COLLEGEVILLE, Pa. (AP) — The number of students sickened by a mystery illness at an eastern Pennsylvania college has risen to over 170. Ursinus College spokeswoman Esme Artz says 174 students have shown signs of a stomach infection. Overnight, two students went to the emergency room, and two others were taken to a hospital Thursday morning. The school has closed its cafeterias and snack bar after students began complaining of vomiting, diarrhea and stomach pain Tuesday night. Classes remain open but weekend events have been cancelled. The school is continuing to work with Montgomery County health authorities to try to determine whether the ailment is food-borne or transmitted from person to person. Ursinus has partnered with Wawa, Wegman's and local pizza shops and a bakery to provide food while the cafeterias are closed.
