The BGLSTA, which discussed the event at a board meeting last night, has not yet decided whether it will host an alternative event or attend the SLLR convocation, according to vice-chair David A. Campbell '00.

But the advertising for the event itself has already sparked controversy at HLS.

After the SLLR put up posters at HLS several days ago, other posters mimicking them appeared.

"It was essentially the same poster with different words looking like it was put out by the organization that put out the original poster," said Michael J. Chmura, a news officer at HLS.

According to Penney, the mock poster replaced all instances of "homosexuality" with "Judaism."

"It was clear that it attempted to point out precisely how ridiculous [the original posters] were," he said.

Penney said that his organization has had nothing to do with the second set of posters.

Dean of the Faculty of Law Robert C. Clark responded to the mock posters with a letter sent to all HLS students.

"This behavior is not acceptable and has no place in the University, the Law School or the legal profession," Clark said in the letter. "It is important that differing points of view be debated here, but the debate must be carried out in a civilized manner."

The letter also warned students that tearing down, altering and mimicking posters is an offense subject to disciplinary action.

Following the letter, the Harvard Law School Civil Liberties Union put up a poster of its own asserting that "Dean Clark Wants to Control Your Thoughts."

"After reading Dean Clark's letter of September 24, we can only conclude that parodies are no longer permitted at Harvard Law School. (And that Dean Clark doesn't understand the parody)," the poster said. "Welcome to 1984."

The SLLR, which according to Burt, focuses on "pro-life, religious liberties and pro-family values," has not yet released the details of the October 10 event
