During the rush to close the 1987 legislative session, a safety belt use law
finally emerged. There has been some confusion about the contents of the
law and what relationship it has to the 65 MPH speed limit on rural inter
state freeways. Here are some answers to those questions.:
• The safety belt use law and the 65 MPH speed limit on rural interstate
freeways are separate pieces of legislation.
• Both laws go into effect on September 27th of this year.
• The safety belt use law will be on the ballot on November 8, 1988 At
that time the people of Oregon will decide whether or not to keep the
Rape — still one of the most
underreported crimes in the U S.
an other problems of sexual assault
will be the focus of examination
when more than 700 people gather
July 22 25 at the Portland Hilton for
the Ninth Annual Conference of the
National Coalition Against Sexual
Assault (NCASA).
The Oregon event will feature
more than 70 workshops, institutes,
and other events addressing the
theme "Confronting the Violence:
Our Work, Our Struggle, Our Vi
sion, Our Future," according to
NCASA President Fern Y. Fergu
son.
The Ninth Annual NCASA Con
ference opens on Wednesday,
July 22, with the "Women of Color
Institute," a day long forum featur
ing panels, discussions, and social
events designed for women of parti
cular ethnic identities to address
cultural concerns associated with
rape. The Women of Color Caucus
from the Oregon Coalition Against
Domestic and Sexual Violence is
helping coordinate this institute.
Other highlights of the four-day
conference include a healing insti
tute for victims/survivors, a speak
out on sexual assault, a Take Back
the Night March (in cooperation
with the Portland committee of the
same name), the President's key
note, and a long list of workshops
covering topics related to sexual
abuse.
The National Coalition Against
Sexual Assault was formed in 1979
