Dear Fifteen Minutes,

We accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Wednesday morning in Lowell for whatever it is we did wrong, but we think you're crazy for making us do an interview telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us, in the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions. But what we found out, is that each one of us is a brain, and an athlete, and a princess, and a criminal. Does that answer your question? Sincerely yours,   The Breakfast Club

Cast of characters:

The Brain- Gautam Mukunda `01

The Athlete- Neil C. Magnuson `99

The Princess- E. Emy Hancock `00

The Criminal- Tom H. Elke `00

FM: Have you all seen the movie, "The Breakfast Club"?

All: Yes.

Gautam: No, somehow I always have planned to see it--I haven't tried very hard, obviously.

Tom: He's a communist.

FM: So, did any of you ever get detention in high school?

Tom: Yes, twice. The first time because my math teacher was writing on the blackboard and her butt was kind of jiggling and I was laughing. It was freshman year. The girl next to me asked me why I was laughing and I told her and she started laughing too. Then the rest of the class started laughing and Ms. Debil turned around and stared at us and everyone stared at me and she said, "Tom, what is going on?" and I said, "Everyone is laughing because your butt was jiggling."

FM: And the second time?

Tom: The other time I put a girl in a garbage can because she said I was particularly ugly that day.
