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.
