From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Oct. 12, 1915:

• “The meeting of the Congregational church held last night ratified the judgment of the building committee and architect in the selection of a site for the new parish house, and decided that it should be built upon the south side of the church at 925 Vermont, abutting and opening into the south tower. The present spiral staircase will be supplanted by a straight staircase to be used to ascend to the upper levels of both buildings. In the rear of the tower there will be an open areaway extending the entire length of the main church building, between it and the parish house. The parish house is to cost $15,000, and is expected to be a model of convenience. It will be of brick, color and style to harmonize in the last degree with the main building, of which it will in fact become a part.”
• “The members of the Pi Beta Phi sorority at the university have moved into their new chapter house at Thirteenth and Mississippi streets. The two lower floors of that building are not yet completely finished, but the third and fourth floors, which are fitted up as a dormitory and study rooms, are ready for occupancy…. The new house is the best appointed home of a Greek letter society in Lawrence, having been built expressly for the needs of a sorority.”
• “‘The Fixer,’ a photoplay comedy, will be given at the Bowersock tomorrow night as a benefit for the University W. S. G. A. The K. U. date rule will be off, and the entire student body is expected to flock downtown for the festivities. The proceeds of the entertainment will go toward the Women’s Student Government Association Scholarship fund.”
• “The Haskell Indians will abandon open style football for the present season at least and use the good old fashioned line smash, according to an announcement made recently by Coach Bert Kennedy. The announcement came as a surprise for open football with its long sensational forward passes proved no small item in the success of the winning Haskell elevens of 1911-12-13. Why Kennedy has given up this style of football for the present season is not known, but is probably because of the few old stars back at the Indian school this season. Open play football requires several really good players like Powell, Flood, and Jamison to be really a great success and this material Kennedy does not possess this season.”
• “Boston. — The world’s championship is almost within the firm grasp of the Boston Americans. The Red Hose champions of the American League trimmed the Philadelphia club by a score of 2 to 1 today.”
