if your lucky, the theme you are using may have settings to allow for that.
Unfortunately, if the theme does not allow for this and you are no PHP guru, you will either have to pay for someone to sort this, learn PHP yourself, or just accept it is what it is.

In order for a jquery accordion to work the article content would have to be there in the first place... Which it isn't.

This is what the OP is actually asking for (I think...)?

This page looks like you are using an "archive loop"
take a look at the template you are using for this page and replace the loop with a simple default wordpress loop like this one

It looks as though your using a custom template so the answers not quite as simple as it might be most custom templates have a user control panel were you can control such things.
Alternatively you would have to modify one of your template files which file exactly varies from theme to theme
