WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1961 Students Revive 'Button Wearing' The Old campus custom of wearing campaign buttons was brought back to the University yesterday when the Block "S" club began selling "Fight on State" buttons. The buttons, which sell for 10 cents, are an "attempt to re juvenate the spirit of the Penn State student", Robert Dufner, president of the club said. The buttons which are 2 1 / 4 inches in diameter with blue letters on a white background will be on sale this week at the Hetzel Union desk and the Book Ex change, Dufner explained. Free "Squash the Orange" cards for the Syracuse game can also be obtained at these places, he added. Last year the Block "S" club sold "Lick 'em Lions" buttons during the football season. The slogan was changed this year be cause "Fight on State" is "more in line with the Penn State tradi tion," Dufner said. "Lick 'em Lions" wasn't the only button evident last year since wearing campaign buttons was in.
