Wiper is the middle contact of the potentiometer. On your volume control, there will be 4 pins: one is kinda by itself, and three are the pot itself with the two ends and the wiper. It "wipes" the internal resistive element, changing the resistance, hence the name.
On the sch it is usually the one with the arrow on it.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
