Favorite sthlete: Can I have a favorite "almost athlete"? If so, it would have to be you, Elliott. Otherwise, I would have to say Michael Jordan or Maritsa Christoudias.



On this, the twentieth day of November, 2002, the complaint letters about Seven Questions can stop. Hillary Dunn is an athlete, and a good one at that. She is the captain and lone senior on the women's basketball team. Last season, Dunn led the NESCAC in assists, with 118. During her down time, Dunn can be found in her blue house living with three former women's basketball players. Big shout out to Erin Harrington, Emily Goodman, and Sarah Conlon, but Dunn is the only member of the household who will be found on the court this season, so naturally seven questions followed.

1. Is there any formal statement you would like to issue to Daniel Fowler after creating an article with the corny headline, "Hillary Dunn cracked the century mark" commemorating your 100th assist last season?



Well I do think that he jinxed me with his predictions that I would break the school's single season assist record last season... but as for the headline, with a last name like mine, I have heard MUCH worse, such as "A Dunn deal" or "Job well Dunn."



>2. Do you feel like the sole minority character in any given episode of Friends by being the only senior on the women's basketball team this season?



A little bit, but we are all friends and get along really well. I need to annoy Poop and Buck by adding this comment: I want to marry Ross.



3. I know coach Berube refuses to call Maritsa Christoudias by her nickname Poop, how do you as the team captain feel on the issue?



Wait, her real name isn't Pooppee? That's news to me.



4. I like to tease you about how I think you aren't down for the "cause." Care to tell the story you like to tell to prove you are?



Elliott, I am down for the "cause," but I will not date you. Sorry. Please stop trying to hook up with my entire team! As for my old boyfriends, if anyone really wants to know, they can ask you all about them.



5. I noticed you almost pull up for a jump shot when you are taking a lay-up, any particular reason?



I have some problems with my right foot. It hurts less when I jump stop to take a lay-up.



6. I asked center Erin Buckley for your phone number yesterday afternoon and she gave me your home number. Imagine my surprise when your stern-voiced father answered the phone and gave me the 6th degree when I asked for you. Is your father the kind of man that breaks the bones of male callers?



Well my dad is a retired United States Postal Inspector (no one ever knows what that is, but he did carry a gun) so he is a little dangerous. Elliott, don't worry, I'll introduce you to him at a game. He is nice, funny and one of our most dedicated fans.



7. Now that Erin Harrington and Emily Goodman no longer play for the team, do you think they will invest in some pom-poms and join the cheerleading squad?



I would pay to see those two in those little outfits. Considering I live with both of them, I think I can drag them to a game or two.
