U of I Reports 250+ Cases of H1N1
URBANA, Ill. (AP) -- More than 250 cases of suspected H1N1 flu have been reported on the University of Illinois' campus in Urbana-Champaign so far this semester and more are expected.

Dr. Robert Palinkas of the university's McKinley Health Center says most of the cases have been relatively mild.

Palinkas says students and others who suspect they have the flu should come to the university's health center.

University officials have been asking students with suspected cases of the illness to go home until they're no longer contagious or isolate themselves in their residences.
