The Veterans of Future Wars, an organization of students with 1A draft status, has been revived on the Princeton campus. At a meeting Tuesday night in the senior room of the Nassau Tavern over a hundred Princeton undergraduates banded together behind a program which calls for a $1,000 government bonus to all potential draftees.
