Hanover Police arrested Ashmita Goswami '94 early Saturday morning for allegedly driving under the influence of liquor. According to Dispatcher Doug Hackett, the police responded just after midnight Saturday to the report of a hit and run accident involving a parked car on Webster Avenue. Hackett said information from witnesses led police to Goswami, 21, who "was identified as the driver of the departing vehicle." Both cars suffered severe front end damage, Hackett said. Goswami in an interview last night denied the allegations. "I was never in a car and I was never pulled over," she said.

In the fast-paced world of journalism, many of the best and brightest once covered the ins and outs of the country's most selective institutions of higher learning. And Dartmouth is no exception.
Heart attack strikes presidential scholar swimming in the river
Lisa Chang '93, a presidential scholar who had returned to school after a two year battle with leukemia, died Friday night at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center.
Maybe it's a Daniel Webster thing. If the joke circulating across campus weren't, "How many intellectual, idealistic lawyers does it take to run this place?" It might well be: What don't College President James Freedman and provost-designate Lee Bollinger have in common? In the search for a provost, Freedman certainly seems to have picked a soul mate.

In a brief interview during a walk across campus, he said, "I want to do whatever I can to help add to the intellectual life of the institution." It may sound familiar but it should hardly be surprising.
