The ACU Frater Sodalis Social Club Presents the 31st Annual "Frats Haunted Island"
The men of the ACU Frater Sodalis social club invite you, if you dare, to their Haunted Island. Before you ask the question, yes Abilene has a small island not far from the ACU campus on loop 322. The island is pretty quite scary if you ask me (even without all the ‘haunted house shenanigans’ going on). The 31st annual “Frats Haunted Island” is only open for a very short period.

Bubba the Great Pyrenees Mix is the Sweetest Dog in Abilene – KEAN Critter
Bubba is a big ole Great Pyrenees mix and the most gentle and lovable dog ever. At first glance he looks somewhat intimidating because of his size, he weighs 95 pounds. Bubba was picked up by the pound as a stray and shelter officers said "he's a giant lovable teddy bear of a dog". Please help us find a home for Bubba our "KEAN Critter" of the week. See him at the Abilene Animal Control Shelter in cage W-13.

A Great White Shark Swiming Dangerously Close to a Paddleboarder is Caught on Video
I've always wanted my own paddleboard just to chill out on, but after watching this frightening video, I'm rethinking that. Mike Durand of Manhattan Beach, California had a scary encounter. He was out on his paddleboard when a great white shark got a little too close for his comfort. In fact the shark swims directly underneath his paddleboard. The scary moment was captured by his helmet camera, watch it and see if it doesn't raise the hair on the back of your neck.
