PRESENTATION ON DATE-RAPE SLATED AT SLU

CANTON - Katie Koestner, an outspoken survivor of date-rape 
and a sexual assault prevention advocate, will give a talk 
called "No/Yes" on Wednesday, February 20, at 8 p.m. in Gulick 
Theatre at St. Lawrence University. The event is open to the 
public, free of charge; her talk will be followed by a 
question-and-answer session.
	In 1993, Koestner completed a project for HBO's "Lifestories" 
docu-drama series, titled "No Visible Bruises: The Katie Koestner 
Story," and detailing her 1990 assault. She has discussed the 
incident, which occurred while she was a student at the College 
of William and Mary, on a number of television and radio programs 
and with numerous newspapers and magazines. Koester's advocacy 
led Congress, and later President George H.W. Bush, to pass the 
Campus Sexual Assault Victim's Bill of Rights into law, in 1992. 
She has written for a number of educational books about campus 
safety issues.
