Student works to add U NC to national activist network ' By JO LEE CREDLE ; Staff Writer ; Students here have one very val- uable tool: time." Time is what ; law student Joel Segal of Char- lotte feels will be a major asset to j the National Student Movement he ; is trying to organize. The group was conceived at a conference held at Rutgers Univer- sity in February, where 600 students from all over the United States gathered to organize the movement. Segal led a workshop at the confer : ence about the anti-apartheid can- ' dlelight vigils that he has held here i in Chapel Hill. Although the group has not yet adopted an official con stitution or an official name, its pur pose is to be a support group for the established progressive groups on campus. "We are attempting to organize national student chapters on each campus," Segal said. "Wherever ! there are powers to be reckoned '. with, we are going to reckon with them. Each semester, the group will '. address two major issues a national international issue and a '. local issue. This semester, it plans to '. protest against Reagan's "Star ' Wars" program and lobby for day care for working mothers in North 'Carolina. Lobbying legislation and writing .'letters to congressmen are the methods the group will use to pro mote action. "The legislation is not responding to the greater needs of 'the greater population of this nation," Segal said. Group members will be required to commit two to three hours a week to the group's activities. Segal said he was looking for "activist minded people who don't mind working." The group supports Campus Calendar The DTH Campus Calendar is a daily listing of University-related activities sponsored by academic departments, student services and student organizations offi cally recognized by the Division of Student Affairs.

MI don't want to work with people who don support people's rights," Segal said. Segal feels that the group's main approach to protesting issues will be through the education of college stu dents and the general public about what is going on around them. "I am an activist, but I go about things in a different manner. What we have right now are people who are apa thetic about becoming involved in political issues that mean a lot to them." His hope is to provide a group where people can go and voice their opinions, knowing that they will be heard. The group will be multi-racial and each meeting will be "moderated by a person of color. We want to have a black adviser and a white adviser for the group," Segal said. Harold Wallace, vice chancellor of University affairs, supports the group and is now searching for an adviser to help with the group's efforts, according to Segal. To raise money for the group, Segal hopes to have a "Dollar Day" fund-raiser. Students could donate $1 if they wish to support the issues the group is presenting. The group will also be canvassing door to door to raise money, as well as canvassing professors for support. Segal's ideas are not limited to working with the National Student Movement. On weekends, he prac tices with a bi-racial "funk band," for which he writes songs and plays bass. Another issue close to his heart is discrimination against black musi cians. He is trying to organize a sup port group for black musicians at N.C. Central University. Segal has been involved with acti Union 224. Women's Forum will meet in Room 206 of the Campus Y.

She will speak on The Global Environment" in vist politics since age 12 when he began protesting with a Jewish youth group in Charlotte. At 17, he protested with an anti-nuclear arms group. But he said he had become a full-time activist only during the last three years. When he was younger, Segal wanted to be a rabbi, but his sights changed to humor writer, NBA bas ketball player and then to profes sional musician. "Yet all the while, I knew I wanted to go into law." Cur rently, he writes a humor column for the law school newspaper. He will receive his law degree in May, and he is interested in juvenile reha bilitation programs. After graduation, Segal has his sights set on politics. "I would like to be a senator someday. I believe that this is basically a great country, but it's got serious problems." He wants to work inside the govern mental system and effect changes from within. "The most important thing for me right now," Segal said, "is to organ ize students nationally with educa tion and protest efforts. But I want to start here in Chapel Hill and the Triangle area." The first protest is scheduled for April 1 when the group will protest the "Star Wars" issue. Another protest against apart heid government in South Africa is tentatively scheduled for April 4, on the anniversary of Martin Luther King's assassination. Also, on April 23, the group plans to protest contra aid in Central America. "These issues were just so pressing that I had to do something about them," Segal said.

Only one week until Spring Break. And for those lucky enough to be headed to some tropical para dise, it is high time to get a swim suit. Swimwear fashion is ever changing year to year, just as reg ular fashion. This year holds sev eral new surprises. Sports Illustrated unveiled its annual swimsuit issue on Feb. 15. The goddess-like models depicted a variety of looks to "suit" every person (particularly if that person is male.) Some of the more unusual looks include several suits which look more like shirts. Designers have added sleeves and collars and have used such fabrics as simple ribbed cotton and lace. Another popular suit this year appears to be the thong suit, which provides only a small strip . of fabric across the rear. This is generally accompanied by only two thin straps across the back. A more conservative use of this "G-string" effect has been used by designers to create one-piece suits that are actually made up of two pieces of fabric and bikinis that are made up of three pieces. The main part of the suit is generally one color with the small strip of fabric in the back under which can be worn a black or dark colored pair of briefs. "We carry a three-piece suit that is designed for fun in the sun and workout in the gym," said Shelton Henderson, owner of The Shrunken Head Boutique. The suit bottom has a strip of fabric attached to it that can be scrunched down or rolled up to cover more of the stomach area. It also comes with a tank and bandeau top. "If you're laying out and you want to play volley ball, go jogging or grab a ham burger, you are set to go," says Henderson. Another popular fabric this year is neoprene, the material that scuba wetsuits are made of. These suits are often built with zippers, just like scuba suits. "The one drawback of this fabric is that it is expensive," said Billy Dillon, owner and manager of The Beach Connection. Neoprene suits can cost anywhere from $60-$120. Shimmery or metallic fabrics are making an appearance in America after having been big in 5 Europe for the past few years. W mjuy Salt. It's responsible for a lot more than seasoning your food.
