If the DNA Swabs were for the student's use only and it was 100% optional then I think it would be okay. Some college students would want to know how much alcohol they can safely consume. But if the tests were done as mandatory, or as the article says, as "a way of introducing incoming students to their classmates and to their college" then in that case I think it is a little wrong. No harm is coming to the student, but it still comes down to the fact that everyone should have the right to make that decision for themselves.
I could argue this either way. The article looks at the bigger picture and how it gives students the wrong idea when it comes to medical testing and such, however most kids are not going to see it that way. It's a very debatable and controversial topic and it's hard to determine what is right and what is wrong.
