DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) --
Luther College in Decorah is reported three confirmed cases of swine flu and more than 30 other suspected cases of the illness, but officials at the private college in northeast Iowa say the cases have been minor and no changes in the school's operation are planned.
College spokesman Jerry Johnson says the college has an online reporting system for students and directs them where to go for further information and assistance.
The outbreak at the school isn't surprising. State health officials have warned there could be a spike in cases once school started this fall.
Cases of the virus, also known as H1N1, have also been reported at Central College in Pella and Iowa State University in Ames.
