After graduating from her high school in Pennsylvania, Katie decided to go to a college in Virginia. At the beginning of the school year, Katie got together with her friends, and met a guy named Peter. He was very good looking and seemed nice. They started to see each other and went to dinner, where he asked her if she would go to his parent's house in Greece with him. He told her that there would be three rules to follow: that she had to drink, wear certain kinds of clothes, and the third was that she would have to participate in sexual intercourse with him whenever he wanted to. He played the last mandation off as a joke, and Katie found it odd but didn't think too much of it. He ordered champagne to the table, and she sipped a little, and later suggested that they go to her dorm room to dance. The night ended up with Peter trying to disrobe Katie, at which she adamantly refused. They began to argue, and Katie remained awake until 5 a.m. to keep the argument from going any further and to make sure he stayed asleep and away from her. At 5 a.m., Peter woke up and came closer to her. It was then that he raped her. She told him "no" many times, but he would not listen. In her talk, Katie pointed out that the most important message she could give to the men in the audience was that if just one, or at best, all of them could stand up and say "rape is wrong," then that would by far accomplish more than any of her talking could. Brett Sokolow then led the audience in an interactive jury case which began the lecture portion of the night. Katie was very inspiring, and the performance was incredibly educational. Handouts were avail- able to all students on subjects including advice on how to avoid date rape and sexual assault, how to deal with the feelings after an instance of sexual assault, how to prevent stranger rape, and how to help a friend or loved one who has been sexually assaulted. Suggestions for how men and women should avoid date rape include being alert of surroundings, not studying in an empty classroom, and being willing to make a scene when feeling threatened or uncomfortable. When nervous, approach security personnel, always avoid deserted parking lots, and empty laun- dry rooms and walk with a friend when it is absolutely necessary to approach such places. The lecture was sponsored by Athletics, Career and Personal Development Center, Residential Life and Student Activities. Jennifer Koziel/Edilor Katie Koestner, date-rape survivor and Brett Sokolow, a Higher Education Attorney who specializes in sexual assault issues. Jennifer Bishop gives lecture against death penalty By Jennifer Koziel Xavierite Editor On Monday, November 6, a lecture entitled "A Matter of Life and Death" was sponsored by the Catholic Student Association, Muslim Student Association and AFC Upper Room Association. Jennifer Bishop, a former Queen of Peace high school teacher, delivered a talk on her opposition to the death penalty. Her story began about ten years ago when her sister Nancy, brother-in-law Richard and their unborn baby were murdered. They lived in the wealthy suburb of Winnetka and had just gotten married. The couple was especially delighted when they found out they were going to be parents. They had Jennifer Bishop holding a picture of her deceased family. what was considered to be an ideal life. One night in April about ten years ago, Nancy and Richard were returning home from her father's -birthday party. When they opened the door, they were greeted by a sixteen-year-old high school student, David, who lived a few blocks away from the couple. He held a 357 magnum and a pair of handcuffs. David made them lie down on the floor and handcuffed them both. Nancy and Richard tried to reason with the teen to let them go, but were forced to go into the basement with him. There together, Nancy and Richard awaited their fate. David proceeded to shoot Richard in the back of the head. While Nancy sat there with his blood on her, David pointed the gun at Nancy's stomach with her baby inside and shot her. She tried to make it up the stairs, but failed when the teen shot her in the back. For thirty minutes Nancy was alive, and during that time she took her husband's blood and on the wall, she drew a heart with a U in the middle, which stood for "love you." According to Bishop, this is what Nancy stood for, love. She loved everyone. David told another student at his high school what he had done. Finally, the student came forward and told the police what David had told him. Death penalty continued on page 3
