LUCKY for little Ursinus College that Mark David Chapman is securely locked away, or the J.D. Salinger-obsessed John Lennon slayer might be applying for the liberal arts college's new scholarship award. The Collegeville, Penn., school - where Salinger spent his fall 1938 semester - is offering the "Catcher in the Rye" scribe's old dorm room (nestled in a fieldstone residence hall overlooking 165 wooded acres) - and $25,000 to a senior high school student. Ursinus English profs want high school teachers and guidance counselors to nominate a creative writing student who fits the bill as a "quirky kid with unique vision."Posted by Dr. Frank at March 3, 2006 09:29 PM | TrackBack
On my way to the Ursinus school, the goddamn gladstones banging the hell out of my legs, and with that crazy hunting cap on, (turned backwards the way I like it) I didn't give a damn how I looked. And all.
