The Biological Aspect Of Mr. Average
Jitterbug Discussed By Expert
“Jitterbugology” Termed As
Disease By College Professsor
(ACP)— BERGEN JUNIOR COLLEGE —The advent
of the jitterbug into modern society has caused many ex
perts to go in pursuit of the basic actions that brings on
what many terms a disease, the jitterbug disease.
After considerable research on
the “disease,” Clifford H. Coles
of Bergen Junior College here,
has issued the following report:
“The poison may cause a sud
den reaction in the body, in which
case the individual, without any
warning symptoms, is thrown
abruptly into the throes of the
disease, or the reaction may slow
ly build up to full vigor, requiring
a month or more completely to
possess the victim.
“The poison apparently is car
ried to all parts of the body by
the bloodstream and seems to af
fect certain of the endocrine
glands, notably the adrenal and
parathyroid.
“The stimulation of the adrenals
results in unusual strength, dar
ing and endurance, characteristic
of the symptoms of this malady.
The stimulation of the parathyroid
gland results in excessive nervous
activity as is shown by the jittery
convulsions and paroxims of. the
body. This condition bears some
resemblance to the advanced stag

es of the disease commonly known
as St. Vitus Dance.
“One hopeful observation I have
made is that the disease is rarely
fatal. Most victims seem able
gradually to throw off the poison,
although this may take several
years.
“During the height of the dis
turbances, however, the effects
generally are detrimental. Most
afflicted individuals seem entire
ly unable to concentrate for any
appreciable length of time on their
studies. Asa result these folks
grow' to maturity with pitifully
undeveloped mentalities. Peculiar
ly enough, the bodily develop
ment seems none the worse for
this toxic condition. On the con
trary, the muscles, especially in
the back, legs and arms, usually
are firm and well developed.
“The agonizing contritions and
unintelligible exclamations, the
latter being evidently secondary
effects, produce a heart-rendering
effect upon the victims’ parents
and elderly relatives.”

Date Of Annual Seen
“Most of the copy and photos
for the 1939 annual have gone to
press,” announced Helen Mitchell,
editor of the Chieftain. “By going
to press early,” she continued,
“The annual will be ready for the
students by the middle of May.”
The editor also stated that there
would be more interesting fea
tures, including group pictures of
the faculty. This year’s annual
contains only a few more pages
than the previous annuals, but it
contains more material since all
possible space is utilized.
Reports from Tom Luck, busi
ness manager, assert that he and
his staff have collected a larger
number of advertisements than
were collected heretofore.
Students From

“Does Georgia Need a New Con
stitution?” was the question dis

dents here from Emory on the

of Bacon ton, Georgia, and Walter
Hunter of Quitman, Georgia.

DEVOTED TO THE

as parents of students will be pre
sent. This group will be addressed

lanta. Following this address will

Sonth Called
A Province
“The Southern people are satis
fied to remain serfs under an ex
isting system,” said President I. S.
Ingram in a chapel address be
fore the student body Friday,
March 31.
Solution Is Within
“The South is a province,” Presi
dent Ingram further said, “A part
of a country that to ever overcome
its adversities it must have anew
evaluation from within.” Mr. In
gram gave as an example of our
provincial status the statement that
Southern people in industry were
usually employed by industries
controlled by Eastern corporations.
Objectives Outlined
The solution of this problem,
Mr. Ingram said, will have to be
accomplished by the realization
of three main objectives. The
objectives outlined by Mr. Ingram
were, (1) education of Southern
people, (2) preparation of each
individual for a specific job, and
(3) the creation of a desire in each
Southerner to contribute to the
well being of the South.
