."
Dichter. who preferred to be called "President Donovan," thought
die president's job was hard work and doing it every dav would "take
some getting used to."
Brand, however, said lie-had a fun day and couldn't wait to do it
again.
"I liked learning something that was just for me, not for the insti
tution," he said. "1 always look forward to this.”

Dichter and Brand lifted their glasses in a toast to each other at the
end of tin* day "It was just a normal dav," Dichter said, “except
that I was presidem "
