    Fran Shields, Athletic Director

    Ben Schachtel Perched atop a tall bookshelf in the corner, a mud-caked hat seemed out of place. The rest of the office was clean, save for a veritable mountain of paperwork on the desk. The man who had been sitting across the table from me had risen now and was walking towards the hat, which, [...]

Conn students are perhaps most familiar with Hodges Square as a one stop-shop for booze, be it at “Hodges,” or for the younger crowd, “Universal.” (Boy, free Bud Light posters featuring scantily clad cowgirls and the occasional gift of a Four Loko sure do make it worth the trip!)
