"If you're an applicant and sent this to us: Why? How? Did you make it? Why so awesome?" These and many more questions are being asked this week by the University of Chicago admissions department, which received a bizarrely intricate package addressed to Henry Walton Jones Jr.—which will be familiar to film buffs as the full name of Indiana Jones, from the Lucas/Spielberg franchise. Inside was a lovingly crafted replica of the journal kept by fictional University of Chicago professor Abner Ravenwood, whose writings are used in Raiders of the Lost Ark to guide Jones's quest for the Ark of the Covenant.
