these theseses

Rachel Gray got double-d for her saucy little explanation of why a state cannot secede; Patty-Mac got a little flustered but wound up doing a decent job of discussing why Raskolnikov, typifying the modern man, can (or, was) only be saved through love..... but I think the most entertaining was Big John Almeida's showdown with Berquist. John said that Aristotle should've had some account of the ecosystem in the part of the Physics that says nature acts for an end. Berquist said "He discussed it plenty in Parts of Animals. Did you read that?" Silence. Finally, "No. But he should have said it, or at least alluded to it in this part of the Physics." Ok. Then Berqusit went on about an oak tree losing acorns, few of which will ever become oaks, but they are still meant to be, per se, oak trees, etc., etc. After the defense, Rosie Finley asked Almeida why he thought Berquist was the only tutor not to shake his hand. "Is it because you were attacking Aristotle?" "No," John replied with a straight face, "It's because I shoved his oak tree analogy ***censored***"
