Button Wars Underway

Button Wars have begun! To participate this fun RHA program, send your name to Nathan Fears at fears5@missouristate.edu and get an RHA button from him. The goal is to be the last person standing by wearing the button more than anyone else participating. Participants must be wearing their button to get someone out, if you get someone out it must be reported to Nathan Fears, and no one can get out when they are on their floor, while playing sports, if they are off-campus, or when in formal settings. Additional rules and current standings may be found at the Button Wars facebook event.
