“E-mail is obviously the easiest way to get out to people,” Powell said. “At the same time, it doesn’t pack a whole lot of punch behind it.”

Tapia said HRL is putting up its second round of posters today.

“The more posters are torn down, the quicker they are being put back up,” Tapia said.

“We’re hoping to organize in such a way this year so that we can fight it a little better. So the first step, for us, is to try to contact the senior House tutors,” said Powell, an Eliot resident who e-mailed his senior tutor about the removal of HRL posters.

HRL members, however, said they have come to expect vandalism of their posters.

“I think our posters have attracted a lot more attention than any poster campaign in recent years,” said Laura E. Openshaw ’04, HRL vice-president. “This is not an abortion issue, this is not a Harvard Right to Life issue, this is a free speech issue,” she said.
