SWAVes Formed in the spring of ' 42 by boys, the Student War Activi- ties Volunteers were recognized as one of the first college volunteer units in the country. The purpose of this organization has been the better coordination of student activities during the war. SWAVes is directed by the Student War board, officers of which are elected on the basis of interest and participation. Twice a year all organizations on campus send representatives to a meet- ing of the Student War Council to coordinate the various war activi- ties planned for the year into a unified program. In their three and a half years on campus the SWAVes have sponsored war stamp sales, the campus U.S.O., and scrap drives. But not all their time has been spent on the campus; in summer SWAVes have helped alleviate the farm labor shortage by send- ing students to the areas in need. There have also been settlement house work and O.P.A. checking to do. Canteen, Nurses-Aide, U.S.O., Nutrition, and Home Nursing, courses have been organized by this, the first eastern college Red Cross unit; also a regular program of hospital work for those with less time. As a contribution to the war itself, SWAVes purchased a jeep in the summer of 1943, sent one-third of the money to buy an ambulance, and helped in conducting a drive which sent three parachutes to the air corps. Much has been done. But the SWAVes would have us remember that while the war lasts we cannot rest on past accomplishments. There is still work to be done!
