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.
The original V.F.W., conceived in 1936, on the New Jersey campus, had a similar goal with the slogan of "America for Americans."
"What we're after," founder David G. Colwell, Princeton '51 says "Is compensation while we're still around to enjoy it." According to the Daily Princetonian, the first V.F.W. was "the most publicized thing to come out of Princeton since Woodrow Wilson."
