Dr. Michael Seidle, director of the university health center, said doctors suspected two other students might have measles, but their tests produced the negative results late Wednesday.

The resigning employees agreed to stay on until the patient transfers are completed, Petranek said.

"We don't want to locate any facility against the wishes of the majority of a community," said Fred Nation, Bayh's press secretary. "At this point, we don't think there is massive community opposition. But if that develops, we will look elsewhere." The Indiana Department of Correction has proposed repairing four rundown barracks to house 160 medium-security inmates at the former military training area south of Johnson County Park. Nation was responding to comments by state Rep. Woody Burton, R-Greenwood.

"I'm surprised that the DOC would consider putting a prison for rapists and child molesters so close to a family recreation area," Burton said. Burton said the Bayh administration has not been responsive to concerns expressed by his constituents. But Nation said Burton is the only one to complain so far.
