The original tiger statue was located on the lawn outside Cook Library, a heav-ily- trafficked area on campus. In a meeting with Towerlight editors, Caret said there is a good amount of movement at the new location as well. Caret said the location was selected because the statue would be visible to stu-dents as well as passersby on York Road. Officials also considered placing the tiger Rachel Frederick Assistant News Editor Towson ProLife brought the �Genocide Awareness Project,� a photomural of aborted fetuses, to the center of campus Tuesday and Wednesday, spurring a coun-ter demonstration by pro-choice advocates. Voices were raised as support-ers of the two sides debated. From 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. pictures of aborted fetuses were placed next to historically recognized forms of genocide. Students turned their heads and curiously watched the demonstration at the Speaker�s Circle outside of Hawkins Hall. �I am here to proclaim the rights of the vulnerable life. The ones who can�t speak,� Nicole Chandler, president of Towson ProLife, said. �Genocide is a group of people that demean a certain class to make them lesser. Take vulnerable babies [for example].� Katie Speirs, a senior women�s studies major, responded with a dictionary definition of geno-cide. �Genocide is the systematic killing of a religious, political, or cultural group. We are not forcing women to abort their babies,� she said. �Women are getting brutally murdered because they feel they can�t have an abortion. If you think abortion should be illegal, what is your group doing? How will you educate people?� The pro-life activists generally stayed in the area of the Speaker�s Circle, distributing literature and wearing T-shirts with the mes-sage �abortion kills babies.� A couple also filmed GAP by scan-ning the crowd and interviewing people from both sides of the issue. The footage was broadcast live on www.prolifenews.tv and the event is archived on the Web site. The pro-choice activists coun-ter- protested at the stairs near the Lecture Hall with handwrit-ten signs stating �Keep your laws off my body� and �Against abor-tion? Don�t have one! It�s your choice.� Abortion protests attract attention Patrick Smith/The Towerlight Junior Pat Healey, above right, celebrates the Tigers� second goal of the game Wednesday afternoon (See story, page 28).
