Student is now on 13-year plan (AP)

WHITEWATER (AP) – His 12 years as an undergraduate have made Johnny Lechner a celebrity of sorts, so why not go for 13?

Lechner was expected to graduate at last from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater this spring, but instead he withdrew his application for graduation five days before commencement.

“I realized that if I went one more year, I could study abroad,” Lechner said. “That’s one thing I haven’t done.”
