A Champlain College student diagnosed with meningitis during reading week has been the only known case reported since in the Trent population.

        Hospital reports early last week said the student's condition had improved.

        Trent informed Champlain College residents Oct. 26. Peterborough medical officer of health Garry Humphreys met with Champlain's dons. And a bulletin Oct. 27 advised members of the university community to report to Health Services if they develop a fever, a symptom of the illness. The illness can be transmitted after close contact.

        Trent's Health Services can answer any questions about symptoms. Call 748-1481.

        In the Oct. 27 bulletin, vice-president administration John Earnshaw said the student's name is not being released to safeguard confidentiality.
