History shows that the virus began with the founding of two senior honorary organizations. It has become a tradition for these organizations to select their suc cessors from the junior class. This not only causes the Jitters, but also serves as its only true cure one which takes an entire day. When the crisis is past, all former sufferers celebrate with the "doctors" Ivy Day evening. Even though there is only one cure for the ailment, there are several sure preventatives. One. an unfortunate one. is a sickness called Scholarship Slip-Up.

SC Rejects ROTC Group Constitution Sudent Council rejected a mo tion made last week to approve the constitution of the Nebraska Military Association, a Univer sity ROTC organization. The constitution was rejected because of one provision which re quired a mandatory $1.00 to be paid at the time of registration by all military science students. The money collected was ,to be used in helping finance the Mili tary Ball. Several Council members voiced the opinion that many students undoubtedly would not want to pay the $1.00 because they did not plan to attend the ball. According to Eldon Park, the constitution may be revised by the association and then be submitted for another hearing before the Council.
