Agents of Improv is a performance-based organization at UConn that was formed in 2005 because there were few outlets to learn, practice, and perform improvisational comedy on campus. The organization is open to anyone who wants to try out the performance art. One of the group’s goals is to show students that in addition to UConn excelling in its academics and athletics, UConn also has a strong base in art and performance. Agents of Improv meets on Thursdays from 9PM to 11:30PM in room 304A in the Student Union.
Unfortunately, many individuals do not know how much time and effort the Undergraduate Student Government spends on creating the best experience for UCONN students. Every year a number of students, without compensation, dedicate themselves to this cause. A critical person in this effort is Yoana Yakova, who is the Chairperson of the Funding Board.
The Delta Chi Fraternity is a Greek fraternity on campus with 42 active members and 14 new associate members. The fraternity has been on campus since 1950.
I had the opportunity to speak to Mark Gaudette, who is this year’s President. Unlike many students who rush fraternities in their first year of school, Mark rushed during his sophomore year and rose to serve as President the following year. Mark says that joining the Delta Chi fraternity was one of the best decisions he has made at UCONN.
Alpha Epsilon Phi is a sorority at UCONN with 110 members. It is a relatively new chapter and in less than four years the organization has grown from 40 to 110 individuals. Last year the organization won highest GPA for spring 2010, outstanding external relations, and outstanding chapter management.

As the only college student in the USA Basketball player pool, UConn senior Maya Moore will have more to think about the next three weeks than helping her team win the world championships.
Moore, who has completed most of the requirements for her degree in sports media and promotion, is carrying 12 credits this semester; classes in sports law, sports management, sports in society and a research methods communications class.

SOUTHINGTON — Randy Edsall noticed it early in D.J. Hernandez’s career at UConn: Hernandez, who played both quarterback and wide receiver in his four years with the Huskies, wanted to know what all the other positions on the field were supposed to be doing on each play, as well.
“He was always a student of the game,” Edsall recalled. “He asked so many questions, wanted to know why. He wanted to be a coach, no question about that.”

The poor Connecticut Huskies football team. Nobody seems to love them.
UConn is 1-1, following a beatdown at the hands of a good Michigan team (30-10) with a super-duper beatdown of an overmatched Texas Southern team (62-3).
First, there are the mean voters in the AP Top 25. In the preseason poll, UConn was in the ever popular "Others receiving votes" category, coming in at No. 31. Not too shabby.
