COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) -- The number of cadets with confirmed cases of the swine flu at the Air Force Academy has increased to 67.

The Gazette in Colorado Springs reported Monday that 121 freshmen with flu-like symptoms have been separated from the rest of the cadets. They were placed in a separate dormitory on the base near Colorado Springs late last week when they started showing  symptoms.

The "doolies," members of the incoming freshman class, are among about 1,300 recent arrivals for their first weeks of military training.

A possible outbreak of swine flu ended a summer youth camp early at the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley, where 10 students and three staffers showed symptoms Sunday.
