SVA Committee Chairmen: Standing: Rodney Lewis, Donald Freidel. Seated: Co- Director Jane Cohen, Faculty Advisor Mr. Miller, Co-Director Mark Rhynsburger. STUDENT VOLUNTEER ASSOCIA TION The Student Volunteer Association founded this year is the most important organi- zation to be founded at Rhodes to date. The functions of the SVA this year were more or less limited because of the newness of the organization, and for that reason Mark Rhynsburger, President of the Junior Class, was named Co-Director of the SVA along with Senior Class Vice President Jane Cohen. The operations of the SVA included a Big Brother and Big Sister Organization, which, under the Chairmanship of Don Freidel, attempted to orient incoming Rhodesters into the intricacies of life at Rhodes. The Big Brothers and Sisters got in touch with their charges before the Spring Term began, and were ready to meet them on a specially appointed orientation day. The members also acted as ushers at various school functions and assemblies. How- ever, the main purpose of the SVA this year was to build for the future. A great deal of effort and expense the school would normally have to undertake can now be placed upon the head of the SVA. The force for school unity and spirit this organization represents is tremendous. Mr. Miller, who helped found the SVA, is tremendously excited about the future of the SVA. He sees this future as an active and constructive one. The co-directors this year are also enthusiastic about the future of the SVA, and hope that the Association's programs will be greatly expanded in the future.
