Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life Director Roy Baker said he has watched Wendkos develop and mature as a leader who delegated between the university and his greek constituents. "Max was certainly not a puppet of the university administration," Baker said. "He has had no difficul ty letting us know when he did not agree with us and has his own ideas of what needed to be done and how he was going to reach his goals." Wendkos said he only has one regret. In late January, only about two months into his presidency, he sent an e-mail that blew up into something he never expected. Sending a message to all the fra ternity presidents about a universi ty-sponsored alcohol survey, Wendkos asked fraternity presi dents to caution fraternity mem bers about their responses. "I regretted it, apologized for it and learned from it," Wendkos said Football From Page 1 The honor comes almost a week after the College Sports Information Directors of America named the senior an ESPN Academic All-American last Tuesday.

From creating some unpopular policies to implementing new agendas for greek life, Wendkos has been under public scrutiny for almost a full year. And though he knows he's con stantly being watched and often times judged, Wendkos said he's taken the negative feedback throughout his term and turned it into a positive learning experience. "I fully understood the criticism I would face when I ran for this posi tion," he said. But for Wendkos, it's not impor tant to be remembered by those policies. Though there were facets of his term that he worked hard to achieve, Wendkos said he had one main goal all along: to be a leader After Eliades tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during the Sept. 25 Temple win, Wisniewski took on a bigger role alongside right tackle Chima Okoli. Wisniewski is also known for his ability to play center. The senior made a smooth transition to the position just two weeks ago against Indiana, when center Doug Klopacz left the game with an injury to his left ankle. In addition to his uncle, Wisniewski's father, Leo, also played at Penn State as a nose tackle from 1978-1981.

"But over all it's still newsier when a serious crime occurs." And when it comes to safety in the community, King said the favorable ranking can be attributed to State College's relative econom ic security compared with other metropolitan areas and the pride both students and perma nent residents take in their town.

Their students's tuition is about $9,000 a year. Penn State President Graham Spanier wrote in an e-mail that he has been doing everything in his power to increase Penn State's appropriation since he took office. "I regret that we don't receive a higher appropriation, and I have made the strongest case possible for an increased appropriation for 16 years now," Spanier wrote in an e-mail. "But I don't invest a lot of time whining about it, since the Commonwealth can only do so much, and higher education histor ically is not as high a budget prior ity in Pennsylvania as it is in most other states." Penn State went a year without salary increases for its employees and requested an increase in state appropriations of $l7 million in an effort to keep tuition as low as pos sible, Penn State spokeswoman Annemarie Mountz said.

He said there were definitely dis agreements over what was best for the greek community which often created misconceptions about who he was as a leader and a person. But with the end drawing near, Wendkos said he's thinking more about the final days of his college career. Leaving behind his school, his legacy and his fraternity house, he said it'll be hard to say goodbye but he's ready for whatever the future holds. "A fraternity is a lifelong commit ment and I know I'll see these guys again," he said. "Hopefully they'll be at my wedding someday." To e-mail reporter: vhgsoo3@psu.edu could ever give back. Wisniewski, as with his recent accolade, puts the legacy in high regard. "Even walking around our foot ball building, like I see my uncle's picture every day on the All- American wall," Wisniewski said in last week's conference call. "I walk by my dad and my uncle's name on the lettermen wall, and it just kind of reminds me that I'm part of a Wisniewski tradition that's been going on here for a long time.

But to make up for the $6,900 gap per student would require billions of dollars on top of the already $1.46 billion distributed in student aid per year, Executive Director for Student Aid Anna Griswold said. Spanier wrote that he is not opti mistic for the future. "With Pennsylvania facing a $5 billion budget deficit in the coming year, it is unlikely our situation will improve next year," he wrote.
