There is a great need for peer tutors on campus this semester. Marita DeJesus, head of peer tutoring, said, "We are always looking for more tutors, especially in math, biology, Spanish, French and Italian. The more tutors we have, the better." DeJesus also said that a lack of tutors could cause problems because not everyone is available all the time. "To become a tutor you need an application and a letter of recommendation from a faculty member in the subject you wish to tutor," DeJesus said. Subjects that the tutoring center offers help in are math, biology, chemistry, accounting, Spanish, French, Italian and computers. DeJesus recommends that once students notice they are struggling in a class they should get a tutor as soon a possible to ensure a better connection with the tutor, and better results. She also said that the tutors tend to get overwhelmed right before finals week because so many people wait too long to get help. "If a student wants to improve in a class, he or she should get a tutor right away," DeJesus said.

A point that DeJesus would also like to stress is how unappreciated the tutors are. "Some tutors are paid, but most of them volunteer their time. I don't think everyone realizes that," DeJesus said.

Kristin Zielinski, a senior at Cabrini and a peer tutor, said she enjoys tutoring. Zielinski has been tutoring since her freshman year. She tutors math, sociology and psychology. Zielinski said that getting a tutor is a good idea even if a student is struggling in homework and on quizzes. Getting help in these areas can help a student better understand the material the class is covering and get better test grades.

Zielinski said, "(Peer tutoring) is an excellent program. It helps everyone including the tutors. I think it is a rewarding experience for all."

Review- Shadow of the Vampire

As we get closer to Halloween, nothing is more disturbing than a movie that suggests that a classic horror movie might actually be real. "Shadow of the Vampire" goes behind the making of the silent vampire movie, "Nosferatu," which came out in 1922.

A strange and creepy actor named Max Schreck played the part of the vampire, Count Orlok, in the original. Actor Willem Dafoe plays Schreck in this film. The movie goes on to suggest that the reason that Schreck was so believable in "Nosferatu" is because he was a real vampire. The film is frightening but funny and actor Willem Dafoe is made to look so much like the original character played by Schreck that the audience can't even tell when clips from the original "Nosferatu" are mixed in.

Of course the suggestion that Max Schreck was a real vampire was not based on fact. However, the film is a somewhat believable account of what the making of "Nosferatu" might possibly have been like. It delves into the bizarre world of German filmmaker F.W. Mumau (John Malkovicb), who created the original, and presents him as a dictatorial visionary who will stop at nothing to perfect his work of art.

"Shadow of the Vampire" is witty and a bit peculiar, but its consistent intertwining of what really happened and what might have been is the backbone of this film's appeal. The movie is extremely enjoyable when the story behind it is known.

Review-Jeepers Creepers

When scary movies are made there are usually elements to them that take away from the reality of the whole thing. Someone is always stupid enough to walk in the woods alone at night or to answer the door when nobody else is home. Only the good horror films make the viewers think they could really happen. Picture every single set back that
