Varsity House fate debated as new KU apartments rise
Old Varsity House moved off site during plans for a 53 unit apartment project at 1043 Indiana in the Oread neighborhood. Officials say the house is to be reassembled on the site after construction but Preservationists remain skeptical about its return as work continues on the four story building. The case was part of talks with City Hall and the Lawrence Preservation Alliance. The owner KU originally proposed demolishing the home but a deal allowed relocation, with renovation plans pending.

He notes three paths for bullied children. reporting is the only effective option, and a statewide anonymous hotline (1 800 CHILDREN) is a positive step.
