EDITORIAL Our Pleasure Resort Weber has been called a "Pleasure Resort." She has probably been so termed because her students have a tendency to come to Weber for recreation as well as study. We are glad of this. We know that amusements are not carried to an extreme here at Weber. It is usually conceded that students need recreation, but it is probably rather new to some for the school to furnish this necessary element of education. When the students reach the point where they go to the lectures, attend the basketball games, and participate in the school and class socials, then they are beginning to get part of the Weber spirit. They will become enthusiastic with their work and they will express their patriotism in their studies. Moreover, it is absolutely essential that students form proper associations and spend their leisure time in beneficial enjoyment. This is accomplished by attending "Weber's Pleasure Resort." Only the best is found there. Let us not do away with our socials, but let us improve them. Let us get more of the students to realize an evening spent at school is better than one spent at a picture show. Let us keep our recreations up to Weber's standard and be proud of our "Pleasure Resort." Doing Things Differently To do things the way everybody else does them, is to follow the hum-drum road of mediocrity. Doesn't it make you feel small, though, to be told that something you have done is so common so much like it were done by most anybody? Yes, we've got to do things in a different way. We must act in a different way not unnaturally, but in such a manner that we show an individuality that stands for something better, bigger and more noble. Because other people do a thing, that is no excuse for our doing it: it is a much better reason why we ought not to do it. Certainly we have made mistakes. Now is the time to remedy them. The only way to correct a mistake in conduct is to climb up to something bigger, profit by our experiences, and ACORN 11 make our friends ashamed that they ever believed we were ourselves when we followed the common crowd. Do things differently; live up to your highest ideals; and in your efforts to rise above the common mistakes of life, by all means remember that you are still one of God's beloved common people. Blue Eyes vs. Brown Some people are so narrow minded that they cannot see anything but rubbish in their neighbor's back yard, and some people think they are better than others because they are born on a different part of the map. Don't let us have that spirit here at school. We are all mere people, after all. Moreover, we are all students of Weber, and not Debaters, Athletes, Class Officers or "Acorn" people. Is there any reason why a debater cannot support the "Acorn" or why a member of the "Acorn" staff cannot support his class? We see none. Let's quit knocking activities we are not particularly interested in, and join hands in our efforts to make Weber better. Forget that you're a Sophomore and go to the Senior Dance. See beyond the tip of your own nose. One Thing and Another Ever go to a remnant sale and see 'em have the odds and ends marked 'way down? I fancy I hear you say, "Yeou." Well, do you know why they sell 'em so cheaply? It's because they're not worth much; and when they want to clean things up, they use this means to get rid of 'em. Some of us students have a lot of worthless odds and ends in our think tanks. Let's clean house. Earl Pardoe told us just recently that constructive thoughts shape themselves into a haven of peace in which we ourselves shall find rest, and that purposeless ideas and mental rubbish form coral reefs that will eventually wreck our ship. Cut out the tom-foolery, and begin to learn things that count. Why dabble with studies just for the sake of credit, especially if such studies don't contribute to our future vocations and our personal needs? Decide what you want to know, and then study systematically.
