Demand for internship funding from Dartmouth has increased this year, as students seek unpaid opportunities outside of the corporate world in light of the economic crisis, according to College officials. The John Sloan Dickey Center for International Understanding and the Rockefeller Center have both seen increases in the number of students applying for internship funding this academic year as compared with the last academic year, according to Christianne Wohlforth, associate director of the Dickey Center, and Danielle Thompson, assistant director of student and public programs at the Rockefeller Center. The Rockefeller Center in particular has seen an increase in the number of applicants for the Summer term, Thompson said. The Tucker Foundation, however, has not seen an increase, Tracy Dustin-Eichler, volunteer program advisor for the foundation, said. "I expected to see a huge increase of applicants, but it was the same as last summer," she said, adding that 58 students applied for Tucker funding this term. Funding applications for all three organizations were due last Thursday. While an average of 20 students generally apply for Dickey Center internship funding each term, 35 applied for the Summer term this year, according to Wohlforth. There were 40 applications for summer leave-term internships through the Rockefeller Center, an all-time high, Thompson said.

Alice Zhao / The Dartmouth Staff Correction appended Students hailing from as far as Canada and California came together to answer the question, "What is the role of philosophy in religion?" at the Second Annual Dartmouth Undergraduate Philosophy Conference this weekend hosted by Aporia, the College's undergraduate journal of philosophy. Citing the controversy between science and religion that resurfaced with Darwin's 200th birthday this year, Aporia editor-in-chief Jenny Strakovsky '09 wrote in the journal's latest issue that one goal of the conference was to "explore the connection between philosophy and religion and learn how they could potentially work together." "Religion is a part of many people's lives, although it is not studied widely," Strakovsky said in an interview with The Dartmouth. The journal's Spring 2009 issue emphasized the strained relationship between science and religion and the need for interdisciplinary discussions.
