Swine flu closes Western

Western Oregon University closed down for Friday because of indications that one of the school’s students has caught the swine flu.

For the moment, according to a statement released by WOU President John Minahan, the closure will only last until Monday, when the Center for Disease Control will announce the results of its test on the student. After that, Minahan said, the school will decide what to do next.
